All the amp smartuns

I've got a vibrolux reverb reissue. I've had it for maybe, 2 years? but the headroom is not very high for a 40 watt amp and it sounds pretty doo doo when it starts to break up (i bought the amp without trying it because the lady cut me a deal.... :( ) and so i've been looking at modding it, mainly the fromel mod kit (http://fromelelectronics.com/modificati ... lux-Reverb) and i'm just wondering how hard is to to do this stuff? what's the chance of me completely fucking this up? i have SOME soldering skill... the end

I build pedals pretty often and I would take it to a pro amp tech :idk:

Yeah, there are some volts pumping through that thing that could potentially hurt you if you aren't careful. Amp tech!
