I posted the stuff below to alt.guitar.beginner but nobody there could help. Anybody here got any ideas? [ This is a repost of the following article: ] [ From: EskWI...@spamblock.panix.com ] [ Subject: Vox Valvetronix Mod? ] [ Newsgroups: alt.guitar.beginner ] [ Message-ID:
Answer:
I can't attest to whether or not Vox makes one model, which they would sell as the 30 watt with the adjustment knob, or as a 15 watt model with the adjustment knob turned down and inaccessable to the user, but I do know in the world of mainframe computers, that's exactly what is done. IBM endows mainframes with various features that make it extend well beyond the price you paid. If you want a feature, you pay IBM, a tech comes in and enables the feature (whether it's adding another CPU, upgrading the mainframe to another one in its class or whatever). So what you say certainly is possible. If they did that, my guess is that they would remove the knob and all connections it had to the amp such that you could not upgrade it. Check out the forum at www.patchtronix.com - a Valvetronix site. It's not something I've read about there but mods on these amps are discussed, mostly speakers and adding speaker out sockets etc. http://www.patchtronix.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB2&file=index
