DIY Amplifier Modifications
If you are like me you've always wanted a $2500 boutique amp but could only
afford the lower budget amps. I definitely get "G.A.S." for
boutique amps but I have devised a way to turn ordinary "Plain Jane"
guitar amps into tonal monsters! It's really a fairly simple process, and I'll
walk you through it completely from beginning to end.
Our videos are downloaded onto your computer (mac or win). You
also get complete guides detailing complete safety practices, supplies needed,
and schematics. We show you EXACTLY how to work on your amp SAFELY, without ANY
doubt!
We'll walk you through the circuit thoroughly and discuss
possible mods, and what the individual stages and components are doing and how
they affect the tone.
Everything is explained in clear, easy to understand language -
we don't use "big words" or confusing terms.
30 day 100% Money back guarantee if not completely satisfied!

Common Questions
***********************************************
* Is it for beginners, intermediate's or advanced DIY'ers?
If you haven't purchased one of my beginners DIY
books or downloads you should do that first, as this might end up being a bit over your head if
you are not familiar with the basics. It is tailored more towards a beginner - intermediate though.
* What do I get with the download?
- You get videos that show how to work on your amp safely
- Tips on modifying the amp
- How to remove the circuitboard from the chassis
- Complete walkthrough of the circuit
- Details on what parts will be good ones to change, options as to what you can change
them to and what the change will do tonally.
- Pdf version of the safety guide as well as the schematic and circuitboard
layout (layout not available on some amps), that way you can print it out and refer to it
while working on your amp.
- I'll show you how to turn your amp into a totally different amp if you'd
like...For example: Vox/Fender Twin/Marshall/Bogner/Mesa/etc.
* Will there be other amps available?
Yes...we are adding them regularly.
* What format are the videos in?
Flash and quicktime. If you don't have these installed on your computer we have
provided the links to download them (it's free). 99.9% of the time they are
already installed on your computer.
* How large are the downloads?
Big since they are videos...about 50mb minimum.
* Can I purchase them on a CD instead of downloading them?
Yes! You can now purchase the Classic 50 mods on cd, and more will be available
soon!
