Hello everyone,
These months will be busy for me as i will finish the recording of the successor of "Arcanes & Sortilèges" with my band Darkenhöld. We already have the main parts of the songs but as you probably know there are always tons of details to fix too (production, arrangement, cover art, lyrics, copyrights...).
It will be released by Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions in the the mid of 2025 hopefully.
You can check out our previous effort here if you like French Medieval Black Metal etc...
So, this channel will be probably a bit slowed down these coming months but i'll will try my best to share with you the maximum contents i can as i have plenty projects here as well.
Tonight no video but next week will see the continuation of "Essential Riffs" serie.
Greetings from France (and Slava Ukraini)
Guillaume

Hello,
I've made a demonstration of a Marshall SV20 Mods for ‪@OptimGuitare‬. Check it out!:

The Marshall SV20 Studio Vintage is a 5/20W version of the famous PLEXI.
Even in 5W mode, this amp is too loud for being able to the preamp in the classic british crunch tone territory, while keeping an acceptable bedroom sound level.

We moded this amp with :

- a standard "pre-inverter" master volume
- an effect-loop return level pot. With the other master volume pot which can act as a send level, we can now adjust perfectly the signal level for the effects and have the best signal/noise ratio, and adjust the output sound level
- a JTM45/PLEXI tone stack selector (push-pull on the above pot)
- a 6-position rotactor which adjusts the "bright caps" values from the JTM45 style to the PLEXI style, with all positions in-between : we can now explore a whole range of tones and match perfectly the amp to the guitar, if this one is more or less bright
- a 12-inch CELESTION CREAMBACK speaker in place of the stock 10-inch speaker
- an internal bridge between NORMAL and TREBLE inputs (no need for external patch cable)

The amp becomes now a very versatile amp, able to give tones from JTM45 style to PLEXI style, from bedroom level to Gig-level !

All these mods are reversible because we used the original holes in the chassis. So the amp can be returned to its original configuration !

This is an example of what can be done by OPTIM'GUITAR on your amp, to make it perfect for your usage !
Guitars : Fender Stratocaster American Standard 1996, Gibson Les Paul Warren Haynes 2008
