Well I am currently having the tubes fitted so I will be jamming again in a few days, Fender OXblood cloth arrived and it is ALMOST the exact colour of the 2 tone amplifier, this amp is going to look great. Expect some pictures and feedback of the sound difference soon! 8)

Well I gotta say that I was a tad disappointed with the new tubes. They amp does sound better but I was exepcting it to break up with more clarity, I am sure the Jensen Mod will help with that.

The amp is now a little louder and with some Tsung Sols it does sound fuller than before. I can turn the volume up a tad more before it goes a little beserk. Mind you that is just trying to play major or minor chords, for solos and power chords there is no problem.

The Tsung Sols do minimize the unwanted breakup harshness that was there before, but I still can't wind this amp up to 12 and say that I am pleased with the sound.

With the new grill cloth and the tubes the amp DOES have allot more sustain than when it was stock, there is actually a noticable difference playing single notes and chords, everything seems to ring out much nicer.

I would say the speaker cloth inproved the sound by 10% and the Tsung Sols tubes improved the sound by 10%, so I think it is safe to assume that the Jensen Mod will improve the sound by another 10%. So overall after I change the speaker over I would have spent HALF the cost of the amp to improve the sound by 30% providing the speaker makes a difference.

The Fender Oxblood looks great though, It is so close to the same colour of the amp you could hardly tell the difference, much improved on the cosmetic side also. Next up Jensen Mod 6 speaker (made in Italy)..........
