I could watch these all day long. I mean I am watching these all day long. Love your channel!

@@hayeshargrove Don't you love her madly .....

Praise from Uncle Doug on an amp repair video is like a shiny gold star on your homework paper

I love having you here Uncle Doug!

Uncle Doug!!!

Just found your channel, Great work, just subbed. Uncle Doug rules too. Keep the vids coming.

This doesn't mean you can rest on your laurels Uncle Doug!

OK. I did about 100 of them in the 90s. Nice to think most of them may still be working.

Well thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you- I bet you've worked on some really cool equipment. Thanks for the comment :)

​@FazioElectric hi, I hace a one of this and when I push reverb footswitch the noise is coming very hard, what can I do ? Tks

I am electric engineering but I don't know valv amps functioning

Can you help me with a orientations.?

@diegotasende look it up, mr. electric engineering

All hail to Uncle Doug. Brad could learn from this woman, but, he's too busy crying about everyone else's business. No whining here. No trash talk.. Just "This is How and Why"!! Colleen executes the task at hand as if she were one of Uncle Doug's top students.

@@y00h0011 AMEN

Who is uncle Doug?

@@christopherskipp1525 famous tube amp you tuber instructor

He didn't teach her, a guy in Chicago did that she worked for.

@@Blueguitar007 Yeah, they have some different ideas, but Uncle Doug is incredibly knowledgeable and also like this lady, a good explainer .

@@seancurran6727 I didn't say he wasn't ok.. I said she got trained working at a shop in Chicago. She's got a whole video with her mentor.

That’s too funny.

it's called inclusion /inˈklo͞oZHən/

i'm pretty sure accountants even find spreadsheets boring, but then again... i do know an accountant that likes tax time.

+1 for the no annoying music 😊

Mine too! 420!

It looks just like the one in this video.

Thank you so much for the recommendation- I will be looking into that :)

Rasjase1, Ryobi makes a somewhat similar, *hinged* , battery-operated, rechargeable driver/drill screwgun that can be used either straight-on or folded into a pistol-style handle. It's not gyroscopic, but costs less than 30 bucks [edit, it's actually $39.95 at Home Dumpo] if I remember correctly. I haven't tried the DeWalt you mention but we had a gyroscopic Black and Decker driver/ drill at the electronics repair shop I used to work for and I never really cared for it. I prefer a trigger operated driver-drill, but perhaps that's just me, because I've been doing carpentry and construction type work all my life and I have a well-educated trigger-finger!

@@goodun2974 that's sounds cool, especially for the very low price tag. I've tried a few other gyroscopic devices and I understand, a lot of them are pretty unremarkable. This particular 1 however is pretty neat. You can do neat things like take a flat slot screw and fast spin it most of the way in, and then slow it down to snail pace at the end to put the slot orientation exactly like you want it without over tightening or slipping out. Also with delicate things like plastic or aluminum screws or very small ones, you have so much control that it's easy not to mess them up. I've seen them on display at various big box hardware stores, definitely worth checking out. The other big thing is battery life. When I was still working as an electrician I'd use it on a 12 hour shift on literally like hundreds of screws and it would still be around half charged or close to it when I got home.

@@rasjase1 , my larger battery-powered tools are mostly Milwaukee (3 various sized driver drills, a hammer drill, impact driver, mini Sawzall, circular saw,, plunge cutter, and soldering iron), but for disassembling electronics and for small projects around the house I use a small Ryobi pistol-shaped driver drill with 1/4 hex-drive socket and two speeds ---- primarily because it's physically smaller than any of the Milwaukee driver drills. My Ryobi has swappable batteries (the other hinged ones I mentioned earlier have integral batteries). The batteries for the Milwaukee tools are expensive, but awesome!

@@rasjase1 , an update: the Tek4 series of Ryobi tools, including my original fixed-pistol-grip 200/600 RPM driver-drill (with separate, swappable Lithium battery and LED work-illumination) was discontinued (I got mine cheaply nearly a year ago as a closeout). The current-production Ryobi hinged driver-drill ($40 at Home Dumpo) that converts from pistol-grip to a straight handle has a built-in (integral) lithium battery, still two-speed ( 200/600 RPM), but doesn't have the LED'S to illuminate the work area (darn!). However, True Value sells a similar hinged/pistol- grip convertible screwdriver (under their Master Mechanic house brand) with integral lithium battery, fixed 180 RPM speed (adequate for screwing, maybe not as good for drilling), and has not only 4 LED'S to illuminate the work area but an actual LED flashlight built into the butt end of it ---- for the ridiculous price of $25 bucks here on the East Coast! I bought one yesterday but haven't had a chance to put it to work yet.

Needs wheels or a custom Dolly and strap mechanic.

@@TheWickerShireProject i sold it in favor of a Vox AC30 which is a lot lighter

@@leegeddyfan Too funny. Thanks for responding. 1 year later

My thoughts exactly.

Totally agree

high school electronics? that's cool!

@@zhou_sei I graduated from high school 35 years ago. In addition to electronics class I also had to take wood shop, metal shop, and Home Economics. It’s a shame that they don’t teach that stuff in school anymore

As my uncle who worked on electronics would have said “That one has rocked many a barn full of drunks.”

That's a good suggestion, I will give those brushes a try!

@@FazioElectric , I've never seen a wire-bristle brush small enough to fit inside the contacts of a12AX7 socket, and while nylon-bristle brushes plus a solvent will clean out greasy grime and dust, they are too soft to remove tarnish and corrosion effectively. A tip I learned from an old electronics repairman is to use a piece of round-wound guitar string, size .036 to .039, as a sort of miniature round rasp or file (a phosphor bronze string is nice and hard, works particularly well), and work it back and forth inside the socket contacts, then flush with non-residue solvent; and if need be, retension the contacts with a jeweler's screwdriver or dental pick (as you showed here). If you can find a way to adapt a segment of guitar string to fit into the chuck of a miniature rotary tool, like the smallest Dremel-style tool you can obtain, then cleaning sockets becomes very fast and easy. (I use a Tihoo battery-powered artist's eraser, with a modified chuck arrangement, to spin the guitar string. EDIT: I also use battery-powered erasers with a short segment of fiberglass bristle-brush, or a 4 mm silica impregnated eraser rod inserted, for cleaning and polishing tarnished metal contacts and the backs of pots prior to soldering. Anyone who works on electronics really needs a set of " scratch brushes", especially the glass-bristle brush ---- but I advise you to wear gloves!).

Matt, for some reason the local Harbor Freight doesn't carry paintgun tip-cleaning brushes, but one alternative is to buy dental brushes at the drugstore, the type used to clean around bridges and other dental prostheses. Although as I noted below, nylon brushes are too soft to remove decades of tarnish and corrosion.....

Nice tip on tube socket and paint sprayer brushes!

You might like the recent Tone Master deluxe reverb. It's a digital amp so it's real light to carry and it has most of the same features of the original.

@@aniquinstark4347 I saw Phil's McKnight's review. It didn't really inspire me. I'm using a Strauss 15w amp that was modded by a genius amp tech called Warren McAllister. it's sweet and light.
