Michael Evans (name changed), a guitarist from Oxford, came to Computer Assistance with a problem: his Fender Twin Reverb amplifier was producing a loud hum and cutting out mid-performance. This 1960s classic deserved better, and our team at 154 Oxford Road, Cowley, Oxford, was ready to help.
We opened the Twin Reverb and found the issue—aging capacitors in the preamp stage were leaking, causing noise and power instability. Capacitors in Fender amps are notorious for failing after decades, disrupting the clean tone they’re known for. Our repair process involved soldering techniques to desolder the old capacitors, taking care to preserve the amp’s vintage wiring. We replaced them with high-grade electrolytic capacitors, ensuring they matched the original specs for that iconic Fender sound.
After soldering the new components, we tested the amp with a signal generator to confirm the hum was gone. Michael plugged in his Stratocaster, and the Twin Reverb sang with its signature glassy tone—no more interruptions.
