QuikMod® is a small booster tube pre-amp that has a special plug and cable that plugs in place of the first tube (12AX7) in most guitar amp pre-amp sections. Quikmod replaces that one tube and converts the lowly one-channel tube amp into a two-channel unit with tonal, gain and sustain possibilities heretofore not possible. Furthermore, you can instantly switch between original amp's circuit and the Quikmod's sound using a footswitch.
Quikmod works with most of the favorite and common brands of amplifiers such as: Fender® including Super, Twins, Showman, Champ; Marshall® JCM800, Plexies, or JTM45; Epiphone® Valve JR; and Matchless® Class-A DC 30.
Songwriter/producer/guitarist Oliver Leiber and I tried Quikmod on an Orange 50-watt, JCM 800, Matchless DC30, Fender Twin and Epiphone Valve Junior amps. If you're comfortable switching out tubes, you can hook up QuikMod. Exact operation and front panel knob settings vary somewhat from amp to amp depending on the amp's particular internal circuit design but I found no reason to ever switch back (bypass) to the amp's original sound. Quikmod rocks!
We arrived at our ultimate tonal G-Spot using either a Matchless DC30 combo or the Marshall JCM 800 head driving a Bogner 2 X 12 closed-back cab. Quikmod will transform any retro-sounding amp into today's world of super distortion Screamo sonics and back again at a simple push of a button.
The Quikmod single channel unit sells for $389 MSRP. For much more about it contact Kasha Amplifiers at 818-584-2299 or visit: www.kashaamplifiers.com.
