Description
If your tremolo sounds weak, we have come up with a mod to improve the tone and make it stronger too. Stock, they lose some volume and tone when ON. We have tweaked it to sound just like the tremolo in my '66 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. This mod changes out many of the cheap components and replaces them with better sounding components too, like our SILVER mod.
