So I picked up a JCM 800 2204 a few months ago from (out of all places) Guitar Center. I got it for a steal. Yeah it needed some work that i did, but i didn't stop there. It was a stock amp for the most part, except a funky diode clipping mod that the 2 position switch gave it more gain. and the "more gain" sounded not so good and a poorly replaced volume pot.
Nonetheless, I went ahead and contacted my go to amp tech Jens Kruse of Kruse Kontrol out of Los Angles California. We went over a number of items I wanted to do to the amp. I did what I could to to do the amp and then it was off to Kruse Kontrol to do the remainder including a number of Kruse Kontrol Mods.
I've read a number of posts regarding amp techs and mods on this forum both positive and negative. I know Wilder is an avid contributor and by no means am I stepping on his or anyone's feet with their go to amp tech with my post. However, I will give credit where credit is due. If you want your amp to sound like it should, or just want it updated, fixed or modded, check out Jens and his work. I've dealt with a number of amp techs both locally and well know ones. I will tell you that Kruse Kontrol takes your experience to another level regardless of who you are. Your name and band may not make his A-listed clients listed on his web site, but your sound will be no less than the A-listers sounds. Check him out at http://www.krusekontrol.com/
Enough Kudos, here is a before and after of My JCM 800 and it sounds amazing.
