Congratulations to the 5 WINNERS
of the

The "Mercury Upgrade Kit" Contest

(CONTEST ENDED JUNE 15, 2009)

AARON ASHEAR
of Sheridan, WY

UPGRADE PICK:

Champ "600" Upgrade Kit

 

"I play a Tele, and a high power tweed twin. while I love the combination of this guitar and amp, the sound has always been somewhat 'plinky' on the high strings and the upper octaves didn't have much fatness. Overall, there just wasn't enough chime and grind from the amp, even with the output level set higher.

"After dropping in some these transformers, I have to say that all of my problem spots with the amp have been wiped clean. In addition to fatter highs, the low end is much tighter, and the separation between the strings can really be appreciated. I liken this change to a horn player finding a good quality mouthpiece that works with their instrument. All of a sudden, the same techniques I've been working on finally transmit. I can float from one register to the next without a big contrast in tone quality.

"Here's one more satisfied customer who fully believes that good iron makes a difference."

ROBERT VOLENEC
of Elkhorn, NE

UPGRADE PICK:

Orange "Tiny Terror" to
"Holy Terror" Upgrade Kit

"I loved the line in your brochure about 'buying an amp' to modify. Before we did my Valve Jr. I would have said 'No way!' But as I get older and half stacks become a thing of the past for me, I am really loving the resurgence of the 'small' amp. The only criteria I have when amp shopping now is that you guys make a kit for it!' Sadly, it's kind of a catch-22 once you have a Mercury modified amp there really is no point in amp shopping!!"
