- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Use headphones or high quality speakers for best audio and to hear the details. George wanted to showcase the different settings of the Lynch Mod, which is a customized hand wired version of the Hot Mod V2. The Lynch Mod enables more gain and tonal variation out of a stock Marshall amp without needing to permanently modify it. Here he is playing through his 1982 Marshall JCM 800 model 2203 through a greenback-loaded 4x12 cabinet. Enjoy and check out www.legendarytones.com for more information!
Just got the new Lynch hot mod for my 86’ 2203. BEYOND happy with it. My preamp on the amp now runs at 1/2 way. I use the deep switch and put the gain at 1-2 o’clock. Im honestly blown away. Seriously. If you have a marshall you MUST have this!!
Thank you! So happy to read and glad you’re enjoying it! 🤘🏻
Love the GL is playing Walk All Over You by AC/DC to demo!
I actually asked him to do some stuff reminiscent of “All I want” (Lynch Mob) but he decided to do these chords instead :)
@@LegendaryTones That's one cool thing about George, he does what he wants. :)
Great little invention . Love the little upgrades to existing kit
That look from George at 1:51 tells you EVERYTHING! Great job, here @legendarytones
Sounds fantastic, just ordered mine today
Holy schmoly that sounds good! If I ever get a 2203x or a 1959/1987 in the future I'll definitely have to get me this or the Hot Mod V2!
I thought the Randall MTS series with removable preamp sections were cool this is even better!! What a great invention!!!🤘🎸👍🇺🇸🍰
Thank you 🤘🏻😊!!
Spotting some GT VIPRE action! Awesome preamp! Rare now.
Produces some very nice overtones! Sounds rich!
Very cool. I have a v2 hotmod on my 2203x and love it. I might have to grab this modded one too
George, bruh..... You could have at least tossed some Heaven Comes Down riffage in there, that is what this mod is for.
Yes it will! Full compatibility list is here:

I checked and it's a 2204 so I'm good thanks
I brought one of these for my 1977 2203. I was so disappointed with the 2203's lack of gain I only played it maybe a dozen time's in 8 years, but with the lynch mod it gives it the gain it should have had stock. I don't know why Marshall never released a 4 pre-amp valve 2203 and the lynch mod doesn't create much feedback if any. I get better tone's with my Peavey 5150 B cab with Sheffield 1200 speakers than those greenbacks they sound a bit harsh and fizzy.
Thanks for sharing. Your 1977 model 2203 could be updated with the 1978+ shielded wire Marshall did which will make your amp even better and lower noise. It’s one wire and there’s info at my site about that under the compatibility page. Email me with any questions: David@legendarytones.com
Fucking sick
just ordered mine 5 minutes ago
Thank you! I will be emailing you soon for order acknowledgement, etc. Appreciate the order!
I want this!!!!!
We’re sold out on Lynch Mods but we’ll have a production version later this year or early next. We do have the Hot Mod V2 Evo in regular production too currently however. Appreciate your interest!
@@LegendaryTones I'm definitely getting 1! They sound great!!
I've already checked the list for the compatible amps but I'm still not sure if the Lynch mod will work on my Jcm800 2203 from 1989 since I've read "from 1981-1983 models only".
It will work in ALL 2203s. But the split channel 2210 and 2205 models are limited to the earlier versions only.
@@LegendaryTones got it, thanks... I'm safe then.
Is there a chance to see a more gainy device in the future or do we have reached the max limit? I'm asking because my amp is very weak even compared to others.
@@lovecraftmusic8717 Reach out to me at David@legendarytones.com with a chassis shot of your amp and perhaps I can help. Tube types may make a difference as well in the preamp. As far as additional devices, both the Hot Mod V2 Evo and Lynch Mod are maxed out as far as what can be pushed out of them when put in the up position and knob full up position respectively.
I picked up a jcm800 studio classic.
For a metal application.
Which would you reccomend more.
The lynch mod or the hit mod?
Lynch Mods were limited and hand wired and not currently available. We will have a production version of the Lynch coming back in a few months. Hard to know the exact date. So if you need one now, the Hot Mod V2 Evo will work great. Just make sure it is an Evo version as many of the earlier Hot Mod V2 (non-Evo) versions won’t work in the studio classic.
@@LegendaryTones I will keep that in mind. Thank you.
I appreciate the reply
Love it! Now make it footswitchable.
Tried that but it can’t be fully bypassed because of the circuit and the quasi-bypass didn’t provide a food enough tone to these picky ears of mine so I stopped with that idea. Basically designed as “set and forget” for the additional gain you want and then just use the front preamp for how much extra you want. But yes a footswitch would’ve been cool.
@@LegendaryTones thank you for replying, if it hampers the tone dont do it.
I wonder if these would work on Jet City JCA20H amps. The only reason i ask is because they are modeled after a Soldano hotrod and i remember Soldano had a hotmod similar to this.
It actually won’t work on it even though the beginnings of the design were definitely inspired by the Soldano version. However, even the original Hot Mod doesn’t work in the Jet City JCA20H or the Soldano SLO for that matter. Those amps aren’t designed with traditional tone stack cathode followers so the Lynch Mod can’t “see” it and make a connection.
Here’s a compatibility list for future reference if interested:

Thank you!
David
WOW
Which marshall model george use in this vídeo ?
It’s a JCM 800 2203. Either a 1981 or 1982 year. Thanks!
Could i use this on my AC30?
It will work with AC30 circuits as they all use cathode followers (the type of circuit the mod needs to see in order for the mod to connect). That said, the location of the cathode follower circuit is in different positions in variations of the circuit over time. So reach out to me if you’re interested and I can work with you to determine fit and position in the AC30. David@legendarytones.com.
U have to re-bias the amp once it is installed?
Last setting was best;0
Nice! When are these shipping ?
Already shipping. I’m backlogged about 4 weeks filling orders since these are labor and time-intensive. Info at www.legendarytones.com. Thanks for checking out the video and for your interest!
Can this be used in v2 of different brand amps ? Providing it fit clearance.
Yes, if the amp uses a cathode follower tone stack type circuit, it will be able to connect. We have a compatibility list here at the link below. It’s really hard to know if the LM would actually sound good in many of those circuits because I really have it tuned to work best with Marshall-style amps. But the nice thing with the Lynch Mod as well as the latest version Hot Mod V2 Evo is you can insert it into an amp and try and even if it’s the wrong socket or incompatible amp, you won’t damage the amp or the mod. It will either see the cf circuit and connect to it, or it won’t. Feel free to reach out to me at david@legendarytones.com for additional questions and thank you for your interest! Check the link here below.

Are there more comming and can you ship one to germany ? Thanks a lot man:)
There will be a production version in about 3-4 months done on a PCB (same quality components but put on a circuit board). No more handwired versions. We’ll ship worldwide no problem.
@@LegendaryTones perfekt is there a chance to pre order with payment ?
@@Oldironmachineshop If you’d like to email me at David@legendarytones.com, I can put you on a notification list as soon as it’s ready so you can have the first batch. I won’t need or accept payment though until we can actually ship :) I appreciate your interest!
Will this work in a bogner xtc 3534.. would love to add another gain stage without permanent mods.
Bogner is typically based on modified Marshall circuits so I suspect it might, but wouldn’t know for sure without seeing a schematic (and that would be assuming the schematic actually matched the amp as circuits DO change). The other issue and question is “what would it sound like?” I suspect that it may be noisy in that amp as the Bogner likely has a lot of gain on tap already. But I don’t know for sure. Certainly the mod works really well in the Friedman Runt so people have been discovering lots of interesting uses for it.
@@LegendaryTones Thanks
How well does this pair up with my JCM 900 Dual Reverb 100w?
Hi Curt - you may not have seen my other reply yet to the other video, but unfortunately the dual Reverb 900 isn’t compatible.
I put together a list here however if interested in the future.
legendarytones.com/will-my-hot-mod-v2-work-in-x-amp/
To get that tone, does the Amp need to be on neighbor bothering pain volume
No, not at all. That’s the nice thing about adding the gain stage to the amp. You can turn it up certainly for more compression from the output tubes, but the deep switch also helps provide that at lower volumes as well.
Marshall assumes no neighbours
Sounds faaantastic. Urgent question: how does this work at, say, 90 dB on my JCM800 1959 SL 100w?
Which is to say, that my volume is at max 1, lol. Will Lynch still be able to bring this kind of sound?
No, with a non-master volume circuit, the amp will still be loud with the LM installed. I highly recommend you consider a master volume (post phase) installation especially if lower volumes are required.
@@LegendaryTones Thanks! If I may one more Q: playing Angus Young, qhat type of mod, there are so many?
@@viro-de-graphe-matician A big key to the AC/DC tone is volume and compression of the output tubes. You can use an attenuator on your 1959, but I think a post phase inverter master volume mod would be the best start. Granger amplification makes a kit which a tech should be able to help install for you. But in fairness, keeping the volume that low on that amp will always be a compromise solution as that’s not what the amp was made for.
@@LegendaryTones Awesome! Big thanks!
Ah where can I buy ? Would it work on a DSL40 watt amp?
The hand wired Lynch Mod is all sold out, but there will be a production version called the Mr. Scary mod coming soon at www.legendarytones.com. The DSL series however won’t work with it because they don’t use the traditional Marshall cathode follower circuits which is what the mod needs to see. You can visit the webpage for compatibility info for consideration in another amp if interested.
does this thing goes in a vintage modern 50?
It doesn’t as the Vintage Modern doesn’t use a traditional cathode follower tone stack like the JMP, JCM 800, etc. If interested for other amps, here is the compatibility list: legendarytones.com/will-my-hot-mod-v2-work-in-x-amp/
Would it compliment a Marshall DSL 15 ?
The DSL won’t work with it unfortunately but here’s a list for future reference if interested:
legendarytones.com/will-my-hot-mod-v2-work-in-x-amp/
Would this work on a jcm800 2210?
Absolutely! The full list is here at this link below. Thank you for your interest.
legendarytones.com/will-my-hot-mod-v2-work-in-x-amp/
@@LegendaryTones thanks I see that the 2210 is compatible!
Does it work on the 50watt jcm800
It will work in all 2204 model head’s and combos. The only one it won’t work in is the 50 watt 2205 that came after 1983.
Here’s a compatibility list:
legendarytones.com/will-my-hot-mod-v2-work-in-x-amp/
Shit I bought one for 1984 50 watt
@@justinheaven9800 yours is the two channel 2205? Email me and I can refund your money. David@legendarytones.com
@@LegendaryTones it's alright I'll keep it for other amps over time lol
As an amp owner and not an amp tech, how do I know if my non-Marshall amp has a cathode follower
Many traditional Fender, Marshall, and Vox amps are built on cathode follower type tone stacks. But specifically going to the discussion of the Lynch Mod and applications, I put together this compatibility list and discussed the topic a bit here:
legendarytones.com/will-my-hot-mod-v2-work-in-x-amp/
The point being that I don’t recommend the LM for use in any and all cathode follower amps because the circuit wasn’t tuned for them. It was tuned for Marshall’s (or clone types). So even though it would work in a Fender Twin for example, I don’t think it would sound good because I didn’t optimize it for that application.
Thanks for the question and reach out anytime at David@legendarytones.com if I can help further!
@@LegendaryTones will the lynch mod work on my JCM 900 Sl-X 2500????
@@xvx6663 Yes it will. Full compatibility list is here: legendarytones.com/will-my-hot-mod-v2-work-in-x-amp/
@@LegendaryTones also you have to version of the Lynch Mod, they both cost the same and are the same color, what’s the difference ? It says one is reverse wired
@@xvx6663 We are actually sold out on ALL Lynch Mods right now but may make more in the future. We have the Hot Mod V2 Evo in regular production though. To answer your question, reverse wire is for certain amps where the manufacturer reversed the location of the cathode follower. So on reverse units, pins 1,2,3 need to correspond to 6,7,8. The reissue Marshall JCM 800 2203x is an example of a reverse-wired circuit.
Where do I buy one from ?
Hi Chris - these are all sold out, but a new version will return by the end of the year. Check for updates at LegendaryTones or if you’d like to send me an email at david@legendarytones.com, I can notify you when the new versions are ready. Thanks for your interest! Also, Hot Mod V2 Evo models, of which the Lynch is a modified version, ARE currently available and shipping too. Those can be bought direct or from our Motor City Guitar dealer as well.
@@LegendaryTones what do you mean a new version ? Like a second generation lynch mod with new controls and capabilities?
@@xvx6663 The original Lynch Mod units were all hand wired, very labor intensive and that drove the price to $300. So the new one that’s in development will be on a PCB - still very high-grade parts, but will be able to bring the price down substantially. TBD as it’s in development but I think we can drop it to about $229.
@@LegendaryTones the one you sold me made from an old V2 casing , was that hand wired or pcb board ?
@@xvx6663 hand wired 100 percent. :)
Is that a Lynch song, a doodle, or Hüsker Dü "Ice-cold-ice"?
Can this be installed on a 20w solid state single channel tube amp?
No, tube amps only. And it has to be a certain type of tube amp. Here’s the compatibility list in interested at this link:
legendarytones.com/will-my-hot-mod-v2-work-in-x-amp/
Very filthy gain,, it's low end tonal response is a bit loose and spongey sounding kinda like the dirty channel of a Fender Hotrod Deville. Question: is it just for Marshall, or can you run it on other makes of tube amps i.e. Peavey, Orange, Laney, Blackstar, Mesa boogie etc?
Remember when you are listening to a recorded clip, there are other factors going on between compression and types of mics, what UA-cam does, etc. so it’s just a basic example “taste” and the real tone and feel is never fully captured unfortunately.
Regarding your question, the design could work in other amps but it’s really tuned for Marshall’s. I write more about that here where you can see the compatibility list:
