Deluxe Reverb Reissue for Ian. Checked Over and replaced electrolytic caps(leaking and bulging), retubed with Tubestore Preferred series 7025’s, 6V6 and a Sovtek 5AR4. Performed my circuit modification to this amp whereas it is warmer and less shrill and has a little depth to the cleans and modifications to the tremolo circuit to quieten it down. I broke in the speaker at the same time and it came out fantastic! Thank you Ian!

I will have an exciting video coming soon for the Jose modified 1959 amps I did! Stay tuned for the updates and hopefully everyone is doing great.

The first one was delivered and the owner loved it…. Just waiting for the video with some good guitar playing!

Thanks for the support

AC15HW1 from Jim. Dissipation on the EL84’s were quite high (120%) and it went through a pair of valves rather quickly. Just BECAUSE it is cathode biased, it still HAS to be checked as the valve should be set for 12w output.. you CAN go higher… but tube life is extremely compromised!! Had it in a few years ago for some upgrades and at the time increased the screen resistors to 1k from 100R however, the bias was too high and checked and a new set of Preferred Series EL84 were installed! Set for 98% dissipation now and hopefully tubes will last. What a fantastic sounding amp! Thanks so much!

Video of 1) 1959 plexi bright channel and 2) 1959 with extra stage (similar to a Jose). Really happy with how it came out. For some reason videos now cannot be inserted into existing posts on IG. Therefore hence the need for a second post…. Recorded with master very low, first 15s plexi, 16s and beyond the extra stage. Used a SM57 & sennheiser 609. With iRig into iOS.

Enjoy! Really nice mod and gives a “hair more” to the 1959 vibe and does not overcompress/oversaturate the great tone and dynamics.

Thanks and have a great day everyone! Dan & Angus

Marshall 1959 SuperLead. Picked this up off the original owner (2011 reissue) which had 45 minutes playtime on it. (They are blisteringly loud). Modified it with a gain stage pre v1 and ganged channels 1/2 (similar to Jose) and installed a master volume. Came out lovely and sounds fantastic. It isn’t “cascaded” per se but the extra stage is a real nice add on to the existing great tone from these amps…. It’s very tasteful and will not squeal and it very subtle and quiet! This amp came out fantastic! Have a great day everyone. Dan & Angus.

Nice early 70’s “YBA-1” Bass Master from . I re capped this years ago however he wanted a MV installed…. Nice clean and quick job! Came out great and the MV really helps with volume on this amp! This is one of the best YBA’s I’ve ever heard. Sounds fantastic 👌. Thank you Rob!

Louis Electric Columbia Reverb Amp. Customer wanted 6L6 switched to 6V6 for volume control. Interesting amp…. 18w, 4K secondary for 6L6 and 8k for 6v6. Features a damping control for reverb dwell on a switch. Nice little sounding amp Mike! Thanks for the business and an enjoyable Saturday afternoon 🤘.

1995 5F6A Bassman reissue complete with blue frame Alnico speakers….. Belongs to Chris…. Came in for its first service 🤣. Replaced the electrolytic caps and replaced all the tubes…. Checked it out and cleaned pots and made sure everything was up to s***f. Nice sounding amp and nice little job…. Tight chassis for a PCB but hey…. “We can do that”. I put Tubestore 6L6wgb in it…. Very very nice tube type and sound awesome 👌. Thank you Chris for the nice little job 👊 Dan & Angus
