WeberVST also has a copper cap module rectifier that needs to be installed inside your amp. You can purchase them to emulate a multitude of rectifiers.

I thought those were only for amps that already had a tube rectifier that you wanted to convert to solid state?
I already have a solid state rectifier, and there's no tube socket for me to plug one of those in.

I'll repeat myself, there are module versions of his rectifier that need to be installed inside the amp. They replace the solid state internal rectifier, no tube socket required.

I was told you guys make a version of the Copper Cap Rectifier that's
designed to work with a solid state rectifier. Is this true?
Yes, it will take the place of the solid state rectifier and give the amp more feel of an amp with a tube rectifier.
The amp in question is a Mesa 2:100 power amp, and I'd like to simulate the
characteristics of the 5U4 rectifier tubes normally used in a Dual
Rectifier.
That would be our WU4GB.

Yikes.. that's quite a layout. You would need to determine if it is full wave or fullwave bridge, and then find the proper wires to disconnect to patch in the copper cap.

Thanks very much,

I sent another email asking if it was possible to wire both rectifiers in the amp, with a swich to choose between the two. Just waiting on an answer.

The mod should be done by a tech. If you made a mistake you could easily take out your power transformer.

Yes it could be done. How easily depends on how the inside of your amp is layed out.
