Stock, Upgraded & Modded amps from the 90’s and onwards
Ready to rock out…
Stock, Upgraded or T&T modified. All of our amps come with rock-solid guarentees and support.
In Recovery…
The amps below are in-stock but are either being currently worked on, or waiting to be rebuilt & brought up-to-scratch.
If any of them catch your eye, then let us know. We’re always happy to shuffle the queue & include any requests.
A 1990s build of the 4x10” Fender Hot Rod Deville. The big-brother in the Hot Rod series produces 60 watts of modern Fender tone through a mini-half stack.
With it's fantastic sounding clean channel the HR Deville is known as a great pedal platform & is a standard for backlines all over the world.
The Fender Hot Rod series is also known for some not so strong qualities. A poor choice in filter capacitors and a generally hated overdrive channel.
Luckily the first issue is fixed by the T&T component upgrades. In this case all the power filter capacitors have been replaced with F&Ts, as well as other key signal path capacitors and resistors upgraded to Orange Drops, Jupiter & Vishay.
To fix the second issue we've installed the Bill M/Frommel mods giving the amp a beautiful sounding overdrive. We also went a bit further and added switchable diode clipping on channel 2 via a push-pull pot on the volume control. We've also installed a push-pull pot for the channel 1 volume which, when pulled up, switches in the master volume to channel 1.
Accessories include a Fender foot switch.
Three channels of Marshall Metal Mayhem! Loved by some, dissmissed by a fair few, we feel that the Marshall TSL 601 never really got a fair crack.
Outshone by it’s JCM stablemate, the DSL, & tarnished with the bias issues that all the early 2000 series suffered from, the TSL was replaced by the JVM series for all things high gain.
However, we reckon we can get this baby back into tip-top condition & fix some of the niggles (flubby bass, fizzy highs) with a bit of a rebuild and revoice.
We’ll give it the usual T&T rebuild, so new Nichicon filter caps in the power section, upgrade the components in the signal path, and upgrade all of the high voltage/current resistors/capacitors.
Once we’re done rebuilding we’ll trial a few replacement speakers to replace the stock Celestion Wolverine, and spend some time investigating how we can tighten it’s tone and turn this TSL into a worthy amp for the Metal Gods!!!!
A 1990s build of the 2x12” Fender Hot Rod Deville. The big-brother in the Hot Rod series produces 60 watts of modern Fender tone.
With it's fantastic sounding clean channel the HR Deville is known as a great pedal platform & is a standard for backlines all over the world.
The Fender Hot Rod series is also known for some not so strong qualities. A poor choice in filter capacitors and a generally hated overdrive channel.
Luckily the first issue is fixed by the T&T component upgrades. In this case all the power filter capacitors have been replaced with F&Ts, as well as other key signal path capacitors and resistors upgraded to Orange Drops, Jupiter & Vishay.

We also went a bit further and added switchable diode clipping on channel 2 via a push-pull pot on the volume control. We've also installed a push-pull pot for the channel 1 volume which, when pulled up, switches in the master volume to channel 1.
The 2x12 Deville comes with it's original Eminence speakers, however, we do have a pair of Celestion Silver Series V30 speakers, which we think would be a fantastic upgrade.
Accessories include a Fender foot switch.
LTD edition 2018 Blues Junior III, in a lovely Burgendy Red & complete with Cannabis Rex speaker. Updated by T&T to the latest BJ-IV spec, with a few extras thrown in.
We’ve carried out our usual upgrades, replacing the stock filter capacitors with high quality F&T’s, and signal path capacitors with Orange Drop and Panasonic film caps.
Stock parts which are know to cause issues have been replaced & voicing wise we’ve kept to the latest Blues Junior IV spec, apart from increasing the reservoir capacitor to 100uF for a firmer bass response.
Finally, we modified the Bias circuit so you can switch between original ‘fixed’ and latest ‘cathode’ bias, allowing a choice between higher headroom or more compression/earlier breakup.
All work is covered by T&T’s 3-month guarentees.
Rolling In…
Our latest Modern day acquisitions which are heading in. If one of these beauties wets your whistle, then let us know. We’re always happy to reserve the first look & play for you.
This is our take on one of the top selling amps in the world, the Vox AC15.
A great amp straight out of the box, it comes in a hefty plywood cabinet, a Celestion Greenback speaker & internally a quality double sided PCB.
To improve on this, we took inspiration from Lyall Cadwell (‘Psionic‘ audio channel on YouTube) and implemented some of his ‘Psionic’ mods. These included, changing the power filtering to the vintage AC style to improve playing dynamics & also adding the ability to switch between the vintage & modern tonestack via a push-pull ‘Top-Boost’ volume control.
One major feature we felt is missing from the AC15, is being able to easily jumper the ‘Normal’ & the ‘Top Boost’ channels together, so we’ve added channel jumping via a push-pull volume control on the ‘Normal’ channel *.
As part of the usual T&T rebuild and component upgrade, we upgraded the power filtering capacitors to Nichicon & in the preamp with Panasonic film caps and Nichicon ‘Muse’ bi-polars for the cathode bypass caps. Signal & power resistors we’re also upgraded to 1 watt or greater Vishay metal film.
To minimise the noise floor, wiring has been dresssed & re-routed where needed, shielding added to the back of the cabinet & the wiring from the input to V1 covered with a grounded mesh.
Finally we added a little bit of bling with some custom made gold metal vents to replace stock plastic/black ones & updated the handle & protecter screws to match.
The T&T x Vox AC15 comes with the stock Celestion Greenback, however we did get our hands on a mint condition Vox/Celestion Alnico Blue speaker, which is available to upgrade with.
Other included accessories are a cover and dual footswitch controling the Reverb and Tremolo.
