Description: Unleash the tone of your Made in Mexico Blues JR with the Supreme Mod Kit from Fromel Electronics! This Mod kit is for the newer Blues Jr's with the cream circuit board. If your amp is Made in Mexico then this is the mod you want. If you have an older Blues Jr that is Made in USA with the Green Circuit board then you should order the other kit I sell specifically for that amp. Instruction set here: https://fromelelectronics.dozuki.com/Guide/Installing+Blues+Jr.+Made+in+Mexico+Mods-+Updated+5-23-23/23?lang=en From the factory, this pint size wonder has alot of potential, but with some select Fromel tweaks this amp can stand toe-to-toe with some of the finest boutique amps on the market. After the mod, the amp boasts clean, sparkling top end, a huge sweep of mids and rich bass response. The smooth, slightly compressed tube breakup stays articulate thanks to improved power filtering and upgraded tone caps. The reverb is also made more lush and rich, with smoother decay. Additionally, the kit upgrades every cap in the circuit with high quality and audio quality electrolytic caps. All the capacitors in this kit were specially chosen for great tone, reliability, and accurate fit in your Blues Jr. Note : We are constantly updating our kits to use the highest quality components around and because of this your kit may not look exactly like the kit in the photo. Please Note: The Supreme Mod kit includes both the "Complete Mod Kit" and "Recap Kit" that we offer and is the ultimate tonal upgrade for your own amplifier! Included in the kit is all the components necessary to to get your amp in top shape and the detailed instructions to make the changes easy. If you have a basic understanding of electronics and soldering skills you can do these mods in a couple of hours. This kit is for the Included in this kit are the following upgrades: Tone Stack - Replace the wimpy caps with high quality ones with corrected values to open up the tone and get rid of that boxy sound. The adjusted values shift the mids up very slightly, the result is an amp that sounds huge and warm, not boxy and thin. Twin Mod - Fix the mids on the amp and get rid of that flabby bottom. This mod enables you to take all the mids out of the tone allowing more flexibility and versatility. This is accomplished with just a short jumper wire but the result is far better control of your tone. Power Stiffening - Doubles the capacitance in the first filter stage, this reduces hum and increases reserve power for solid bass and strong picking, This mod gives the amp the extra torque it needs to push through strong when you are playing hard. Cooler Bias - You are cooking the output tubes in your amp. This mod lets the amp run cooler without sacrificing tone or drilling holes in your PCB. Your tubes should live a long and happy life after this mod. I include a new bias resistor that sets the idle on the tubes to about 8.5w which is right where it should be. Switchcraft Input Jack - Your input jack is soldered directly to the circuit board, apply some tension when the amp is plugged in and you could cause major damage to the circuit board in the amp. This mod gets rid of the wimpy plastic input jack and replaces it with a high quality metal switchcraft jack that is panel mounted and NOT directly soldered to the circuit board. Included is a shoulder washer and isolation washer so the input jack does not ground directly to the chassis and prevents ground loops. Proper Lead Dress - Take a look inside a boutique tube amp and you will see all the wires carefully twisted and placed for greatest reduction in oscillation and noise. The Blues Jr has all the internal wires zip tied together. I give clear instructions on dressing the leads inside the amp for optimal performance, this results in lower noise and less chance for oscillation. Reverb and Tone Mod - for older Blues Jr's. The reverb on older Blues Jr's sounds horrible, this mod changes the reverb to the design of the newer Blues Jr's. If your Blues Jr was made before 2001 the reverb sounds pretty bad. This mod fixes that to produce that lush classic reverb tone that made Fender amps famous. In the oldest Blues Jr's (made before 1996) the tone is dark, the tone mod brightens up and adds more clean headroom to these first versions of the Blues Jr for a great improvement in tone. Electrolytic Cap Upgrade - Replaces all of the power filter and cathode bypass caps with high quality filter and audio quality caps. Older Blues Jr’s that are made in the USA are all getting due to have their filter caps replaced and many of the current Blues Juniors made in Mexico are known to have leaky filter caps. The Fromel kit rectifies these issues. WARNING: Performing these modifications WILL void the warranty on your amplifier. Working on amps can be deadly if you do not take proper precautions.
