Fender SuperReverb Torres Mod

[AllenBradley]

Yes, I too have had poor experiences from this particular "guru". When I was starting to experiment with mods, I bought his book, several articles, and a few kits. The book does have a few good insights, but for the most part I would not recommend it to anyone. (He told me on the phone that the articles I was buying were not in the book - this was a downright lie, and they would not accept returns)!!
The mod kits had poor and even incomplete instructions - and all of them sounded terrible!! They would not offer ANY tech support on the phone, even to fill in the blanks that were missing in the kit instructions!!
BEWARE

I always wondered wtf was up with all the dual pots, paralleled ? I gotta ask Bruce sometime...weird... Maybe Apex had a sale...

I have had to replace quite a few of those crappy dual pots in a *inky design fender. He used a cheap pot and doubled it for noise? reliability ? I always replace them with a CTS or better , they never come back.
The only bright spot is he uses little of no NFB in most. But he over cooks the reverb driver tube .

Never liked any of the Riviera designs, too messy and ugly sounding . I think these guy sit around and draw them up and never actually play test them.

They appear to be Alpha, which is not a bad pot generally, but I still want to know why ?!?!?!?!

ooops old post but
He said it was for reliability
