Was hesitant to revoice my amp (JCA 22h) from what it had (Jubilee/Plexi) because it was sounding sooo good, but did it anyway.
Now I have her as Phil X voiced on channel 1 with and HBE on channel 2.
The Phil X channel has a 3 way toggle switch that drops out more and more gain at each click. Goes from heavy crunch to medium gain JCM sorta stuff then to plexi/clean.. extremely usable in every setting.
Then there's the voltage divider switch. This affects both channels. One way decreases headroom slightly and adds compression, with a slight drop in volume, very nice.
I see what all the fuss is about with these amps, absolutely fantastic! Such a huge range of tones to be had. The harmonics just jump out of this thing, and a nice tight bottom, but not too tight. Very musical in every way.. Oozing with tone.. hot molten tubey love..

50% bias with high headroom Russian EL84's. I found hotter bias settings don't work well with Marshall voiced amps, things get mushy.
Now I need to get good so I'm qualified to play this thing..

Anyway, who else plays Friedman's or other Jose style circuits? Best you've played?

Hopefully I can get along to a gear fest for y'all to have a jam!

Higainer alert probably

True. We'll see if he bites.

Let us know when you offer this mod as a service!

Jose Mod, my favourite for rodded Marshall tones.

Best amp I’ve played thru is a Mojave Peacemaker, Jose Mod by Ryan.
In stock form it’s Plexi all the way, AC/DC to early Van Halen.
Jose engaged covers Priest, Maiden to Sunset Strip tones ala Ratt/Crue.

Friedman’s APC/Naked mod is a little different from the other offerings.
Simple clean.
Dirt channel a combo of Naylor Super drive preamp with 100w Marshall power section.
A smoother type of gain but with a darker voicing & tight low end.

You will need a Jet City amp..
But take your pick,

I have a good relationship with Bryce the owner of this page.
If you get an amp and want it modded, I'd be happy to do it for you.

Nice man. I wonder who else in nz offers these services now that Ryan is outta action..

Dam wish i'd kept my JCA 22h and done those mods ... would have been epic

Yeah. It's a shame the Rockshop couldn't keep supplying them too. They pop up every now and then. There's actually a 50 watt combo on TM at the moment at a good price.

But ya know, for the price of these amps, it would still be a fraction of the cost to import one new and do a mod. You would get something that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a blind test. SLO 100 for $1000.. yes please!

yeah kind of wish i'd hit the head/cab that was on TM earlier in the week .. $350 for both from memory

Shit, I missed that. The 50h stayed on there for a while. Sold last week I think.

Yep, damn shame he’s off the radar now
His work was stellar.
Don’t know of anyone that’s stepped up to the plate.

You sound like you’re on the right track tho

Edit: just read Delayman’s just saying post.
You could try hitting up Waylon McPherson.

Had the 100 and a 212 - it was just too much

You added a switch that allows you to remove gain? I don't understand this concept...
