[QUOTE="JKMV12, post: 50624, member: 2019"] i like the 1087, don't get me wrong, but i think it could sound better. again, it is the earlier version of the mod, so there could be some subtle differences. From what i've heard of the 1666, i think i will like it. I'm into a lot of Melodic Death Metal, like In Flames for example, and it sounds like the 1666 would be perfect for that. What i was originally going to do was keep the 1087 in its current state and buy a new 1086 to have the 1666 mod done. But i'm thinking i will like the 1666 more. but i've had my eye on a few of Salvations mods, like the Benzin, Deadplate, and Pit Viper. The problem with the 1087 is that it sounds too out of control. maybe the closed back conversion and a OD will solve that problem. the decimator g string will probably help too, b/c it will get rid of the preamp noise in the loop. Its hard to describe what i mean by "out of control." maybe i just need to get used to the "tube sound" because this is the first tube amp i've played. my last amp was a line 6 spider. but it sounds like the notes are lacking in clarity and definition. The Ultra lead i cannot find a good tone with, so it is going to pete as soon as i get the money. i may try to sell my blackface; if i did, then i would have enough money for the mods and a pedal. i haven't gotten to hear it much b/c the tubes need to be switched. i got it b/c i heard it was really great stock clean module. I didn't expect to get the clean module, it was just a bonus, as was the ULead. so OD>EQ? What OD would you suggest. I'm strongly considering the ROD880, but i haven't heard too many opinions on it. I guess it would be like adding a fourth preamp tube. would that sound good? Thanks, John. [/QUOTE]
