Hey Amp Heads

First post here!!

I'm now a seasoned (note I didn't say experienced or expert) guitar modder and although I'm happy with my amps, I'm interested in the Torres kit designed for the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.

Theres the one on the American site (and one they sell through eBay, but only ship to US residents):

"The Fender HotRod Deluxe is a pretty good amp, but it has a problem sounding muddy unless you have the volume or drive control turned all the way up - often this is not the volume you want.

The clean sound also lacks that particular "sparkle" you hear from vintage Fender amps.

So we fixed it!!
This cool kit fixes the problem and keeps some nice brilliance when the volume and drive are turned down".

and this one:

*NEW ITEM* BAR-B-Q BASSMAN £205

Complete rebuild for the Blues Deluxe/Deville and Hot-Rod amps to produce a 'boutique standard' vintage classic: Basically replaces existing PCB and all related components including pots and tube sockets.

Now that sounds sexy.

Now the second one is new so it may not have been tried by any of you folks here, but has anyone tried the first one. Will it fit a UK-powered Hot Rod Deluxe.

Any help, feedback or abuse welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Peter
