Up for grabs is my BrownNote ODE 44. Its in mint condition and was built by Moss himself and is not a kit. Below is the mods done by Moss in 2015.... From left to right;  top left is the NFB,  below that is PI Voltage,  middle top is OD hi-cut,  below that is reverb dwell,  right bottom is pre-OD gain.  When you see the board it will make sense. The PI Voltage needs to be set with a scope with the set of tubes you're using, since that's not possible in this case it should be set at 50% and left alone. The NFB will change the character of the amp the most. At full on 100% its like a low power tweed twin, at about 50% it's like a brownface Vibro, all the way down is stock Dumble. The OD hi-cut is the next most tweakable. It only affects the OD and cuts the ultra high frequencies only. The Gain trimmer is best left where it is at 40k to ground, or about 5oclock as seen from behind but you can bump it up or down a little. Too much will make the OD too mushy, too little is thin and weak. The reverb dwell is set at full so you can run the reverb control at noon for medium reverb and all the way up gives you very wet reverb. Ideally the dwell should be set to work with the back panel reverb mis control at about 60%, that's where the signal is strongest. That sounded like all the way up on the dwell trimmer to me so that where it's at. Other mods include: 68pF bright cap on Master Volume, with push/pull switch (RF circuit) Increase NFB range from 4.7k-9.7k to 4.7k-54.7k Add reverb Dwell control Replace V1 tube socket (damaged) Change v1b entrance network from 220k/470pF to 110k/500pF for increased clean drive. Change 390pF ceramic treble cap to 390pF Silver Mica Change mid boost cap from .002uF/390pF to .0012uF/390pF for more clean spank. Change presence cap from 1uF to 2.2uF (RF)  Change presence pot to 2k for better control Most of the changes are keeping with typical ODS circuits, with a couple going further into Fender territory.
