Bought me an Fender Excelsior a couple of weeks ago, to play around with.
My thoughts about this amp is to make it sound as good as possible.
It was a pretty good amp as it came, but I also had problem with that high pitch ringing tone.

I made an order at Eurotubes - two 6V6S power tubes with 2 massive damper rings two stop the glass vibrations... (yeah, I know it may be mumbo jumbo... but I had to try) and two new ECC83S preamp tubes (no damper rings, not possible inside the metal tubes).

The ringing was gone and a softer more pleasant tone was heard. Still got the bite, but now it sounds great, this little amp!

Well, do you have to buy new tubes to a new amp? Not really. But this cheap amp that has got the looks and a promising ground tone... wins a LOT if you put in new tubes! I can recommend the JJ tubes they sound GREAT!
