Amps with "saturation" or "clipping" circuits are popular these days (Jose, Friedman, Cameron, Ceriatone, Bogner, etc.). So I designed a Mod Board that adds two popular features to JCM800 type amps:
1. A three-position Structure switch. Middle position is stock; the bottom position adds a bit of gain; the top position adds the most gain. Similar to other Structure switches.
2. A two-position Cali Clipper switch that adds gain without adding noise. The volume drops when engaged, making it possible to get saturated tones at low-volume settings. Kinda like a Jose mod, kinda like a SAT switch.
Switches mount to rear panel of amp, requiring two quarter-inch holes.
Ten Mod Boards have been built and tested. Many have been "spoken for" (note: I'm not taking cash before these are boxed and ready to ship). The second batch of boards will be build by mid December.
Cost of first-batch Mod Boards: $40 plus shipping. Basic installation instructions will be supplied. These instructions will show how to install the Mod Board in a JCM800 clone with turret (or eyelet) board. Some tips for installing in PCB-amps (Marshall 2204) will be included. The board is ideal for Egnater Seminar Amps, so go build one.
Sorry, no cup holder or flames will be included.
