Not much to mod other than put in a better speaker. Rewire it into a tube amp? Could be done but its kinda tight in there. They sound pretty good as they come.

They do sound good in normal mode,The Drive channel is not my cup of Tea,I picked one up cheap and was thinking of doing something to it.These Amps do look nice.Looks just like a real tweed Champ!

sferguso Does the chassis of a 5F1 fit into the cab?

Here's a chassis diagram from Weber. 8.75" wide X 4.02" high X 2.58 deep.

the chassis is smaller than the cab, i believe a princeton would be the perfect fit, ill use a cover plate to make up the difference . Will post pic when done

Dave's Boothill kit showed up on my door step today, about 18 days from FL to BC time to get busy putting the parts together and install in a Bronco cabinet. I've got some really nice push back wire from hoffman that I'll use.
Pics soon

Is there room to squeeze a 10 inch speaker in one of these?
