He got his start building amplifiers by using Hoffman Board Kits, whichĪre no longer manufactured by Doug. Mikey says he may offer other circuits in the future and is considering additional performance upgrades for popular Fender amps not currently in the reissue line such as the Blues Jr., Pro Jr., Blues Deluxe, Blues DeVille, Hot Rod Deluxe, Hot Rod DeVille, etc. There's a host of great information about all of the vintage Fender amps, plus, you can find copies of the chassis layouts and schematics.Īlthough Mikey has previously made a variety of different circuit boards, he decided to specialize in rebuilding the Fender reissues, specifically the Blackface and Tweed Bassman amps, and the reissue stand-alone reverb unit.

Often, when I want to find detailed Fender amp information, I go to the Fender Amp Field Guide. Of course, there are variations to the circuit depending on the number and type of power tubes in a particular reissue amp. This means if you have a Blackface Fender reissue amp, chances are the AB763 circuit is used. It is used in a variety of Blackface Fender amps including the Deluxe Reverb, Super Reverb, Vibroverb, Virbrolux, Twin Reverb, etc. The circuit he uses as the starting point for his modifications is (not surprisingly) the one used in Deluxe Reverbs, which is called the AB763. When you talk to Mikey, you’ll soon find out that tweaking an amp to an individual player’s style, their guitar choices and other equipment selections is the key to getting the best sound for the player. These conversations have also helped educate me about component choices and what they will do to the sound.Īs it turns out, Mikey and I have very similar tastes and both like the basic Deluxe Reverb sound. We exchanged lengthy emails with ideas about the rebuild and the conversations helped clarify my understanding of his concepts as well as his understanding of what I like to hear in an amp. Beginning in February, I had long conversations with Mikey about rebuilding my Deluxe Reverb Reissue.
