|
We are proud to offer this service to upgrade your current amp to one of our newer models.
The process uses your current amp as the starting point and depending on the upgrade path chosen various internal and externals parts will be changed in order to bring it the the exact spec. of the new amp. This may include new faceplate(s), transformers, circuit boards, tubes etc etc.
The prices shown below include all the parts and labor for the upgrade. This includes new tubes as needed and new footswitch as needed but does not include shipping.
In order to keep your time without your amp to a minimum, we would ask that you email us so we can schedule it in around our builds so we can complete the upgrade within 2 weeks.
Pleae note the following models are unable to be upgraded: JB-100, OD-100, Revo-45 & 'lil Tweenie. There are also a number of restrictions of what amp can be upgraded to what. If it isn't on the list below, we are unable to carry it out or it is simply not financially viable.
**New** AutobiasMon Upgrades - Automatic Biasing solution that ensures your amplifier is always running optimally and allows you to rebias it at any time by the push of a button. It also allows the biasing of different types of tubes by changing an internal DIP switch setting. For an existing amplifier this system is quite an extensive upgrade that requires the changing out of two major boards and a small ancillary transformer and several hours labor.
This system has become the standard system for the Tucana 3 and the new Triptik MK2. It can also be ordered as an option for new Dealer ordered OD2 and OD3 models. If it is ordered up front, its much easier to implement.
All new Tucana 3, SD60 and Triptik 2 models from serial number 160601 come with the AutoBiasMon fitted as stock.
Upgrade Option Price on new OD2 and OD3 models ordered through a Dealer : $150.00.
(Standard these models will not be fitted with the circuit and it must be stressed that Dealers will only be able to specify it when a customer places an order with the option)
Upgrade for existing Tucana 3 and SD60 models: $250.00
Upgrade for existing Triptik MK1, Tucana 2, OD2 and OD3 models $325 (S/N 110101 and later, please call for earlier models)
