Yes, I am looking into a metal sticker that could be put inside the amp to show it has been modded. If I get it done I will send it out to all the folks who have had a mod done here!

How about a free amp mod for someone who comes up with the winning design for a metal foil sticker?? Ruth could be our unbiased judge.

I am sure there is someone out there that can come up with something better than mine:

Ken, Inside's o.k., but I'd like one on the outside, right on the grill cloth.

BTW, I'm home waiting on FedEX to bring mine. They came yesterday, but I wasn't home and they wouldn't leave it.

The grill would require a backing block like they used behind the BW emblem and the Peavey logo. My though was to affix it to the modified chassis. That way it could be applied here before the amp ships and would stay with the chassis, in case the chassis was ever loaded into a head cab, etc.

O.K., I'm convinced. I got my modded NV400 back today and I've just done an A/B test with my Fender Steel King and the NV400 sounds better, but it is close. It's clearly brighter with better string separation than it used to be. Great job, Ken! I'll display my KF logo when it's ready.

It's been a few months now.

Still happy with my Fox Intensely Modified NV400.

Lots of subtle tonal variations to explore.

Truly unique with its own personality.

Money well spent. Thanks again, Ken.

I find the same, Joe. Instead of being lucky to find one good sound all night I can now find many good settings with the modded amp. It is just plain easier and faster to dial in a great sound for my Tele or steel.
!

I was so pleased to get an email from a recent Forum member with a modded amp. He likes it better than his new Steel King!

The response has been great, I appreciate the opportunity to have done the mods for all of you.

Ken, I have the Sessions 400 LTD, would love a copy of the spreadsheet. Thanks, Tom

I do not have a mod for the Session 400 LTD amp.

Got them sent. I have some new board layouts that can be printed in two parts and includes more details. The parts are circled for easier ID. Also you can paste them together for a much larger working drawing.

30 more kits are now ready to install. Average time is one day in the shop unless other repairs are needed.

Ken Fox · Post by **Ken Fox** » 24 Jul 2007 12:01 pm

Bump.

Ken Fox · Post by **Ken Fox** » 3 Aug 2007 9:35 am

I have around 20 kits put together now. Let me know if you have one coming. Turn around is still about a day.
Shipping back by FedEx. FedEx will cost you a lot less than UPS and they seem to do a much better job. So far no banged up boxes from them!

Ken Fox · Post by **Ken Fox** » 11 Aug 2007 4:16 am

Thanks, Tommy. Looks like your friend, Tom Williams, is getting his ready to ship down as well! Much appreciated.

I have a good stock of kits for now and the turn around is same or next day, typically.

Let me know if you have one coming!

Shawn Brown · Post by **Shawn Brown** » 12 Aug 2007 7:23 am

Hi Ken,

Could you email me with some info on the cost of the modification and also the cost of the parts, if I was to have it done up here?
thanks
Shawn Brown

Ken Fox · Post by **Ken Fox** » 12 Aug 2007 8:42 am

Shawn, I sent the spreadsheets. I do not sell the parts kit. The prices on the spreadsheet may not be current as they are over 8 months old.

Shawn Brown · Post by **Shawn Brown** » 12 Aug 2007 8:59 am

Thanks Ken. Greatly appreciated.
Shawn

I have had many mods done by Ken Fox on my sound gear, everything from my old tube Fender amps to the latest digital stuff, and everything he has done has been a great improvment, both in sound, and functionality. This guy is a true genius when it comes to amplification improvements!

Hi Ken,
I have two NV 400's and your modification sounds like my amps need this. I'm experiencing quite a bit of hum and distortion. Could you please send me your spreadsheet. Thank you.

Zum D-10, Williams SD-10, two NV 400's and a lot of other things my wife can't understand that I need (15 other assorted instruments)

Ken Fox · Post by **Ken Fox** » 14 Aug 2007 2:13 pm

I cannot send file attachments via Forum email. Anyone wanting the info must email me with their address in the body of the email from the Forum
