Members Mood Bender Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 did the Ruby's seem to move the voicing down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobrahead1030 Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 it's kinda hard to say now, i've had them in there for so long i remember it sounding tighter, but more open at the same time (altho not by much) a little smoother and less fizzy when i put the ruby's in...but i've had them for over a year now, so it's hard to recall just what it was like with the JJ's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cobrahead1030 Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 ok guys...i sent trace the schematic and some gut shots (of both the v1 and v2 versions) and swapped e mails with him for a few days to get some things figured out...being that the switch is wired in via flying leads, the mod can be done no problemtheir minimum mod order for amps shipped in is $150; a toggle switch mod like the one we're talking about (for just one channel/single switch) is gonna run $50-70...since their minimum order is $150 tho, that would leave another $80-100 after the initial mod you'd have to spend; so if you wanted some other type of mod, new tubes, etc. you could put the rest of the cash toward those thingsi hope i'm making sense here, i tried to explain what trace and i talked about as best i can...if you have any questions past this, it's probably better to contact himsometime in may or early june, my cobra is being shipped up to voodoo for a notch switch mod tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mood Bender Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 what mod exactly? ... Ch2 -> norm - notch - Ch3 or norm - Ch3 is that $150 + shipping both ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kyle DiSanto Posted April 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 Mike...That sounds great! I have to take a trip up there one day to get all this done! Mood - yeah... all mods= + shipping both ways...so yeah, look to spend 100 or so on shipping alone. {censored}, it would cost me 100 in cash money just to get there and back lol, but hey, if it is a feasible idea, its worth it.

If you want to drive in then we can experiment with various things with regards to the switch, tweak the gain if you like, etc while you play on the amp. This way you will have exactly what you want when you leave and it does not cost extra for us to tweak the amp in person for you. If you are driving in then there is no shop-minimum.

Members The4thlast1 Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 So did anyone find anything out about a mid voicing mod. Possibly making the notch switch more usable. I guess the mod that we know now thats posible is guitarmans gain mod with a on off switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobrahead1030 Posted April 19, 2007 Members Share Posted April 19, 2007 what mod exactly? ... Ch2 -> norm - notch - Ch3 or norm - Ch3is that $150 + shipping both ways? basically all of the stock sounds will be available except channel 2 with the notch engaged, since that tone is more or less useless to me i want the notch feature on that channel replaced with a low-mid boost $150 + shipping is a good bit, but that lets you do more than just that particular mod (i'm gonna get new tubes etc. on mine, but you could put that money toward an fx loop mod or something similar also since you have to spend $150) i'm actually gonna ship mine to trace, and then pick it up in person as i'm visiting NY this summer anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the switch is not PCB mounted (from the pics I was sent) you can do a wide variety of things with it, including tailoring the mids. While it would most likely require enlarging the hole you could also put in a 5 position rotary switch and you could them select between 5 different midrange voicings. That is only one idea and there are several things you can do but naturally it depends on what you want to achieve over all.
