This month's full page B&W ad:
This month's ad theme features a decidedly frustrated musician taking the only "out" he has left -- the big leap. Alas, this sad, sad situation is repeated all too often. Amp tech unawareness of the basic role transformers play in the tonal and reliability food-chain resulting in "fixes" that leave amps far from their sonic potentials. The ad also discusses what upgrade tranny sets can do for your Fender Deluxe-style and Marshall 50 watt-style amps. Good and informative reading for amp techs, "tinkerers" and, of course, players.
Announcement -- The original Marshall- and Vox-transformer brand Radiospares, is now a registered trademark of Mercury Magnetics. We have long been the source for clones of the original (and hybrid) Radiospares, but now your vintage-style amp transformers will come adorned with the original logo.
Orange Amp Rockerverb 50 Combo Giveway: Our friends at Orange have donated one of their outstanding new Rockerverb 50 Combos (AKA RV50) for our latest giveaway. If you don't already know about it, the Rockerverb 50 series come factory-equipped with custom Mercury transformers. Read about the RV50 and enter the giveaway -- CONTEST ENTRIES ENDED ON MIDNIGHT MARCH 11, 2007!!!! Winner will be announced soon.
Raves of the Month -- We get so many amazing testimonials from Mercury converts and customers that we decided to let them tell their own stories.
This month's 1/4 page color ad:
Mercury Mod -- our Epiphone Valve Jr. do-it-yourself 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 (and quiet-running) results. This is our first kit intended to demonstrate the value of good vs. bad transformer designs. 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 stellar work on this project. To order or find out more about the Mercury Mod kit, click here.
