Full Retube Kits for the Ampeg Heritage B15N Amps
The Ampeg Heritage B15N Retube Kits.
All of our Ampeg Heritage B15N full Retube Kits are designed specifically for these amps. Every kit is configured to provide a specific sound/experience.
The power tubes for all of our Ampeg Heritage B15N kits are the JJ 6L6GC’s.
These are switchable between cathode and adjustable bias amps and all you need to check and adjust the fixed bias side is a bias probe and a Multimeter, or our all-in-one Eurotubes “Pro One” bias probe that reads both the plate current and the plate voltage simultaneously.
The Standard Retube Kit is very close to OEM. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ 6L6GC’s, one JJ GZ34 Rectifier Tube, one Balanced JJ ECC83S for the phase inverter (V3, closest to power tubes), and two Standard JJ ECC83S’s for V1 – V2.
The Gold Pin Retube Kit uses the JJ ECC83S Gold Pin variants to provide a smoother, creamier, and more singing overall sound. This option is less aggressive and has less “teeth” when driven hard. If you like a classic raunchy gritty overdriven tone, we recommend looking to the Standard or High Gain option. If sweet, open, and more refined is what you’re after this kit will do it. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ 6L6GC’s, one JJ GZ34 Rectifier Tube, one Balanced JJ ECC83S Gold Pin for the phase inverter (V3, closest to power tubes), and two Standard JJ Gold Pin ECC83S’s for V1 – V2.
The High Gain Retube Kit uses our hand picked high gain selected JJ ECC83S’s. If you’re looking for maximum crunch and grind this is where you want to be. Sonically this setup is very similar to our Standard Retube Kit but with a little extra gain on tap. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ 6L6GC’s, one JJ GZ34 Rectifier Tube, one Balanced High Gain JJ ECC83S for the phase inverter (V3, closest to power tubes), and two High Gain JJ ECC83S’s for V1 – V2.
The ECC803S V1 Option Retube Kit uses the Long Plate JJ ECC803S in the V1 position. The JJ Long Plate ECC803S has a little lower gain with big thick mids and a little more sparkle in the highs. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ 6L6GC’s, one JJ GZ34 Rectifier Tube, one Balanced JJ ECC83S for the phase inverter (V3, farthest from the input jack), one Standard JJ ECC83S for V2 and one Standard JJ ECC803S for V1 (closest to input jack).
