Tube Amp Overhaul Kits.
Everyone has been
asking for an overhaul of their vintage tube amps.
We are developing lots
of complete "overhaul" kits and in-shop packaged jobs for as many of
the popular vintage tube amps as possible.
This is the newest
thing in the tube amp world, and has already been really loved by
everyone who has tried a kit or had an overhaul done.
Plus, THE NEW Torres BEEFED
UP overhaul kits!
Get more punch, more bass response, better highs, improved transient
response, lower noise - overall - killer performance from the Torres
"Beefed up overhaul mods"
The "Beefed up" overhaul includes all the parts for overhauling the
amp, all the caps, resistors from the normal kit AND important power
supply parts are replaced with a redesigned supply including lots of
great high tech that will give the amp much more punch, no "ghost
notes", much better bass response and highly improved transient
response and high end response - more chime, most bottom, more mids,
more of everything!!
Overhauls and kits are in three
levels so
you can pick how much you want to do.
Kit #1 includes all new resistors and capacitors for the circuit board,
and all the filter capacitors (except on the champs).
All the parts to
replace everything on the amp's circuit board. We use the best carbon
composition resistors and Mallory 150 series tubular
capacitors
for the audio signal.
Vibratos are rebuilt
with select metal film capacitors for increased stability and tone.
Each kit includes a
copy of the Pre CBS or CBS era circuit board layout and a schematic of
the amp, plus instructions for doing a good job on your overhaul.
Kit
#2 includes all of Kit #1 (resistors and capacitors for
the circuit board) plus all the control pots (potentiometers) the
jacks, on-off switches, and all new tube sockets for the whole amp.
Pretty much a full overhaul of everything that can wear out. The
special can cap is included in kit #2 for the Champs and the Princeton
reverb
Kit #3
takes you all the way
with all of kits #1 and #2 (resistors, capacitors, filter caps, pots,
switches, jacks, tube sockets) and includes a fresh set of select tubes
- with matched power tubes and high quality preamp and rectifier tubes.
Kit #3 also includes a
new reverb spring unit (if the amp has reverb) and new reverb cables.
The whole thing!
Check out the latest
kits. New ones added all the time. Your amp will come up next!!
These kits require a
bit of experience. You will be working from the original Fender layout
drawing for the amp. Parts are replaced with exact replacements and
instructions are included. You will be soldering to assemble all the
parts.
Kits are not repair kits.
They are an overhaul of the stock amplifier
circuit.
If a kit listed two amplifiers it does not include ALL parts for both.
Many, many Fender amp versions vary by only a couple of resistors or
capacitors - these kits have these few extra parts to overhaul the
slightly different versions of the amp. Usually 3 or 4 parts.
