Fender Showman & Dual Showman Gold Pin Option
Product Details

Looking for a smoother tone? This is our Gold Pin Option Retube Kit for the Fender Blackface and Silverface (non-reverb) Showman & Dual Showman heads. This kit contains three Gold Pin ECC83S's and a balanced Gold Pin ECC81 for the phase inverter in V4. The default power tubes are a matched quad of the JJ 6L6GC’s but you can configure this kit to use the JJ 5881’s by clicking on the "Customize" button.

Tube location info: The Balanced Gold Pin ECC81 is located in V4 closest to the power tubes.


 There were two models of these amps made, the AA864 is fully adjustable bias where the AB165 amps are not fully adjustable, they have a balance circuit where one pair of power tubes is adjustable. With this setup all you can do is match the bias of the adjustable bias sockets, to the fixed sockets. This can be done using a bias probe and a multimeter or one of our "Pro One" bias probes.

All of these are are available in the "Related Products" tab. 

The best solution with these amps is to mod the bias supply to be fully adjustable. Over the years many techs have been doing this by default. If your amp has been modified you can use the Deluxe Reverb bias video for reference. We typically bias these amps between 35 to 40mA with the JJ 6L6GC's or 33 to 40mA for 5881's.
