Upgrade your Fender RI
"I gigged with my RI unit for over 30 years, always sounded great, but those input and output jacks are weak, and board mounted. When it got too annoying, I bought the kit. The components are high quality, and everything you need is there (the RI power transformer requires you make a full wave bridge rectifier. Requires one additional 1N4007 diode). The noise floor is a bit higher, looking into alternative grounding schemes. Totally giggable as is, sounds great!"
