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 DIY amp modification kits are various pdf's and videos that are shipped to you on a cd. All you will need to do is open up the CD on your computer (mac or win) - no installation of software is necessary. 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. If you aren't familiar with what a capacitor, resistor, or how to solder then you will want to purchase either the beginners "How to build effects" or "How to modify effects" book first.
* What all is included on the CD?
- 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 sounding amp if you'd like...For example: Vox/Fender Twin/Marshall/Bogner/Mesa/etc.
* 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.
