bor sho mod question

[screamersusa]

I do like my modded bor (the real one lives in the guitar case as a backup).
I changed the 470p/470k to 120p/220k, added a gain switch on the second stage, and used a different
amz tone stack as well as a 10k pot for the main gain. I can get a nice sparkle through decent rock tone.
I'm using different coupling caps to tame the bottom. It's a little more "Diezely".
I like it a lot at 12v But I need a little more gain. I play rhythm NOT lead by the way.

What would happen if I built another one this way?
Change source resistors to 10k, and added a 4th stage?
Possibly up the 1 meg biasing resistors to 2m since I like 12-15v.
I'd use trimmers on the source untill i get it where i want it.

Going for a cross between Marshal,diezel and engl savage.
Slightly dark, articulate, from purr to a smooth roar.
This is for the third channel of my personal preamp.
The engl mod3 and riot are on the 4th channel.

I just simply built a stock (minus tone circuit) bor with an added stage
and 1k trimmers on the last 3 stages.
I'm going for slightly higher gain to make legato notes easier to play.

NEW question

I want to switch out one gain stage on each 4 stage preamp.
Whats the best stage to switch out? I:E: two tones.
Stage 2, leaving stage 1 3 4 as stock Bor or engl, or stage 4.
Seems some amps switch in stage 2 like the savage.

Not an answer to your question....but what is the bor SHO?

Box of Rock?

It is very similar to the SHO boost circuit, with refinements to make it sound more like a standard amp input and less glassy.

Oh, THAT sho...lol. I'm over here googling for a company named "bor" .
