yes it had more gain, I am not sure as to what he did, well no I just received some info from a friend on what was done, however I was told not to say, very simple mods done with the existing circuit. all my amps back in the day were 1976 2203, 1979 2203, and 1982 2203.budubum wrote:Grosh_Guitars wrote:It was so long ago I don't really remember .

so if he didnt add a tube, did it have gain then? if so, did he add extra stage thru the V2 like rocca forte then.

I was like " Oh Im sorry sir, I hope you get better soon" and so Ill have to wait. Obviously I can not give out his number without his permission, so it will be at least 10 days till I talk to him again.
so guys did you get in touch with Frank ??Grosh_Guitars wrote:I'm sorry, I can't share. If Dave wants to share than that's okay. Out of Respect for Frank I can't. Frank told me he would have a new amp out by 2010. Frank still does mods as far as what he has told me. I will tell you I loved the amps that he did for me back in the day, wish I would have never sold them. I still poke around on ebay looking for them.
