No, it's not. If you're talking about an original Jose mod it's an extra tube gain stage in front of the bright channel of a 1959 with a switchable master pre or post ton stack, sometimes with diode clipping on the master.
There are also tons of variations by different modders with pre tone stack masters with diode clipping, sometimes with or without an extra gain stage and various other mods to the usual Marshall gain stages.
Are there lots of possible options to how the extra tube gain stage is added in front of the bright channel? Like some related parts values? It just seems hard to reconcile such a conceptually simple mod description to the vast number of Jose "style" mods out there. And I'm not talking about together with all the other mods, but just what various builders advertise as their basic Jose mod.

Its kinda funny if you think about it, because that is basically a JCM800, lol.
I guess the main difference with that basic change is the lack of the treble peakers.

Yeah, there are some other differences as you mentioned, I was just thinking that was the whole history of the one-wire mod, then the birth of the 2303 type circuits. Add a gain stage into the Plexi, make a few other small changes, and thats it.You're forgetting the cold clipper, plate voltage / B+, and the ability to mix in the normal channel... but I guess I left that optional push/pull to blend the channels out of my feature list. They definitely sound different.
