Thanks for all the help on the questions on the Galaxie... It is looking like I am leaning that way more and more as a probable replacement for my Maz... Gonna try to track one down local to test out.. I was wondering what those that have the MV mod or have a new Galaxie thought in comparison to having the Presence control? For my needs the MV will be a definite plus on the balance between the channels from what I have been reading..

I SWORE, & be damned, that I would NOT give up my presence control, for almost 2 years.
However.......I took my beloved Galaxie #3 to Z-fest a cpl weeks ago, & left orders to install the MV mod.
It just makes sense. I had to be reeeelly careful about adjusting the 2 vols(each channel) so as not to kill the clean channel w/the dirty. You absoLUTEly cannot set them the same, & hit the switch for leads. The dirty channel will kill the other 1, volume wise.
We'll see. If I don't like it..........it WILL be un-installed.
I don't know if this registers w/you....but if you have spent any time w/this amp....it wud...fwiw.

I was wondering about that.. From what I have read so far and heard a bit off the second channel has some major dB over channel 1...
Well I don't think I am missing out on the Presence control over the MV since that noon position is where I like presence controls at on my Flatstone amp...

Can the MV be like a pull out thing. Pull out and it's the MV mod, in it's still presents? Is this practical?

I've only had the Galaxie for a few weeks, and I'm thinking about having the mod done. The first thing that I noticed is that the presence does not have a very dramatic affect. I've owned a Fender and a Boogie that had a presence control, and it made HUGE changes to the overall tone of the amp. Not so in this case. The only use I've found for it is when I dial the treble control back to lessen the gain; I use the presence to add some brightness back. But if I have the master volume mod, I really shouldn't need to use the tone controls for gain as much; so it doesn't seem like I would miss it that much. Has anyone out there had the conversion done and NOT be satisfied with the result?
