Be prepared for a major upgrade in your tone!

Mercury's Upgrade Kits were originally developed for Mercury dealers so that they could demonstrate to their customers the value (tone and reliability) of outstanding vs. mediocre transformer design and engineering. They all feature Axiom®-ized power, choke and output transformers. Each kit includes color illustrations and photographic instructions, plus everything you (or your amp tech) need to modify your amp. Foreign voltages are usually available upon request.

Special thanks to amp designer Alan Cyr for his stellar contributions to these projects.
