The Guitologist | 4 years ago
This amp was part of the Fender amplifier series called the "Pawnshop Series". This series included the Ramparte, the Vaporizer, the Greta, and the amp you see here - the EXCELSIOR! It came to me cooking tubes and being generally rude, nasty, and sounding like a WAP. It was like the Cardi B of amplifiers. In this video, we'll troubleshoot and repair what's ailing it, namely some red plating power tubes, then we'll demo it with a PRS and a Stratocaster. Along the way, I'll show you some of the good and bad aspects of this model and we'll perform a couple tiny mods and rebias for early breakup.
