 General News

• Tone Test -- Texas Flood (intro) -- different output transformer (uboat928s4srv)

• "Ken Sura at Audio Nexus did a great job putting in that new massive Mercury output transformer (FBFVIBV-O), and it sounds great! It looks like it is twice the size of the original Super Reverb-style OT that was in there before. I have to admit that the posts I had read on the Internet were giving me concerns that the improvement would be subtle... it isn't. The new OT really transformed my amp, far more than any tubes or modifications I have tried." -- Robert Smith

• Twinlux Reverb II (TVtubeamps)

• Tweed Champ I (TVtubeamps)

• Mercury Magnetics "Shootout" Comparison -- Marshall Haze 40

• Magnetics components (choke, output transformer, and AC cable), and compares the amps using 3 different electric guitars, as well as an electric violin, under identical channel and tone settings. We hope to therefore provide the MOST accurate demonstration of how these components modify your amp's sound.
