Fender Amplifiers have a huge musical legacy that dates from the very beginning of modern popular music. Fender amplifies have a clean tonal character which is not matched by another manufacture in the world. Our Fender full revalve kits are put together after a life time of using and comparing the performance of valves in these amplifiers. The kits offer the best options drawn from original new old stock USA made valves and their modern counterparts. They are designed and put together to provide improved sonic and tonal definition with more clarity out of these legendary amplifiers. Each preamp kit is specially selected for low noise, uniform gain and tonal characteristic. All output valves have been burst tested and matched on anode current and gain.
This combination of valves provides major improvements in terms of a crystal clear top end with more extension and clarity when used clean. Unlike the rash and unmusical fuzz which is a characteristic of the many 6V6GT in this amplifier. When pushing this amplifier into overdrive the valves combined characteristics provide a warm clear sound with excellent sustain with plenty of upper harmonics
The Harma ECC83 STR is used in our Fender kits as is the best choice for the sparkling clean sounds that most players want from their Fender amplifiers. The mid-range is very transparent which when changing pickup selection give a nice tonal variation which is lost in some other 6V6GT valves. The valve responds very well to pedals and crunches up without that harsh fuzzy tone.
A Philips NOS U.S.A made 6V6GT is used in the output stage as it produces a warm clear sound and very open sound with a smooth clear distortion. The Philips 6V6GT is used as no other 6V6GT supplies that sparkling clean sound and top end chime as well as this valve. That is why this valve is considered the bench mark when it comes to Fender style clarity. It simply out classes the modern made 6V6GT without exception.
The upgrade kit consists of
1 Specially selected Harma ECC83 STR
1 Selected Philips 6V6GT
Please note that this upgrade kit is for the valves only
