Depends on how the mod was done.

If it was done properly, the extra sound will work fine.
If not, there will be no extra sound (but fortunately you can correct the mod).

If you see a pseudo stereo output, then you can be sure that the extra sound won't work.

yellow goes to video, white goes to sou ,and another wire goes from i think it says vcc it is up from the sou and to the right of the video if this helps

how do i post a pic

mod edit: don't double post

It's very probable that you won't get any extra sound with that setup. Fortunately it's just a matter of taking the wire that's soldered to the SOU pin and soldering it to pin 3 (counting from left and looking towards RF modulator) where the wires leave the motherboard and enter the RF modulator box. That will fix the extra sound issue

can i remove the av mod

[133MHz]

Yes, just make sure your RF modulator works before removing it, otherwise you'll end up with nothing at all.
My FC's RF modulator was butchered by the previous owner who did the AV mod (presumably to make some space for the mod), I had to buy some electronic parts to bring it back to life.

just tried it on chanel 96 and 95 and didnt get a good picture on ether of them that was with a rf to f type conection i use 4 atari, coleco and intellivision  should i try a nes rf ? the rf to f seems to give me a better pic on my nes i dont think it will help

The RF to F connection is the best in signal quality.
Either your TV is having trouble picking up the signal or the RF modulator is out of tuning (due to somebody messing with it).

Better stick to fixing the AV mod, the quality is much, much better and you won't have to put up with that RF BS.

i dont trust my sodering skill may be i should just buy a new one oh poop! do you have any pictures  of were it needs to be resoldered? or info on who i can send this to have this mod fixed ?

My Famicom has a different motherboard than yours.
If you can provide pictures of your Famicom's motherboard, I can show you where.

My Famicom has the A/V Mod (with extra sound) and the RF modulator still works...I guess that guy at the one site (/vague) knows what he's doing

[jimhmphry]

dose this mean i wont get extra adio from my new disk system

works great !!! both games have so much more sound depth, it always seemed as if the sound they had before was out of place but now it all comes together!  the extra sound  was the reason i wanted to get into famicom collecting and this makes it all worth it.133 how can i repay you for all your help? are you in to any other  hobbies or in to other old platforms maybe i can help with spare parts  i collect many diff platforms.   thank you !!!!!!           by the way ive been letting the opening music from galaxy odyssey loop for over a half hour just cant beleve the diff almost early snes quality.
