Stock, Upgraded & Modded amps from the 90’s and onwards
Ready to rock out…
Stock, Upgraded or T&T modified, all amps come with our rock-solid guarentees and support.
The Vox AC15 is currently one of the top selling amps in the world & for good reason. Stock, it comes in a hefty plywood cabinet, a Celestion Greenback speaker & internally a quality double sided PCB.
So, as well as the usual T&T rebuild and component upgrades, we took inspiration from Lyall Cadwell (‘Psionic‘ audio channel on YouTube) and implemented some of the ‘Psionic’ mods, including changing the power filtering to the Vintage style for better playing dynamics & adding the ability to switch between the Vintage & Modern tonestack via a push-pull ‘Top-Boost’ volume control.
One major feature we felt was missing from the AC15 was being able to easily jumper the ‘Normal’ & the ‘Top Boost’ channels together, so we’ve added channel jumping via a push-pull ‘Normal’ channel volume control*.
Finally we added a little bit of bling with some custom made gold metal vents to replace stock plastic/black ones.
*Footswitchable control in development. Once it’s ready we’ll happily retro-fit this for no extra cost.
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.
In Recovery…
We’re currently working on the amps below. If any of them catch your eye, then let us know. We’re always happy to discuss what we’re doing & include any requests.
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!!!!
The Marshall DSL40CR is rapidly becoming the all-round combo amp for bedroom rockers to gig-playing guitar slingers!
Currently being nursed back from ill-health, this one is being upgraded to primo condition with new Nichicon power filter capacitors, Vishay and Wima components in the signal path.
Rolling In…
