MotorCity Mods - Exciting News !!

Johnny Wadd · Sep 30, 2014

Just wanted to share with everyone that MotorCity Mods has has added 3 BRAND NEW modules to the line up !!

1 - "One" by Pirate Mods - A spectacular clean mod (you may already know this as the "Mystery Clean" that we posted months ago.

2 - Rockmod - by MotorCity Mods - The BURN channel is like no other high gain amp you have ever heard. It produces a huge amount of articulate and musical gain with an ability to retain its openness and dynamics. Every note played is easily tracked with excellent clarity and rich harmonics exploding across the entire fret board. With the Post-Gain knob, all amounts of saturation can be controlled, from light to heavy. Burn is the only way to describe this preamp and once you try it, you will agree...

3 - Maggie 335 - The very first Modular preamp to feature 3 tubes and built in effects !!

Visit MotorCityMods.com to check it out!
Audio clips coming soon !!!

Pirate Mods is an offshoot of some of our MotorCity Mods team. We will have 3 total Pirate Mods that will have some cool faceplates and great tone...

Mattfig · Oct 1, 2014

Thanks guys for the kind words and support!

Man I'm looking foreward to hearing some clips

Mattfig · Oct 1, 2014

Clips this week...

BTW, for anyone wondering, the Maggie is based off an old Magnatone which also served as a platform for some other popular amps...

lintycreep · Oct 1, 2014

Nicely done gents. The Maggie mod seems interesting enough that I may have to lift my purchasing freeze! Congrats!

lintycreep · Oct 1, 2014

After checking out the faceplates.... I'm guessing we can assume the John Kaska is one of the partners of MotorCityMods? Maggie 335.... made in Los Angeles... Rockmod... no name variation needed to avoid lawsuit.

Or is this the thing Bruce alluded to... amp makers creating their own modules. Very interesting

mfgobbi · Oct 1, 2014

What about the pirate one mod, what is it based on?

Also, I have a rockmod 2 preamp and I love the crunch channel... including a switch for the crunch channel sharing the tone stack with burn shouldn't be difficult. Is that apossibility?

The Pirate Mods "One" is a nice clean - clips are already posted of it listed as the "mystery clean" back from when we were developing.

Are you accepting donors for the Maggie? I have a stock tweed and will send it toot freakin sweet. **** you, I was planning out my GAS depletion and was convincing myself that I was nearly set for a while. A Magnatone with true tube vibrato? and 3 tubes? GTFO

You're joking, right?

but seriously....can you tell us about what model this is based on and of the 3rd tube handles the vibrato and of that vibrato is true pitch shifting?

also, is the circuitry following the older schematics?

Hiya,

The 3rd tube handles the vibrato, yes. The Maggie is based off a Magnatone 213 just like the Evil Robot...

Oh yes, this is the real deal. It is both pitch shifting and amplitude....!!!! VERY authentic

Whoa. I can't wait to hear this module! My Dad played a Magnatone 2x12 in the late 50's and early 60's. I have a bunch of his old recordings using a Gibson 355 and the Magnatone (I think I may have one with his Les Paul he bought in 1959 for $325 dollars, which was stolen from his car later that year).

I may have to buy one just so he can record through it during his visits!

withmittens · Oct 1, 2014

agreed, pretty stunning news. looks like my Supra purchase will hold until I recover from this. There's only two, in the event that I miss the opp, how long till another shows up?

congrats
