Fender Deluxe Reverb II Full Retube Kits. Regardless of your style and application we have you covered!
All of our Fender Deluxe Reverb II full Retube Kits are designed specifically for these amps. Every kit is configured to provide a specific sound/experience.
The Default power tubes for these kits use the Special Double Mica version of JJ’s 6V6S-DM. The Double Mica modification has no effect on the sonics of the tube, it simply helps to reinforce the internal assembly to minimize the chance of tube rattle.
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 pair of JJ 6V6S-DM’s, four Standard ECC83S’s for V1, V2, V4 and V5. One Standard JJ ECC81 for V3, and one current Balanced JJ ECC83S for the phase inverter in V6, farthest from the input jacks.
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 pair of JJ 6V6S-DM’s, four Standard Gold Pin ECC83S’s for V1, V2, V4 and V5. One Standard Gold Pin JJ ECC81 for V3, and one current Balanced Gold Pin JJ ECC83S for the phase inverter in V6, farthest from the input jacks.
Bias Info: These amps are fixed biased, there is no bias adjustment to be made. The amount of clean headroom you’ll get from the power section is somewhat dictated by the grade of power tube used. A cooler grade of 6V6S-DM’s will give you more clean headroom, whereas a warmer grade will give you earlier breakup. If you order online, leave us a note in the comments section letting us know your headroom preference (max headroom, middle of the road or early breakup).
