An Introduction to Amp Modding
The following guest article is by Joe Gillespie. Joe runs a great blog over at www.joesjamblog.com about all things Spider Jam (as in Line6). Joe has been building and modding amps for quite a while (check out his ‘Little Tweedie‘)
There’s a line in the Dire Straits song “Sultans of Swing” about “Guitar George” that goes “Yes, and an old guitar is all he can afford.” That has always amused me because it really should have been, “A new guitar is all he can afford.” There is something about old guitars and amplifiers that makes them so desirable – and expensive. It can’t all be nostalgia. Is a late ’50s Les Paul or Stratocaster really better than their modern counterparts? Considering all the advances in technology, can an old Vox or Fender amp honestly sound better?
