An amazing transparent overdrive design on some settings, the hype for this is justified IMO.

Original Floyd Rose - New Brass L Block (with customizations)

 Changed the small brass block on my Carvin’s Original Floyd Rose trem, and replaced it with a big L brass block, but it needed adjustments and sanding to properly fit and move in the cavity as intended for my particular guitar.

Fits great now!

Pickup magnet swaps (Carvin C22T & C22N)

 Decided to swap the alnico V magnets in my 90s US Carvin DC200.

I used roughcast Alnico 4 for the bridge and Alnico 2 for the neck. I quite like the sound now more, as this guitar is inherently bright anyway.

Soldano SLO100 Clone HGE Contraptions Build pending

Since I like my Ceriatone Chupacabra 50 Hot Rodded Plexi build so much, I decided to do another amp in the future... 

 The legendary 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗼 𝗦𝗟𝗢𝟭𝟬𝟬 🔥🤘🤤 

 Looking forward to this one, as tonally, it'll be quite different to my other amp. My PCB variant has an additional Optocoupler that will entirely prevent the clean channel from bleeding into the lead one (as this is now fixed on the newest SLO100 models).

As seen I installed 2 selectable chokes, and added additional switches for certain mods that I believe Mike Soldano also offered aftermarket if you would have gone with the amp to him.

Still debating whether to do some additional switchable slight gain mods or not.
