Hi, I'm new here. I recently picked up a 1970 K100 with a 2X12 cts cab in gold tuck and roll. I know it's a bass amp, but I like the sound of it with my Les Paul. What I want to know is if there is any kind of mod I could do to create more gain. I don't really like to use pedals other than a wah. I just want to be able to plug right in and get the sound I want. Has anyone ever attempted this?

I was looking for more distortion. Not a lot just a little bit of sizzle that would be useable at any volume level. Like having a master volume and a volume control to adjust the level of gain and the level of volume. My pickups are already about as close as I would want them. This amp is just so loud that its really ear splitting before any distortion comes up.

That's not exactly what I had in mind. I want to be able to adjust the volume for practice at home, to jamming , to playing in a club, but still have that nice distortion. I want it all! When I turn the amp up about halfway, the sound is just what I want. Just starts to break up a bit. Unfortunately, half volume is way to loud for at home and almost too loud for a jam at a buddy's place.
