I have Vegas 400 which I modified with the Lemay mod.While the input section does sound better,the reverb is now real hissy sounding at all volume levels.Maybe this is due to the increased gain in the circuit? All I know is that the reverb used to be dead quiet before I modded it.Al Brisco even sent me a replacement chip for the reverb which made it a bit quieter.Anybody have any knowledge to share.

I just installed the mods in (4) NV400s and (2) Session 500s and there was no hiss or degradation to the reverb. Maybe your plastic connectors are not clean or loose. Of course the Vegas may be diffent, but I would check the connections on the reverb wires. Try wiggling the wire at the connection and see if you hear any change.

I have just installed the mods in 2 session 500's and they are clean as a whistle.Makes Ole Blue sound like a new guitar.

Dumb question, but on the Vegas is the mod for both channels or just the first?
