printed circuit board wired amp and upgrade it with our Alessandro Hand-wired Service
-Remove the inferior printed circuit board, pot and jacks, then build a custom hand-wired point-to-point board
-High quality potentiometers, capacitors and wire are used in our Hand-wired service, more akin to the vintage, black-face Vibrolux Reverb amps. Rebuilt from the ground up, just reusing the transformers, chassis, tube sockets and a few other parts. All to capture the sound and feel of the iconic, vintage amp, in a new, more versatile and more reliable form.
-We will re-use the tubes from your amp, otherwise we’ll contact you about using new replacements for any faulty, worn out or problematic tubes (any tubes that need to be replaced will incur an up charge).
-Custom proprietary Alessandro epoxy/glass laminate, mill spec. board is used to wire the circuit using audio grade silver eutectic solder, select orange drop style caps, Alessandro high-end made in Germany proprietary filter and bypass caps, silver mica caps in audio path, new CTS pots, PTFE/Teflon coated silver plated wire (same as used on Alessandro High-End Products amplifiers) and switchcraft jacks.
-Carbon resistors in audio path for proper tone and film resistors in power supply for quiet, reliable operation.
-Removal of Capacitor Can from the outside of the amp, moving the filter caps inside the chassis on the main board assembly.
-Upgraded Power Transformer (original is undersized for this amp).
-Upgraded speaker lead with high-quality speaker cable (optional)
-Speaker can be upgraded with one of our Eminence Alessandro Designed Speakers at the Customer’s Request (Alnico and Ceramic Options Available)
The circuit on this amp had been modified to be similar to the newer ’68 Custom Vibrolux Reverbs from Fender, the Normal channel is "tweed" (slightly hotter) and also has Tremelo and Reverb. The Vibrato channel is stock Blackface Vibrolux Reverb.
