The Mod® Electronics MOD102+ expands on the same all analog vacuum tube classic American circuit design combined with a British style Class A output section as the Original MOD102 with additional “+” features. These special features include a three position progressive toggle switch for off-standby-power and additional push-pull functionality for each control - pull out the bass control knob for “mid boost”, pull out the treble control knob for “bright”, pull out the volume control knob for “turbo”. These new features and a JJ ECC803-S (a long plate 12AX7 known for its complex mid range tones) allow for a wider variety of tones and extra control for the user.

MOD 102+ Guitar Amp Kit Features:

  • All-Tube Design (solid-state diodes used only for full-wave rectification)
  • 8W output power into 8 Ω
  • 1 channel
  • Vintage channel controls with push-pull functionality: bass (+mid-boost), treble (+bright) and volume (+turbo)
  • Vintage pilot lamp and screw-on jewel cover for power-on indication
  • Output Impedance: 8 Ω
  • Tubes included: one ECC803 (JJ Electronic brand preamp tube), one EL84 (JJ Electronic brand power tube)
  • Hammond Mfg 269EX power transformer and P-T31 single ended output transformer.

  • Point to point hand wiring using terminal strips
  • Carbon film resistors
  • Metalized polyester coupling caps

Wrapped and under the tree for now. I am excited to open it and begin work on the amp Christmas day. I will update this review and take pictures during the building process. Can't wait to plug my Fender Bass into it. A follow up project will be building a Bass speaker cabinet with classic speaker components from AES.

This is a great amp! It has great clean tone and reacts well to my pedals. I never crank the volume past about 9:00 (I have small kids at home), but at low volumes it sounds lovely. The kit was easy enough to build, and the instructions were appropriately detailed for a novice builder. The components seem to be decent enough quality. I notice the control labels recently received a refresh (shortly after I purchased mine, apparently); I hope they took the opportunity to improve the quality of the material used for the labels, as the vinyl-backed paper used before tends to degrade quickly with any rubbing or curling. Also, I had trouble getting the self-tapping screws for the chassis to self-tap; I had to use a tap bit on my drill to cut through the chassis sheet metal. I would also recommend printing the parts list in color to help with identification of the resistors (unless you have your color codes memorized), as the instructions I received were black and white. For the money, though, this is an excellent kit - fun and straightforward to build, with delightful results.

Nice little kit! Instructions are pretty clear and it's certainly not overly complicated to build. Having some amp repair/building experience helps, but I'd say even a beginner could buy this, build it, and be playing it within a day or so. Once built it sounded pretty good as well. Fun to swap tubes around, substituting the 12AX for a 12AT, AY, or others. The 'effect' changes on the pull switches are pretty subtle, so don't expect anything dramatic there. But, the amp makes a great platform for learning, and even 'expanding' from the original design. I've put an EIA connector in the back of mine so I don't have a cord sticking out. I put some tall 'feet' on it so it would clear a speaker box handle. And, the power transformer is suitable for adding a 6CA4 rectifier, which I plan to do in the future. I'll have to move the filter capacitor section around some to make clearance for the socket, but it's a 6 volt 9-pin rectifier, so will work perfectly in this amp. I might even 'upgrade' the output transformer....or play with some yellow jacket type adapters to try a different output tube. In all, a lot of fun to build, sounds great for what it is, and I'm very glad I made the purchase!! A 'GREAT' value!!!
