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 our custom made Torres 418P Series Orange Drop capacitors for the audio signal, the best tone caps there are. 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 to the original circuit board. New Torres Custom Eyelet circuit boards are available for some amps, but not all - ranging from $28.00 up. 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.
