Hand-Wiring Services
Hand-Wiring Service for Reissue Fenders and Marshall Amplifiers
Fender and Marshall have re-issued many of their classic designs, but these reissue amps come stock with a printed circuit board, which tends to compromise tone, reliability, and makes servicing them difficult.
Alessandro offers a hand-wired service for most of these models. The amp is gutted and the printed circuit board is replaced with hand-wiring. The low-grade components are replaced with Alessandro audio grade components, designed to enhance the amp’s tone and functionality.
Here is what our Hand-Wired Service involves:
- Removing the printed circuit board, pots, and jacks
- A custom board and hand-wired circuit, following the original vintage specifications
- All new pots and components are used in the re-build
- The factory transformers, chassis, and certain other components are re-utilized
The new circuit board utilized in these rebuilds is a custom, proprietary Alessandro epoxy/glass laminate military specification board. Components include:
- Wired using audio-grade solder
- Custom Alessandro high-end coupling capacitors
- Alessandro’s proprietary high-end bypass capacitors (made in Germany)
- Silver mica caps in the audio path
- CTS pots
- PTFE/Teflon-coated silver-plated wire (as used in Alessandro high-end amps)
- Switchcraft input jacks
- Carbon resistors in audio path for proper tone
- Film resistors in power supply for quiet, reliable operation
- Component upgrades, speakers and vintage tubes are available options
We currently offer this service for the following:
- Fender Reissue Princeton Reverb
- Fender Reissue Deluxe Reverb
