Bitmo results (Blackheart Mod)

I completed the Bitmo mod today. It was pretty simple. Not too many parts. Like … hardly any parts.

I recorded several samples before and after the mod, playing the same guitar line through the Axetrak isolation cabinet (REALLY DRY). I left the tone controls half way up for all the recordings. The gain was at about 2 o’clock. I could have dialed in each tone quite a bit more, but I wanted to perform a neutral test first.

The Blackheart has a 3 watt/5 watt switch so you can get a wider selection of sounds out of it as well.

Here are all the samples:
