To mod that would probably lead to regret. I had a ‘78 for 10 years and towards the end, possibly out of boredom and partly because a band mate had an 800 with the same mod that was amazing, I got Soldano to do his high gain mod to it. Lived in the same city. The minute I played through the amp after it was done I was like…Fuck..I guess I shouldn’t have done that. It couldn’t touch the stock amp with pedals and I no longer could get close to the great stock sound by lowering the gain knob. I sold it soon after. In hindsight I should have had the mod removed but this was back when you could easily get another one for about $800-1000 and like most of us gear whores, after 10 years wanted to try something else. Not all 6 knob Marshall’s react to the same mod the same way, so even if you hear a modded one that blows you away, you may not get the same result with yours.

Plus, your clips with pedals sound friggin’ fantastic. I don’t see a mod beating what you’re getting already.

Yeah I've made my decision - I won't be modding this one. I'd much rather experiment with different pedals!

Wise decision. Try a Fortin TS9 if you haven’t. Super greasy and aggressive in the mids, and a totally different flavor than the TC.

Super expensive but I will if I find a used one. That Aesahaettr is really amazing as it comes with that parametric as well. I don't even have to use the TC anymore!

I think they can be found in the mid to high $200’s sometimes if you hunt around. I’d imagine the TC would at least sound more raw, organic/less filtered vs the Aesahsettr. I’ve only had the Lichtlaerm noise gate and didn’t like that it had that typical filtered/new pedal sound. I just got the same TC pedal you got, but will be some time before I’m able to put it through its paces. Fwiw, my 2nd favorite boost pedals I have to my Klon (which is way too expensive now) are my 2 recent made Tamura modded Tube Screamers. I especially love them with my Boogies, in particular my Rev C & D Recto’s. The Fortin is still more grindy/nasty in the mids, but the Tamura’s are still mean in their own way with a nice creaminess almost Klon-like and more versatile with which amps they get along with

Just listen back to the variety of killer tones you’ve got just in this thread with different pedals and settings. 6 Knob MV Marshall’s have yet to be beat in decades for achieving whatever heavy sound you could want. As time has past it only has gotten easier with the amazing array of pedals we have. I would venture a Mesa MK is the only tone that is a little unique but there’s probably a pedal that would get you close out of that Marshall. What’s great is you’re not held to the one or two tones a boutique 3K plus high gain amp would give you when you!re down for pedals with an old Marshall.
Plus those high gain amps will all suck at the glorious tone of that Marshall stock with the pre at 5 and some volume when you want to get you’re classic rock ya ya’s out.
