Vintage Vibe Wurlitzer Amplifier

Our most innovative Wurlitzer amplifier yet! No need to delineate between 200 and 200A models anymore! Our state of the art amplifier works outstandingly well with all 200 models. It was built around a super transparent sound engine and unrivaled EQ curve that offers the sweetest tone heard on any Wurlitzer amp. Installation couldn't be easier and we developed quite a bit of proprietary technology to bring you some amazing features.

Features:

• Tremolo Speed Potentiometer: push-button switching between fully variable rate control and classic Wurlitzer rate mode.
• Tremolo Depth Potentiometer: fully variable control over the amount of effect
• Speaker Cut Switch (on pcb): mutes the speaker and headphone output signal.
• FX Loop (optional): hear effects through the onboard speakers and Aux Output
• Stereo Headphone Jack: hear the amplifier’s mono output in both ears
• Aux Output Jack: send a clean signal out to an amplifier, FOH, mixing console, etc.
• Level Adjust Trimmer: sets the level feed to both the main and aux amplifier circuits
• Aux Output Trimmer: sets the level available at the Aux Output Jack
• Screw-Down Terminals and complete wiring kit: allow for easy installation

Note
• Please review the What Models are Compatible tab before purchasing to ensure you are selecting the right kit for your Wurlitzer.

Note
• An RCA cable is required to interface the reedbar with the amplifier. 200 Models will have a cable stock. 200A Models will have had a PCB mounted to the harp.

Note:
• Please be sure to check that the options you've selected are correct. Selecting No Option will remove that option from your parts list. Don't forget to double check the items in your cart are correct before checking out.

Reed Bar Shields
If reed bar shields are not yet installed on your piano we strongly recommend that you do so.  These greatly reduce the amount of hum found in model 200 pianos.  Installing hum shields along with your new amplifier will give you the best possible sound with the least amount of noise possible.
Note: all 200A series pianos already have these shields installed.

Please review the installation manual PDF before making your purchase.

Fantastic product from a wonderful company!

I can understand and sympathize with original amp enthusiasts but if you aren’t buying this out of fear of losing that authentic Wurlitzer sound, don’t! My piano has all of the charm and growl it used to but is now dead silent, has more volume - even the high octaves that used to be very quiet are much louder and I haven’t even adjusted the voicing or action yet. You guys knocked it out of the park again with this one, expect more orders in the near future!

My wurlitzer lives again!

I'm beyond happy with this kit from vintage vibe. I have a wurlitzer 214 with the console still attached that had been working for years without issue. Then one day it just completely died. The fuses were fine, just no sound of any kind. I bought and installed this amp board and performed all of the various mods (twisting the transformer wires, etc.) and my wurlitzer is working and sounds better than ever. There is no hum whatsoever and the tone sounds clearer to me, especially the bass notes. Even though the documentation says there is no support for the console models, I'm using the console speakers without any issues. I would buy this kit again and would recommend it to anyone else with amp board woes.

The VV Wurlitzer preamp sounds glorious.
Incredibly sharp, clean and easy to handle
I have recently installed on the back of my Wurlitzer 106 an extra chip for the fx loop (with the precious help of Fred DiLeone), which makes pedals way more manageable and resolves any hot signal related problems.

A big upgrade to my 200

I'd repaired and rebuilt the original amp on my 200, but it was still just as noisy and cranky as ever. The VV amp is great - relatively easy to install, very well behaved, sounds great.

There's a bit of hassle installing the FX loop jack, because there wasn't a hole there originally, but not super difficult.

EP200A with RCA cable.

Absolutely brilliant. To have an instrument for probably twenty five years and never knowing what weird sounds it was going to make when you really needed it to now being ultra reliable, quiet and versatile too just makes me want to play it all the time. Instructions were easy to follow and well thought out so nothing to report other than it worked first time, the adjustable vibrato is so simple but a genius idea in terms of use and keeping the visuals stock looking. At first changeover I'd say the new amp was slightly mellower through the internal speakers than before (mine was quite aggressive sounding) but really not a bad thing, just sounds way more balanced and usable. Through an external amp is just phenomenal, no noise, just complete warmth and bark when you need it. I love it. Congratulations!
