Yeah, I am on this, but for good reason, I think. There are consequences to believing in things that aren't true - in this case, the spread of bad information can have an affect on an amp's resale value. And then there's the new discovery aspect - for example, if the mid push/pull had turned out to not be a C++ mod, then what is it? A mystery mod like that would be interesting to learn more about.Elpelotero said:I thought I obsessed over details. You guys got me beat!

C++ Mod:
o It is an extra Gain mod, wherein the Bass frequencies are cut out, and there are more upper mids put in. This allows you to dial the Bass and Mid knobs higher than normal (previously from 0 and 2 up to 3, 4, 5, etc). Having the EQ is essential if you do this mod, as it allows you to dial the bass back in that is being sucked out. On a Simul, some of the smooth rounded tone will disappear in favor of a more raw, hairy tone. It is not selectable via a push-pull pot or switch. Once it’s in, it’s in. However, Mike B. is able to remove it and bring the amp back to stock gain. It costs approx. $200 to have it put in.
