[QUOTE="SpitfireMusic, post: 153648, member: 3532"] Some things to try to capture that rickenbacker vibe from your guitar (if possible) 1. Try flatwound strings instead of round wounds 2. Setup the guitar with the root strings toward the ceiling and the octaves toward the floor (instead of octave then root on a downstrum) many vintage ricks were setup this fashion and it changes the timbre slightly 3. Try a compressor if you haven't already, some of those famous jangly tones are the result of a compressor squashing the tone I could loan you a stock top boost if you covered shipping both ways, I just no longer have a modded vox Mod since I use a vox ac30c2 as my primary amp. If you wanted to part with the or50 module I'll think about cash and a stock module if you have any interest. I've just been thinking of getting a custom mandarine graphic so I wouldn't be 100% sure and knowing you like that Mod I hate to see you let it go. [/QUOTE]
