MOD Review:
"Kinda
hesitant to
contact
someone
on-line for
custom amp
mods and
define "a
sound" or
"tone" your
looking for?
It's like
trying to
describe the
color
blue....where
to start?
Well, it sure
helps when the
fellow
listenin' to
all your
gibberish is
also a
guitarist and
hears those
same little
sounds in
their own
head, make's
life that much
easier.
When I spoke to Chuck at Retro-King and mentioned what I
was looking
for, he
responded "I
think I know
what you
want"....he
sure did. I
had the amp
back in a
week,
including the
two days to
get it there,
fired it up
and nearly
shat myself,
Chuck nailed
it, first
shot.
My amp was a custom built Plexi in a previous life from
another
"boutique"
shop, great
work and an
excellent base
for the mods.
I wanted lots
of thick lush
gain and still
be able to
return back to
that old plexi
clean with a
simple move of
the jack.
Chuck put an overall "master" volume in, revoiced the
front end and
added
increased mid
control and
now I have a
fire breathin'
dragon without
pedals, E.Q.'s
etc when ever
I want it and
without
hassle.
Granted, Chuck has his own line of amps and could easily
have given me
a sales pitch
to push
product, he
didn't,
instead he
worked with
me, to save a
heap of dough
and make the
best of what I
had already
spent much
hard earned
cash on,
thanks again
Chuck."
