Much better sounding and reliable amps available than a Marshall.

I did this to both my 100w and my 20w JCM800’s, Major game changer. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

WOW, had to watch the intro 3 times. Love the model interchange. Just have to hear it again. Wonderful.

Great demo, Pete! I have one in my 1979 JMP 2203 and it’s a remarkable addition - I am over the moon!!!

That is a really cool & easy mod. Listening to the intro track, I was reminded of what I learned taking music theory in college. "Bach 'permanently stuns' a kitten everytime you use parallel fifths." I always thought that was dumb, but you have validated my stance today. Stellar writing and playing!

That opening lick is a killer. Making my day. Feels like the first cut on your 2nd CD, which always has me bouncing in the car.

Dude, I love this demo song. This is one of those "I wish Pete would put this on an album" moments.

It's pretty much the riff from 'Jailbreak' by Thin Lizzy with some embellishments from Pete. Great song!

Well done Pete. I've got one in my 800 (2204) from '85. It kills, and David's service is top notch too.

Just got one for my 79 jmp. Fantastic. Dave is a genius!!!

I have seen these before in adds and so forth but this is my first listen through. Edutainment at its best. Mr. Thorn bringing the roses. (see what I did there, oh I crack myself up.)

Thanks for the demo ...mine just came in and can't wait to plug it in

Very cool, Pete. This is the first demo I’ve watched for one of these units and it sounds awesome! I have a ‘76 2203 MV, all stock and I think this would be perfect for that amp. I’ve used a TS-9 in front as a boost for years which works quite well but the noise it adds is not desirable. Thanks again for a nice review!

That's a pretty dang slick idea. Sounds good without being over the top.

This is nice in that it doesn't permanently mod the original amp, pretty cool!

Great playing and sweet tones Pete! Plus You write really awesome tracks! I always look forward to watching your videos! Take care!

I had the opportunity to hear it at my buddy's home, on his 1959 super lead 100W hand wired and it is amazing

Thanks Pete. Really interesting product but wow the demo. Your opening instrumental was one of the best sounding instrumentals Ive heard. Loved it

Loved the video and your song. Also loved your smokin riffidge over jailbreak ( such an awesome riff ). Keep making us Canucks proud!

Sounded pretty great at that bedroom volume. The right pedal might be more flexible and tweakable but this was cool.

What a great way to mod without modify the amp, i absolutely love it.

Got one of these a few months ago. Absolutely stellar!

Fantastic opening jam!! Love the Hot Mod!

I have a 1980 2203, and your description is spot on. Generallly a very nice amp, but always just a bit too loose on the bottom and leaving you wanting a little something more. Tone is great heare, as always. Tightens things up nicely.

David is awesome and this unit is superb. I own 3 of these and they are in my JMPs and JCM800 2203. Stellar work.

Thank you Garreth! If you haven’t tried yet, take a 12AT7 in the left position of the HMV2. You’ll find it cleans up very nicely when rolling the volume back on your guitar. That’s how we ship them now. You still get all the gain when you roll back up as well. Try it out sometime and hopefully you’ll enjoy it that much more!

I'm enjoying mine with a Marshall Studio Classic 20 watt head. Running the preamp on 6.5 and the master on 4, high gain switch, hot pickup, and its hot-rodded Marshall heaven!

Strong EVH energy in the intro tune. Love it.

Great device , just bought one and works amazingly well in my handwired JTM45 , thanks Pete fore your great videos !

I been researching the 1987X head all day and Pete hits us with a Marshall video. Now I need someone to talk me out of buying one.

Man.. Pete, your demo compositions are just amazing 👍

Beautiful playing and beautiful tone!

I've been wanting to get one of these for my Marshall jcm800 4010 combo. Looks and sounds great!

A very clever idea. - Sounds killer !

That sounds really great with that explorer with the 496 and 500 T pick ups. I have a Klon that does the job for tone on my 2203 . 😎

Killer tune man. Love the verse riff, very very much.

Great haircut Pete. We're at that age where we can rock it better short than long. ;-} And as usual....you give the best gear demos. Absolutely LOVE your playing!

Holy crap! That thing is a game changer. Thanks, bro.

Perfect. Many thanks for your swift reply Pete, much appreciated and a very comprehencive indeed. Some amazing links too. Always great demo's, keep the good work up. Regards, Glyn.

Sounds cool nice idea . i never moded my 68 1987 plxi ive had it for 40 years and now im glad i dident so many cool overdrives out now . im thinking of getting a 1987x to mod instead great show !

This makes me wish I had kept my '79 50w. What a cool idea.

That's good 80's Rick opening. Was great time for guitar music.

Super cool! That's some extra oomph, for sure!

That main riff in the intro tune is so fucking happening man -- love it. It's got a VH meets King's X feel,....with a giant dollop of Pete Thorn,....of course.

Thanks so much,Great and informative Video,,Going to try this in my JCM 800 50 watt,and my 50 watt Plexi by Ceriatone

Saw the add for that gizmo in this months Vintage Guitar magazine and now we get to hear it!! Pete thorn is like Warren DeMartini! Maybe better!

Yup, I have it! It also fits in the SC20 and the SV20, could someone please do a test with the SV20? A plexi with an extra gain stage?

Hell yea Pete, I've never heard that tune and it sounded great. I assume it was an original, the slidey arpeggios with the bar sounded very melodic. I think you went minor to major and it was very cool sounding over the changes

Definitely adds more distortion to the distortion! Likely adds more sustain and still stays warm sounding!

Cool. Thanks, Pete!

Dude that opening track was killer. Trying to think if it has a Vai vibe or not but it’s awesome. Almost like Vai meets EVH.

Thanks Pete, fantastic demo and a great mod. definitely something I’m interested in ☘️ loving the Thin Lizzy jailbreak riff 🇮🇪

You have to leave the rear cover off your amp in order to flip the switches. Or cut a hole in it. I just run a 5150 modded RockMaster as a preamp into my Marshall heads if I want more gain. Plus all the groupies love a RockMaster....

Super cool!

Nice. With the mod in flight it just approaches the gain majesty of my $300 peavey classic 30....

Beautiful play ing

As usual that price! This tone chasing is not cheap. Killer sound and playing. I want to be more like this guy. New dsl coming bet I won’t need to get jacked for these funds to buy this cool as it is. Let’s jam two tubes in one socket!😂🤣😂

This cat can make a one string uke sound amazing.

The Lizzy riff sounds like Gary Moore's live tone when he was using a Colorsound Overdriver in front of his JMP's!!!

Great song to demo. Lizzy rulz! More and more folks are getting these. I like my 4104 stock, gain dimed, master around 4. Have a SLX 2100 to compare it to. The 4104/2204 cuts better in a band mix with second guitarist who uses one.

Just ordered one for my master volume marshall clone 2 channel plexi/jtm. I already love how this amp nails that ac/dc sound, but I like the more modern gain most of the time. Not over the top just more, this sounds like it's going get me what I want.

@@lanceraustin yeah just looking for a bit more grind like the 80s hair metal sound. This didn't really do it. It did improve the gain greatly though. My Mesa does 80s-90s and Jet city custom handles anything heavier, all without distortion pedals.

Always like the way the late 70's JMP 2203 & 2204's with the Dagnall's sounded. The later 80's horizontal input with Drake's sounded too stiff & bright.

Very cool

What a clever idea! Does this fall into the category 'thinking out of the box', or would this be 'thinking inside the box'? 😁 Pretty cool sound!

i saw a video 2minutes ago with paul gilbert using a similar amp and they played a gary moore song. guitar sounded so dull and lifeless. like an old solid state amp with mxr D+ in front of it or something like that. paul gilbert should really watch Pete Thorns channel. He could learn so much here.

You always get such a great tone, you should make some IRs of the cabs you use, I know myself and others would be more than happy to buy them!

I put one of these in my Dr.Z SRZ and it was a game changer for the amp . I was on the verge of selling it because I just couldn't get the gain I wanted out of it with just an overdrive in front. The V2 was worth every penny!

Cool idea, but needs come way to be switchable (not necessarily footswitchable, mind you), or vary the gain (like the Lynch mod version).

Very very nice! I like it! I wonder Pete: being a modder myself; would it be possible to send an amp to you for your heartfelt evaluation? I mean, not for video; but you are a top musician I would listen to about tweaks and stuff.

You've got to love a bit of Lizzy. Nice vid and cool easy amp upgrade.
