When this pup was modded, Ace of Pace, replaced those stock caps going into & out of the lateral mosfets' drivers with 3300uf non-polarized caps! Really opened that pup up. What a stunner to find out most modeling instrument amps utilize 3300uf caps also, to help deliver their wide variety of tones. Was amazed by all those sonic subtlties that 235 was then able to coax outta Celestion's Vintage 30s. No wonder Duane-n-Dickey sounded so dynamyte! Have had Marantz 2216B, 2220B, 2226B, 2238B, & SR2000 units throughout the years in da audio arsenal. All were warm-n-wonderful, with that 2226B the fave. Let a bud borrow it & he subsequently smoked it hookin' it up to 60s-era Altec A7s with shoddy wiring. That 2000 provided studio guitar amp duty for a decade or so, until it accompanied a pair of cleavage freckles up to Chico(ah mis-spent youth). How much of that Marantz sound do 235s deliver? Don't know! Do know these muthers are capable of delivering clean Winterlandish volume levels! Took a Sansui 9090 to cross over to that next level, what with its' ample power reserves!!!
