Gracias Pedro.
La modificación la entiendo y la explica muy bien el vendedor y es la que me gusta porque además incluye un switch para activarla o desactivarla y que el ampli suene como de origen (me refiero al bucle de retroalimentación negativa).
Lo que busco es una alternativa para comprarla en la EU porque entre el cambio de libras a euros, los gastos de aduana y los de transporte sube un 70% de incremento en el precio. Aunque si no encuentro nada la compraré.
Otra alternativa sería conseguir un esquema de la modificación.
Entiendo algo de electrónica básica pero no lo suficiente para hacer yo el desarrollo de la modificación a partir de los esquemas del modelo aa764 del blackface.

Hi and welcome to this listing for my Alnicomagnet "AA764" mod kit for the VHT Special 6 Combo or Head amp.
Here's a brief description of the mod kit:
The stock Special 6 circuit is loosely based on the classic Fender AA764 (mid-sixties Blackface) circuit, (also used in the Champion 600), but biases the preamp tube to sound dirtier. In place of the Blackface Champ’s Bass and Treble controls is a fixed value tonestack network. My mods keep the typical Fender mid-scoop sound, but bring more clarity and less preamp distortion. I also remove the “LO” input jack, and change the control layout to give separate Bass, Treble, and Volume controls as per the original Blackface Champ.
The Blackface Champ had a negative feedback loop. The stock Special 6 does not. The kit includes the components for adding a feedback loop. You can leave the amp permanently with no negative feedback, or configure it permanently with negative feedback. You can, if you prefer, fit a switch to switch between the two states (mini toggle switch included in the kit).
The noisy stock pull-switch volume pot is replaced with a superior low noise item. Included in the kit is a separate mini toggle switch to replace the switch function of the original volume pot. You can also still use the VHT footswitch to switch between “Clean” and “Boost” sounds.
You will probably know that the current stock output valve is a generic Chinese no-name item. It is the same as which is supplied with the Fender Champion 600, which I have had problems with in the past. I therefore highly recommend you change it to a higher quality name brand. My personal favourites are current production Sovtek or Electro-Harmonix.
Please note: when the amp is switched to "boost", the bass and treble controls will have little or no effect. This is because the tone stack is unloaded and partially bypassed.
The kit includes my "Tonestack Capacitor Upgrade Kit" to clean up the sound, and bring more clarity and definition. Separate Bass, Treble, and Volume controls give more control over tone shaping (in clean mode), and the switchable feedback loop when engaged gives a fantastic clean Fender Blackface Champ sound.
You can choose black or white chickenhead knobs. Both colours look good against the black control face. The default choice is black. If you prefer white, tell me during the checkout procedure, or message me when paying through PayPal.
Instructions and pictures are now only supplied on a USB memory stick with the kit components.
You will need a pdf reader to access the instructions. You will need a picture viewer to view the pictures.
