Mesa Single Rectifier (loop mod)

*A Mesa Single Rectifier came in for an FX loop mod (Parallel to Serial)


106th pedal built! - DOD 280 Modded Custom Compressor (best version so far!)

*Finished a DOD 280 Modded Compressor, that works very well for bass and guitar also.
I took the time to mod and test this one, you can see all the sockets :D
Very transparent, and it lets all the frequencies through!

MXR Pedals in repairs

*2 MXR Pedals in repairs - Fixed an MXR Micro amp and the MXR Blue Box is still in repair




Fender MIM Strat - Pup Change / Nut Change/ Setup

*Fender MIM Strat - Pup Change / Nut Change/ Setup; the old one had the D string way too low (I put in a nice graphtech and also brought it perfectly to size and filed down the slots to accommodate the radius also)
Before and after!







Jackson setup and rewiring

Mesa Caliber .50 (round 2-> repairs)

*The Mesa Caliber .50 (same one) came back, because previously the owner did not mention it had real problems (so it did not need just a tube swap).
Had to diagnose everything, took off the board (desoldered the 29 wires haha), and measures everything I could, and also cahnged some filter caps.
Played it for some days, and it does not exhibit the same problems so far. Unfortunately the amp has a very dodgy PCB,so I really don't know how much life it has in it hehe; I also resoldered some things. It works OK now, but we shall see.
I already hate mesa amps haha
