Amp mod - Incredible tone boost!!! [message #295] Fri, 12 January 2001 19:50 Go to next message

Believe it or not...this mod only works on factory original amps that came in the plexi face Electronics Inc era Black housings.... It really was a Christmas blessing that I stumbled across this mod...any other time of year and I likely wouldn't have had the materials on hand....I was eating a leftover Christmas decoration cookie...you know the cut out kind....angels, trees, bells...icing on top...and then a dash of sprinkles...(see where this is going yet?)...so I'm leaning over my combo and some cookie crumbs fall off the top...and these little red sprinkles land on my amp...and Oh My GOD!!!! the tone was like instant improvement!!...volume increased by a good 20% and...well...it still brings tears to my eyes just thinking about the shear revelation of it all...you were right JC, you were right Jimmbo..you were all so right....black sparkle amps rule!!!! (just wait til i get some of those chocolate sprinkles like Deb uses on my pudding pies....)stay tune for more mod news!

Anyone old enough to know the name Kustom should have seen "Network" at least once..... Oh well... It must be the vapors..... oh how I love Armor All..... I dig the tone and power of the origion tuck'n roll amps. In fact, I like pissing off my guitar playing friends by dumping a low-B out through my K250 Folded Horn and watching them try to find their volume knobs. I may not be a collector, but I am a fanatic and a frustrated tuck'n rool freak. My only actual Kustom complaint is that there are not enough to go around, and the recent reissues are flimsy particle-board fluff. What better use for Armor All (Other than the vapors) than putting a beautiful shine on my Kustom tuck'n roll.
