They are the same chips for the Nashville 112,except you need 5. I got 5 x Burr Brown ones from the US for my NV 112. Came to about £12 with posting. Easy mod to do. Regards Graham

Hi John
As a recent convert to the 130 I find it a great amp. Can you tell me the benefits of the mod?
Regards
Phil

It takes some of the honk out of the mid range, also they a a better quality chip much quiter..I have not fitted mine yet due to spine operation

[Phil Caine]

Thanks John
For a few quid its got to be worth it. Is it an easy job?

Regards
Phil

It's easy to fit, remove the amp from the cab , look for 4 chips on the circuit board. make a note of the little notch on the chips , remove the chips with a small
screwdriver and replace with the new ones matching the notch

Thanks John
I will definitely give it a go.

One thing you have to be careful about is if you do change them you may suffer from very loud speaker popping when you switch on or off. When I had my very first 130 I changed the 4558's for 0PA2604's and I got bad popping. Buggered the speaker. It seems the better quality the chip is the worse the POP.
