Modded My Jet City PicoValve and WOW!!!!
« on: April 13, 2016, 08:49:38 pm »
Make your Jet City PicoValve sound like a Marshall JCM800, I kid you not. For about $20 worth of parts, and a little soldering, it can be done. I modded my muddy, toneless amp in about 1.5 hours. There will be 7 posts because I can't get the files any smaller......

Please post multiple entries to a single thread. Don't create multiple threads on the same topic. It looks like spam...
You should instead open your original thread/post, and reply to the thread.

Please see this post about how to properly size your attachments (3300x2550 is waaaaay large).

Haha! Dude,  you have no idea. I've been fighting that muddy thing, swapping tubes, and generally trying to not throw it out the window. It's really awesome now and I've seen SO many people complain about it......... Thanks for your patience.

No problem! As you can, try to go resize those pictures, then modify your post to update the attachment.

As I get a chance, I'll read through. Always interested in bargain amps which sound good!
