REVERB OUT 470 470 470 1K 1K
REVERB IN 3 Mods offered by Mike B for a IIC. +, ++ and switchable +/++. Phone Mesa for Mike B's prices. They're very reasonable.
V4B V3A
A C+ can be modded to a C++. The 12 factory switchables were SP11A, but I've seen some later DRG switchable +/++s
For ++ hardwire in the values listed
C36
For switchable +/++ you need a relay and power for that relay like in the Mark III. The R2 channel is essentially a ++ boost
22uF L1 1.0H L2 0.39H L3 0.22H L4 0.068H L5 0.033H
220K 15uF also used Lead values for +/++ are hardwired in but the extra 3.3M/10 or 20pF and 15uf on V2B switched on/off via relay
R34 R35 C35
3.3K REVERB OTHER MODS (CUSTOM WORK) 3.3uF 0.47uF 0.22uF 0.15uF 0.033uF
REVERB FTSW C51 C52 C53 C54 C55
15uF on V2B on/off for a gain boost when combined with the 100K resistor between treble and volume pot. 35V 35V 35V 35V 35V
R36 R37
.47uF 35V R38 All credit goes to Boogiebabies regarding this mod. Add a massive gain boost. 'Fire breathing dragon' mod.
3.3uF also seen 62K 3.3K 220K Can be switched on from a Middle push/pull pot and/or footswtich. This is a poor mans switchable ++ but does the job well
5.6K also seen
15K also seen Could also piggyback off an LDR so it only activates in Lead Mode or something else fancy
C27 added and C10 as 10pF on simul for reduced brightness LDR5A
R31/C31 can be replaced with bus wire for less lead brightness. Less metal more rock.
68K
R30 can be lowered for more lead gain.1K or 1.5K works well.
68K IS EQ POP FIX. FACTORY MOD. NOT PRESENT ON EARLY C+s
R11 can be lowered to 470K for more clean headroom without sacrificing lead gain too much
