I've done a few mods (couple of MXL to Royers and some eprom/chip swaps for other units) And in those cases there was either a complete rebuild in the royers case or a functional difference (eproms). But what about mods in the sense of just replacing a few chips to make things more clear or "right". I dug up a pair of original 3630's this past week to sell, (which apparently are very IN-STYLE for EDM folks in europe). After seeing some of the responses to it, I got to thinking about some of the mod folks did on them. One in particular was Peter Purpose's mods. Has anyone actually done these mods (Peter if you're out there and wish to chime in, please)? And if so, was the effort/cost worth it for such a "low grade" piece? I understand that the original stock pieces have a "sound" (albeit a "bad" sound depending on who you ask), but a sound none the less. I'm considering doing the mods to one of the two units as a comparison, but don't want to waste time on a piece that im probably not going to use anyway unless the mods actually make the unit worth it.
