Thumbs up Apex 460 mod

Dave just finished with the mod for my Apex. After using in my own studio using Langevin, Focusrite and Neve, I had a chance to A/B in the studio with an unmoddified 460.
The modified has a much flatter response, far less grainy sounding on the highs, clearer and sweeter sounding. Fairly large improvement.
It's much cleaner, but still pretty hot. I was singing from 10inches to 5inches out and with acoustic guitar about 14inches out with lots of gain left on the Focusrite pre.
The differences are more apparent on acoustic guitar...very much improved guitar sound.
