I see this now and then, thought I'd start a thread here for it. Chime in folks!

My take on it is, if you have a module that you kinda like but have a few issues with, you're a candidate to mod it. Here are a few things that mods can do:

1) more/less gain
2) revoice the module - need more or less EQ in certain frequencies?
3) switch mods - need an orange sounding tone on your rectifier? etc.
4) bass cap mods - helps with 'woolly' modules. My first mod was making the bass cap switchable so you could adjust your amp to whatever cabinet you were using.

Modules also can be reworked to get the sound of a different amp. It's generally best to stay in the same gain range though. I rework plexi modules into my modded 'brown' modules now and then, since the brown modules from Randall aren't in production anymore and are getting hard to find.

If you love the sound of your stock modules, great! Leave em alone. :)

The nice thing about mods though is that if you like a module, after good mods and proper communication with the guy doing the mods, you should LOVE it.
