Hey - so the master volume is post-phase. But the volume 2 control is pre-phase, so you get the best of both worlds. You can play around with the two and drive one more than the other. Or, you can turn the master volume all the up and have volume 2 act like the master volume on a 2203. This amp, like all SonicTone amps, is handwired on custom-designed, handmade turret boards. All transformers are Heyboer. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
@@sonictoneamps thanks for the reply.. you use all good quality stuff. I'm looking for the AFD tone without the post phase master... I don't like what it does to the high end and feel... slash's amps never used the ppimv. Do you think you will offer a straight modded 2203 circuit with an extra gain stage and the slash voicing (.1uf/10k) in the future?
@@marvelharris9540 well just as an FYI, the post-phase MV used is the type with the dual-gang pot (commonly called the "Lar/Mar" type) - and I find that to be the most transparent of the post-phase MVs out there. That said, while we don't do much customization to what's set in the current product line-up, if a customer wanted to switch the Snakecharmer's MV to pre-phase, we could definitely accommodate that. At that point, the Snakecharmer would be what you're asking for - more of a 2203 pre-phase MV circuit with the extra gain stage and Slash voicing
