The instructions contain diagrams and are very detailed. Lots of novices install my kits with no problems.

Something is probably not right. It does reduce the preamp volume a little. You can raise the Drive knob up to compensate, but it should not affect the tone significantly. Are there any other mods done to the amp?

@BitMoBruce I tryed all different settings still muddy. reverb works but it takes alot away from the tone of the handsome devil. think twice before you spend the money on the reverb mod. I will be removing it tonight and tossing it . expensive lesson for me. Thanks Bruce

Are you sure it is working right? I have it installed on my Handsome Devil and I love the sound of the amp. I like it better than my Fender Deluxe. (But then I also have the Dapper Devil mods installed too.)

@ronecat I put the amp back up on the bench last night to re-check the difference between the stock circuit and with the reverb connected. With reverb, by boosting the gain knob one notch and the presence knob 2 notches, I was able to match the stock sound. If you don't get similar results, something is wrong.

@EntertainerCentral Yea i agree, the "tweed" does sound muddy. I was thinking it was going to sound very clean because you said there was way more headroom. Is it just the recording? I'm thinking of buying one but i don't know for sure yet since the tweed isn't very clean

@BitMoBruce Hi Bruce your website says that the kit "Upgrades all coupling and tone capacitors."so how can stock be stock?

I am listening through some sprectrum EQ'd studio monitors and to me the "tweed" sounds muddy and the top boost OD fuzzy rather than smooth. Maybe it's the mic or recording also low definition audio codec at 240p doesn't help. You need to record HD video to get a better youtube audio codec but most important are what is your recording mic and is it clipping?

the tweed setting is awesome !

how hard is this to install for someone who has never done something like this?

[uiterniels]

how hard is it to add an FX loop to the little giant? and what do you need?
