Here are some of my mods, some are old recordings and I am still learning better ways to make better recordings, so hopefully they don't sound too bad, haha! HD-130 mods for Blues/Rock tones: http://soundcloud.com/goforthsound/hd-13 0-in-low-power-mode-mp3 HD-130 David Gilmour tone mods: http://soundcloud.com/goforthsound/david -gilmour-solo-sorrow RD-50 Robben Ford tone mods: http://soundcloud.com/goforthsound/fat-a nd-clean-on-limit-channel RD-50 Reverb upgrade: http://soundcloud.com/goforthsound/rd-50 -reverb-upgrade RD-50 JP50 mods for cranked Fender meets Marshall tones. Weber 10" Hemp cone, with Alnico speaker. http://soundcloud.com/goforthsound/rd-50 -with-weber-hemp-alnico (Recorded using my new Mojave MA100 condenser mic, still learning how to get the most from it). I have not used it much lately, getting my studio setup better for isolation. Jeff Prine is working on a DVD of my mods in comparison to his 65' Fender Deluxe. I hope to post it soon for those interested. Thanks Ed Goforth Goforthsound@yahoo.com | ||

All clips except RD-50 Weber Hemp cone, Alnico magnet (Hojave MA100 mic) were recorded using a Weber MASS speaker load and Palmer PDI-09 DI for direct recording. | ||

That's Mojave to you, not Hojave, lol! | ||

I listened to the two HD130 mod demos. They sure sound damn good to me. Nice work. I think that I'd need a lot of personal/physical modification as well, to make sounds anywhere near that good. Thanks for posting. | ||

Where is the reverb mod details? I should look into that. Is there less hum? | ||

Reverb details for the RD-50? I do this for a living, I am partially disabled and can only do certain things these days, so I am limited to what I can do. Unfortunately I have to compete with so many other great amp techs with more financial backing, and support, I am a little one guy shop. I recommend a simple mod for the reverb for warmer, longer delay, get the MOD reverb tank 8BB3D1B, drops right in. | ||
