Bogner Mods, high gain?

[Metalmike117]

Good morning/afternoon,

I have a slight situation, that I would like some input on from my extended GP family. I used to play in a metal band for 5 years however, my roots are in Zeppelin AC/DC and Clapton and fusion. SOOO, I have an opportunity to play in another Metal band. The band needs a 2nd player. However they use a 7 string. The riffs are killer and I could really get crazy with the lead work, and I think it could be fun. So now to the gear question....

I have a Shiva 6l6 combo. I sold my Recto Head a few months back. So if I audition and join up, I need to figure the amp situation out. There are mods available for the Shiva to bring it up to the Ubershall level of gain. Should I do that or find me another Recto? The mod is extremely easy to do and I can reverse it very easily. HELP.

-Mike

And I need a frikken 7 string.
