It adds a lot of bottom, and kills that mid-range "nasal sound" that most solid state amps are famous for. Helps string separation, too (whatever that is). Well worth the money, IMHO.

Steven,

Peavey Profex II for one ! Maybe others I do not know . It made a great improvement in the Profex at the time I had one . I installed it myself by using the directions that were supplied . I would not attempt to install it in an amp like the 400, however . I am not that savy when it comes to that type installation .

Maybe you could get in touch with the inventor of this mod and get his take on the various applications it can handle . He may have a link on the forum .

Thanks John for your reply, I think I have to do it to my 9002 pre-amp but I do not know if it is included for the 9002 tube works pre-amp.

I added the LeMay mod to my Session 500 and it rounded out the tone and took the bark that these amps are noted for. It sounds great but still weighs a lot.

Steven,
I think you'll need to send your 9002 to Tube Works. But I don't know if it would be worth the expense. I understand they get around $100 of the mod.
