Pro Reverb AA165 Blackface Mod Kit

This kit includes all of the electrical components, diagrams & written directions you need to perform a full blackface AA165 conversion on your silverface Fender Pro Reverb amplifier.  This includes the reverb circuit!

The AA165 Pro Reverb is the equivalent (and identical to) the classic AB763 circuit of the blackface Twin, Super, and Deluxe Reverb amplifiers.  

(Tools, solder & wire NOT included)

*Complete, detailed, easy to follow instructions with “before & after” diagrams are included.

*Copies of the original blackface Fender Pro Reverb AA165 schematic & layout diagram for your amp are included!  These are invaluable tools for reference & learning about your amp!

*Complete instructions for removing the master volume & push/pull gain boost are included.

*Only the highest quality Nichicon electrolytic capacitors are included in this kit.

*Only the highest quality carbon comp resistors are used in the signal path.  Flameproof 1W metal oxide resistors are used for the high voltage applications in the power supply & bias supply.

*Instructions for reading color codes on resistors included.

The tolerance normally associated with resistors makes it almost impossible to find matched sets unless you have hundreds & hundreds to choose from, & the time to sort through them all.

We have taken readings on literally thousands of resistors and spent countless hours putting these matched sets together. Why?  Because matched sets sound and perform better than unmatched!  Most kits on the market today do not take the time to provide this important service.

As a bonus, the necessary resistors & detailed instructions on how to properly set the bias of your newly blackfaced amp (using only a multimeter & calculator) are included.

 

Please note:  These kits are designed for the “standard” Fender silverface amplifiers.  If your amp is “ultralinear”, these kits are not intended for your amp.  You can tell if your amp is ultralinear by looking under the speaker jack on the back panel.  ALL 70 watt & 135 watt models are ultralinear!!
