Did You Know? Article. Inquiring minds want to know... be sure to read the article, "When Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" by Sergio Hamernik. Subject: This month Sergio explains how to tell if your transformers are going bad, precautions to take before firing up old amps, and Mercury's free transformer testing service.
Continuation of the Epiphone Valve Jr. D.I.Y. transformer demonstration kit. We take a garden-variety, unexciting, basic tube amp and give it a serious kick in the tonal-butt. Those who have installed the Mercury Mod kit are blown-away by the recording-quality results. This is our first kit intended to demonstrate the value of good vs. bad transformer quality. The Valve Jr. kit features Axiom®-ized power, choke and output transformers. It includes photographic step-by-step instructions, plus everything you need to modify either your Valve Jr. combo or head. Foreign voltages are also available upon request. Special thanks goes out to Alan Cyr for his great work on this project. To order or find out more about the Mercury Mod kit, click here.
