So on Saturday I went to Sean's house (DDR4LYF) because of my eminent fear of working on electronics by myself. He seemed to know a lot more about what he was doing than I did. Even though it is probably the most simple mod in the world, he inspected the situation and wham, bam, he was done. We went on to testing the thing...
For those who don't know what this mod does, here is the run down. You basically bridge a wire from the headphone output to the internal speaker. The headphone out is a 1/4 watt output as apposed to the full 5W of the amp. So after the mod is done, you simply flick a the switch at the back and you got a very low wattage amp.
The result is staggering. Getting lekker stacky tones at a fraction of the volume. It sounds so cool! Of course it doesn't sound as good as at the full 5 watts, but mainly just because it's so much softer. I'm happy it feels like I have a new amp in my room!
Thanks Sean!
Hopefully you will NEVER forget the flick the switch when you got your headphones on. Sounds dangerous to me. Maybe a better mod could me to install a female cut out jack or the like. SO when you plug in the cable via a jack into the female one it will cut out the headphones ? Much safer me thinks.
