Well, looks I'm going to be getting a Ceriatone and having it 'Dookie modded".
I am not all that familiar with the differences between the 'Lead and 'Bass (those are the two I am looking at on Nik's site).
According to Martin Golub, the mod is done on the preamp circuit. I don't know if that makes a difference as to which i choose.
 
The main difference is a shared cathode on the first stage and I believe the first coupling cap on the bright channel is .022 uf instead of .0022 uf (the latter value making it brighter).
What's the Dookie mod ? :confused:

Same mod that was done to BJ Armstrong's Marshall (Green Day)

Oh, ok. I don't know what the mod is though...

Im pretty sure also the tone stack and slope resistor is 56K/250pf whereas Superleads are 33k\500pf. The output coupling caps are .022uf on superleads and superbass are .1uf sounding more bassy!
