Bitmo Mod Kit for AC4

That cryo nonsense is just a money spinner.

Thanks, it was more the ECC81/12AT7 that I was looking for confirmation that it would do, but I'll take your advice Roger.

I'm not 100% certain, but isn't that the valve that will give a little more clean headroom ?

[dave robinson]

Just checked Alan, yes it does give a bit more clean headroom.

[AlanMcKillop]

That's what I was looking for Dave, I saw two mentioned earlier in this thread so was looking for confirmation as to which one would be best.

[dave robinson]

If you clean it up too much you lose the soul of the tone as you need a bit of dirt. I use the AT7 rather than the AY7 and can hear exactly what I want to hear, but it's your choice.
Also with the Bitmo kit I wasn't sure about the switch, but it is useful dependent on which sound you're looking for, there are nice subtle differences that I've noticed and I now use it for different tunes and different guitars.

The Blues Jnr you had off me Dave had a 12AY7 in the V1, it should give less distortion at higher volumes

I didn't keep it Keith, it wasn't for me.
