    Modded My Valve Junior!





    Standby switch, and FAT switch. The fat switch drops the resistance between the two halves of the preamp tube, and increases gain and overall loudness. It may not be THAT pretty, but the sound is what I like!

    Hecks naw! I'm not touching the HrDx! It's too good like it is.

    As far as interior pics, it's not that much to look at. Luckily, this is the Series II, and it has the DC filament circuit, so it's very quiet noise-wise. The only things you will see is the wires running to the standby switch, and the wires on R6 that drops the resistance between the two gain stages.(it's a 100K resistor paralleled on the 1 MEG resistor that is stock) I also modded the input circuit to be more like the #1 input on a Fender. That mod is on the underside of the board. I'll probably post pics after practice tonight.

    BOOO! You're such a Debbie Downer!

    Seriously, I've read a lot about these guys and how mod-friendly they are. Now you just need some sound clips too!

    Well, I have an SM57 and an M-Audio interface, so I can post some clips later, too.

    sounds like some cool mods!

    i hear so much about what these amps can become. my amp tech has one in his shop right now, for "some work". i can't wait to see what comes of that.
