the mod features : (i) a Fender style power supply for a lively-er amp, (ii) E元4 power tubes, installing E元4's in a made-for-6L6 output transformer produces richer harmonics in the output stage, (iii) dual mode, Master Volume control - both Standard Configuration (with added ground lift) and Ken Fischer style Master Volume Controls for subtle variation a, (iV) a true single-channel front end. also with more power and a higher aggression level. out came this sweet and responsive amplifier with good note definition and natural tone. the surgery took a week and it went well. even though I'd never seen one of these before, the work went ahead and I used my Dremmel to carve out new trace arrangements on the existing pcb board. after settling on configuration options, we agreed to give it a go. of course, Page was and is a Marshall amplifier player mostly - so the possibility came about reconfiguring his Mesa chassis into a 50watt Marshall MkII replica of some sort. turns out Paul likes Jimmy Page's classic middle-periode tone, which is not an over the top distorted tone. he inquired about getting his amp modded so I asked him to send me a schematic and further inquired about his tastes in players and experience with amps and guitars. when Paul contacted me about his Mesa SOB 2圆L6 amp he didn't like the sound and unresponsive feel of the amp.
