Re: Modded my OR15
I have a lot of intrigue with this mod but sadly I can't discern the difference either. Do you notice a bigger difference in person?

Re: Modded my OR15
Well i'm old & probably a bit deaf & on my crappy computer speakers I can hear enough difference to ask,could this mod be made to work the other way round?,i.e.mod a JRT to get the OR15 tone & be able to switch between both?,having the extra flexibility would be a big plus for the JRT.
Re: Modded my OR15
On my budget LG I can clearly hear the difference in the vid comparing the OR15 to the JRT.
But I can't hear any difference in the modded OR video.
(To be fair, he was using a slant cab with the OR and a straight cab with the JRT and the cabs weren't individually close-miced. With a single distant mic, the cabs' dispersion differences and the placement of the mic may have contributed to the tonal differences.)

Re: Modded my OR15
The difference is the voicing, which I think everyone is going to hear a bit differently, but it’s there. It’s a good mod for this amp I think just to have the availibilty of both amp voicings. I could criticize the techs work though...
Re: Modded my OR15
Is there a description of the Mod & the components involves,i've read through the thread,but didn't find a description from the OP?
If the components are added to an OR15,i presume they would need to be bypassed in the JRT,which could be tricky,depending on the layout.
I'm really interested in trying this out,more info would be great.

Re: Modded my OR15
Yeah I'm having a hard time capturing the different voicing with my phone. It's much more noticeable in the room. If you bounce back and forth on the scrub bar from say :05 to :20 its easier to hear.afjungemann wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 10:23 pmI have a lot of intrigue with this mod but sadly I can't discern the difference either.

Re: Modded my OR15
I Can hear a very slight variation in tone.
The #4 mode seems a little tighter (not massively) and a touch more top end? Is that right?

OR15 = warmer/looser, perfect for classic rock/stoner tones
#4 = more open, throaty sounding/definitely tighter, perfect for metal/better clean tones
I could never get a good palm mute chugging tone out of the OR15, that was the main reason I wanted to try doing this mod. And who wouldn't want two amps in one?

Re: Modded my OR15
Do you find the mod to the OR15 sounds similar to comparing the OR15 to the JR (assuming you still have both and have compared) ?

Re: Modded my OR15
I think what your asking is - Does the #4 mod on the OR15 sound like the #4 amp? If thats correct, yes the mod sounds the same as the #4 amp.zedexseven wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2017 10:26 pmDo you find the mod to the OR15 sounds similar to comparing the OR15 to the JR (assuming you still have both and have compared) ?
Re: Modded my OR15
Cool, I can hear a pretty big difference just in the iPhone clip. I could see where the root mod would work better for aggressive musics, which is right up my alley, I would like to have this done to my Rockerverb!

Re: Modded my OR15
I dont hear much of a difference, gain sounds the same. Only difference I hear is the JR side sounds like a slight treble boost, its a bit brighter. As long as you like it, thats all that matters!acidvoodoo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2018 3:02 amGot a new cabinet today so I shot another quick video switching between the voicings: https://youtu.be/OMMHSPkMTOE
