More seriously. I was a member of SS and it blew. Those guys were so opinionated at the time, that anyone who disagreed that Marshalls were THE amp was ousted. Never mind the fact that for my money they haven't made a decent amp since about 1987. I didn't like it. I don't think someone is "wrong" just because they don't care for the Marshall JVM series. I think it was Mike mostly... not to be too much of a dick myself, but that guy was a grade-A A-hole.
Tell me about it.
I thought it might be a good Idea to do the 'green mod' to my russian muff so He googled a circuit diagram and said he'd ban me if I didn't do it within 6 hours
He did ban me in the end. That place sucks major donkey balls
Actually, I didn't just google a circuit diagram for the modification you wanted to do, I found a site which detailed exactly what changes should be made to modify the Big Muff from Black Russian to Green Russian specification, and also contained a description of the modification result in terms of sound. Interestingly you couldn't find this information yourself. Since in the past you had been somewhat floral when describing your talent and ability with the soldering iron, upon your return saying you'd done the mod I thought it might be an idea if yuou
contributed to the site by maybe taking photographs of the modified board so that future users might find it useful, along with your thoughts on the sound difference. Much as it was like getting blood out of a stone to get a blurry phone picture from some distance, it was somewhat piquing that you ask for help and then not further the forum by helping people with the benefit of your experience.
This being the same Big Muff you're currently trying to sell in the classifieds on this site (and didn't detail any modification, or the broken battery clip in the auction) I'm inclined to believe you never made the modification; that or that you're trying to mislead customers. Either is pretty risible in my opinion.
As for the "ban" threats, I think you'll find that might be bandied around as banter a fair amount, at least you would if you'd given yourself time to immerse yourself in the forum before flooding it with aimless posts, and then started dissing it on other forums such as this.
