    Demo video for the Mark X mod

    Hey Sepherus, I didn't have a donor module either, I had to part with a near new Sl+ which I loved. Anyways the Jackson dominion is a really nice guitar, I've kept the 59's in it though I have been tempted to try EMG's 81/85. I like the way it sounds and has a pretty large tonal spectrum...

    Demo video for the Mark X mod

    A month or so ago I asked the question who does the best Mark IV and the answer was Rob. It arrived back to me in the mail the other day... Very cool indeed. If you Like Lamb of God here is a link with me doing Blood of the Scribe cover. I didn't mic the cab and you can hear the picking of the...

    Jaded Faith Mark X review (actually gushing praise!)

    Does anyone have any sound clips of the Mark X to check out? I took advise from you guys and got onto Rob and sent off my sl+ this morning. Very excited to say the least...

    Which modder for a Mark IV

    Out of all the modders who emulate the Mark tone, I was wondering who comes closest to the IV. I know that Pete and Anthony are doing some great stuff, I guess I just need help choosing. Cheers

    mini switch voltage rating?

    Thanks very much, that helped a lot. The module I had in question was a kh2. I think it has a fantastic tone with great sensitivity to pick attack. Hopefully you have one to talk about. I've fooled around with c3 & c14 and have a cool tone which I like. I'd like to see what it sounds like with...

    mini switch voltage rating?

    Wow, thanks for that. I'm interested in learning more about bow these modules work and how they can be manipilated to discover new tones. Is there anything at all that you might be able to pass Down? I know that r31/r25 raises or lowers gain but I've heard r24 is somehow connected... Thanks...

    Tight switch mod

    If the legs are joined together and only one goes in the board it works fine but I believe that it will be a little more secure if both go in the board.

    Tight switch mod

    So you've done the C3 mod and maybe the C14 for the mids? The C14 cap ranges are generally 100pf @ 1kv to 470pf @ 1kv and all sizes in between. Both are relatively simple for switches, I use spdt 250v 2A mini switches to swap between caps. To get a noticable change I used .001pf & .0047pf 600v...

    Tight switch mod

    Hey, are you wanting to add switches or just tighten up a high mid voiced module?

    mini switch voltage rating?

    I thought I'd just try the 250v 2A mini switch and it worked nicely. Now I got a tight/fat switch on the Grail...

    mini switch voltage rating?

    Hi there, I've been searching for threads on mini switch voltage ratings. I know that all caps are to be rated at least 400v, but I can't find any mini switches over 250v. Are you guys using relays or do the switches handle the load? I am wanting to make tight/fat switch and c14 switches etc...
