1) Why choose a Mojo BF Deluxe Reverb?

Completing a Blackface Deluxe Reverb amp kit is a great winter project. It keeps you at the workbench beside the furnace for about a week - an occasionally frustrating but ultimately rewarding week. My brother, Doug, and I did the research and came up with Mojo as the supplier of choice. Actually Doug did most of the research. He's the musician . . . I'm the wannabe.

Some criteria we used in selecting a vendor were:
1 to replicate vintage equipment, thus the BF Deluxe Reverb
2 quality (or at least the perception of quality)
3 price
4 reputation of vendor

We looked at Ceriatone, Marsh, Metro, Mission, Webber, and others. They sell every conceivable combination of parts, chassis, and cabinet, although the combination of the three was a rare find. Mojo appeared to have the broadest selection of complete packages. I understand Mojo supplies some other vendors with cabinets and possibly chassis and transformers as well.

The tipping point came when Mojo had their Rocktober sale in the fall of 2009. We ordered two Blackface Deluxe Reverb kits. Shipping and "brokerage fees" from North Carolina to Fredericton, New Brunswick was around $375usd. I had them shipped to Calais Maine for $125usd, and drove over to pick them up. Freekin brokerage fees.

Two complete kits - five boxes - 96 pounds.
