Using SN/AG solder in a Fender Twin

[bmi]

I have to restore a Fender Twin and was thinking to redo all the solders with SN/AG.
When used on cable it adds treble and clarity i'm wondering what it does on an amp, if it doesn't bork the sound of the Twin because guitar amp is not HiFi gear.
As someone here already test it?

Gee, I always thought that the mechanical contact between the wire/lead and lug/terminal was the critical joint and only held secure by the solder.

In what way can it affect the treble?

I'm talking about guitar's cable so jack.
A solder as every conductor act as a filter with his own property.

Try it. I don't think you'll find nearly as much difference as you expect.

See, with the mojo stuff, and this is mojo stuff, you really have to work it out for yourself with your own gear and ears. Most of us are too busy trying to keep this stuff working at all and not sucking too bad to worry about the solder.

There were great old Fenders made with stranded wire and with solid. That's a bigger difference than your solder.

Unless something's changed in the last year or so I'm not aware of (been doing my best to ignore the RoHS/lead-free fiasco), it is generally considered bad practice to mix lead-free and leaded processes. The lead contaminates the lead-free bond and makes for a weak connection. If you're talking about leaded solder that has a tiny silver content, that's different.

I got a roll of fancy silver solder.
I didn't like using it much. It seems like it requires more heat to get it flowing vs the regular stuff.

I talk about SN/AG solder so solder with a tiny silver content.

Sure, so does every bend in a trace or run of wire. At a high enough frequency this might be an issue.
