Fender Tonemaster Retube Kits

Fender Tonemaster Full Retube Kits. Regardless of your style and application we have you covered!

All of our Tonemaster full Retube Kits are designed specifically for these amps. Every kit is configured to provide a specific sound/experience. The default power tubes are the JJ 6L6GC’s but you can use the drop down to select the JJ 5881’s.

The Tonemaster amps are adjustable bias and all you need to adjust the bias is a bias probe and a multimeter or the Eurotubes “Pro One”. We typically bias these amps between 36 to 44mA with the JJ 6L6GC’s, or 33 to 40mA for 5881’s. The bias pot is located inside the chassis.

The Standard Retube Kit is as close to OEM as possible. Maintaining the amps stock level of headroom and gain while providing a warm but even handed overall sound. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ 6L6GC’s by default, two Standard ECC83S’s for V1, V2, and one current Balanced JJ ECC83S for the phase inverter in V3, closest to the power tubes.

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 elsewhere… If sweet, open, and more refined is what you’re after this kit will do it. The Kit includes one matched quad of the 6L6GC’s by default, two Standard Gold Pin ECC83S’s for V1, V2, and one current Balanced Gold Pin JJ ECC83S for the phase inverter in V3, closest to the power tubes.

The ECC803S Option Retube Kit The JJ ECC803S’s are a little lower in gain than the ECC83S and have a very fat mid and a little hotter high end which gives a very vintage tone with lots of chime. This kit contains a matched quad of the 6L6GC’s by default, two Long Plate Standard JJ ECC803S’s for V1, V2 and one current Balanced JJ ECC83S for V3 closest to the power tubes.

The ECC803S Gold Pin Option Retube Kit a vintage vibe that’s richer and smoother. This kit contains a matched pair of the 6L6GC’s by default, two Long Plate Standard Gold Pin JJ ECC803S’s for V1, V2 and one current Balanced Gold pin JJ ECC83S for V3 closest to the power tubes.
