Thank you so much for posting this video. My one was so noisy, especially at low volumes. I just thought that's how they are. I tightened everything up and it's now super quiet. I literally can't believe it was that easy. I also can't believe that they leave the factory like that.

When you’ve taken a nut or bolt all the way off/out, always turn them LEFT slightly until you feel a slight click before you start finger tightening them right, the click is them dropping into the thread. It’s a simple way to avoid cross threading things.

This is a must when putting a neck back on a guitar so you don't keep removing wood from the threads.

If I ever buy another brand new amp, I think I'll bring it to you before i ever even power it up! Love what you do. Every decision is logically derived, and fully supportable. It's like you are doing what Fender should have done in the first place.

I have a modern re-issue Jazz Deluxe reverb, the pots are so smooth, they'd get knocked so easily I added a small rubber o-ring, 1 to shim the knob and 2, to create a tactile feel, works a treat!

I wish I had found this video a little sooner, 68 custom deluxe had extra noise and I thought it was just the design faults. Tightening all these pots eliminated 80 to 90% of my noise.

IBM said back in the 50s that the number one problem was connection problems . The song remains the same. Having come up with ampex Holland , Mullard Blackburn , Telefunken , Tungsram , Raytheon . RCA RED bank Bendix Current productions is less than I am happy with . If I would have the price increase over the last 10 years many more would have been bought. I did expect the price rise just not that much .

Ah those push on spade connectors are terrible. I had a furnace that kept shutting off - always at 3AM it seemed. When I would remove the cover to look, it would start running. I figured out it was intermittant connections on these same sorts of spade lug connectors. I went through and tightened them all - one by each - by disconnecting and gently squeezing the pinching curls on them a little tighter and then reconnecting them. I was very surprised to see them in the first Fender reissue amp that I opened up (customer complaint - intermittantly cuts out ;-)). I wonder if these connectors were really tested by the manfacturer over time at the rated current?

@PsionicAudio2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, not very impressed. Poor lead dress, fake molded blue caps. Doesn't sound any better than the standard RI. People will have a kneejerk argument with that. But it's just reality. Find a '70s silver panel in good condition and have a tech ready it for battle. Will be a better bet at the same price point.

One mod that I think is a must for all Fender Reverb amps is having the reverb and tremolo or at least reverb on both channels. Why not? I know personal preference and originality to some owners is a must, but say you are gigging in a small club and there is room for one amp so the lead and the rhythm player or keyboard player can use one amp. Lead in Vibrato and rhythm in Normal. Is there a problem that could happen with two instruments in the same amp? At low to moderate volume levels? The amp was designed with two or more instruments to be played through it? I’d like your view on this subject. Love the channel and Happy Holidaze to all especially Lyle and family! Love from Cold and Snowy NW Colorado. Thanxz
@PsionicAudio2 жыл бұрын
Reverb+Trem in both channels is possible, though the current Fenders that do that (68 Custom series) do it the wrong way, resulting in a high noise floor. You can have two instruments into the same amp, but they would have both have the same amount of reverb and trem in your scenario. Honestly, given that most keyboards have built in effects, or how inexpensive reverb pedals are, I don't see a need to mod Fenders for dual instrument reverb+trem use. Aside from watching keyboard output levels, won't hurt the amp. And thanks!

@@PsionicAudio "You can have two instruments into the same amp ..." -- doesn't the signal get phase-reversed in the reverb return, such that 2 guitars playing in normal and vibrato channels will have phase cancellation? I plugged in the normal channel of an amp a friend was playing and that seemed what was going on, I didn't have a strong, solid sound.

@@dimbulb5549 You can get around that by having very different EQ's on both channels! Then the signal will be strong again.

I just bought a used Deluxe Reverb, clean sounds pretty good but any high gain pedal it sounds super flabby and ice picky... just terrible, the more gain the worse it sounds. Can you help me understand whats malfunctioning? Thanks so much.
@PsionicAudio2 ай бұрын
Bright cap can be harsh with distortion pedals - see if the Normal channel (no bright cap) is better in that regard. I remove the bright cap for most clients. Flabby is most likely you needing to turn down the low end on your pedal, or not have the output level too high. Or both.

Well, I have no way of knowing if your DR is performing correctly. But in general a Deluxe with pedals can do Zeppelin kind of stuff or Gilmour things, but isn’t the right voice for metal or a lot of newer hard rock things.
