Hi Fender Fans-
My name is Jay. I'm new to the forum, but have been playing guitar and enjoying Fender products since 1978 when I bought a used '72 Tele for $300. it took me 3 months to pay for it on layaway.

My main Fender since 1983 has been a '65 CAR Jazzmaster I bought for $240 at a pawnshop in East Lansing Michigan.

I play in an instro-surf band called Fronkensteen. I have augmented my #1 Jazzmaster with a 2008 AVRI Jazzmaster.

I recently bought a '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb Reissue and am using it as my main gigging amp. I was reading this morning on the web about removing the v1 tube to increase the gain in the Vintage channel. I always use the vintage channel and the idea of adding some more oomph (and maybe headroom) to it appeals to me (we are a trio, but our drummer is a heavy hitter...very loud.).

Anybody done this simple mod? Is it safe? What are the results? Most importantly, does it void the warranty on the amp?

Thanks!

Any link to this mod ?

Removing a 12XX7 in amp is safe .

You can power ON you amp with no tubes it is also safe for the amp , but no sound at the output . :lol:
