I bought this from a dude on TGP so the mod was inherited. From what I can tell Jeremy (Ground Zero) @RedPlated modded this amp by swapping the “Contour” Ctrl with a push-pull “Depth” Ctrl (it's still labeled Contour). Thread that will cover it better than I can: https://www.rig-talk.com/forum/threads/interesting-wizard-experience-yes-i-altered-one.234407/ I don't want to speak for or misrepresent Jeremy in any way. He's active on the forum and might have something to say about its legitimacy. I have instructions on how to reverse the mod if you want them but I don't know if I would TBH. I attached a few pictures of the mod (jack closeup & pot close up)

Unrelated to the mod, I tend to clean tube sockets when I get a used amp and noticed that one of the power tube sockets was cracked. I had an amp tech tend to that and he even used the same brand tube socket which was nice. Great work which I attached pics of.

I did my best to highlight the features/flaws of this amp with the limited number of pics I could attach but if you want more, there are plenty so just ask! Overall, it's in pretty good condition with some corners looking better than others.

$4,100 PPFF *SOLD*

Yon can put it back to stock in 10 minutes. .0022uF cap and a 100k pot will put it back.

The 82k resistor can be lowered or even eliminated if you want to increase the effectiveness of the depth control. The resistor cuts a lot of the boomy low mid.

Depth is push pull for either .0047 or .0068 depth cap. That’s it. Super simple. It sounded much better with the added depth.
 
Interesting !!! Damn all Wizards starts to appear now.. ! Headbangwall !!
 
I would definitely NOT mess with the mod, it's a welcome addition. I just can't handle 100 Wizard Watts which means I guess I have to hand over my man card or something but I'm pretty sure that it might be giving me tinnitus just thinking about it ?

What about an attenuator. handing in your man card would be an egregious violation of manhood. You would be demoted to some sort of bizarre man child.

Man child might sum me up pretty well actually! I just have too many amps rn
