This is more than just an amp tech video this is a work of art and a labor of love it shows in the work you do man 👍

Although I learn a lot from hearing you explain things and your voice is very calming, the background music is atmospheric and really cool, a nice change up

I love the background music. Well done, my friend.

Thanks for making "quick" work on my amp. Sounds great,can't wait. Liked the change in presentation. Liked the music too, although "Yakety Sax" would have been fun for about 5 minutes.

I slowed down YT 50%; I like details. Guessing you resoldered controls with Pb solder and replaced the tone stack with higher quality poly caps. I used 630v WIMA PPF on the boards. Very clean, more like a Super Reverb now. Cool mods Lyle!!👍🏼

Cool and fun! Loved it…

cool video bud. i like the style.

So cool to hear this song mate! Being an Aussie, it brings a tear to my eye to hear you play it after all you've done to this amp!

Excellent work Lyle, I had to slow down the video to catch up with some of your soldering tips..Ed..uk..😀

I was hoping for a verbal recap of what you did. I have that amp and would like to know more about the mods.

Sweet tune there. Made want to pick up the guitar.

More Fender junk. Really sad , but glad to see their are good techs like you that can turn them into what they should have been in the first place. 👍

Was that Crowded house at the end there? Much love and respect from Australia 👍

Wow that music was scary …. Reminds me of the one and only time i took LSD

Great synopsis of the mods you do to these mate. And the background music was fine. Off topic slightly I know but what brand solder sucker do you use? I cant seem to get one that lasts more than a week or two!👍

Reminds me, in an obscure way, of 2001, A Space Odyssey.

LOL! The sped up video and the backwards music made me think, "Hmmm, the wife must have put the wrong mushrooms into the spaghetti sauce . . ."

Lyle, here's a totally unrelated question: I'm working on a weird little push-pull EL84 amp with a 6CA4/EZ81 rectifier that has a very poor grounding and lead dress scheme. The 6 volt winding that powers the preamp and power amp sections also powers the recto tube, and just one side or leg of the heater string is chassis grounded, because the winding doesn't have a centertap. Is it okay to use a pair of resistors as an artificial centertap *when the rectifier shares the same heater circuit as the other tubes*, and can the entire heater-circuit be biased-up (taking the cathode voltage off of the EL84's) instead of grounding the artificial centertap? Interestingly, I have been looking at some old schematics for low-power EL84 amps, Vox AC10 and the like, and freguently they don't bother to show a ground reference for the filament wiring ...... but there isn't any scenario I'm aware of where you can actually go without one, otherwise you get lots of buzz and hum. Years ago I worked on a vintage 4×10 Bassman and I turned it on one morning just to give it a final check before shipping it out, and right at that point the center tap for the filament winding just let go internally, and the amp buzzed horribly until I determined what had happened and added an artificial center-tap. (That was a weird "transitional" amp, by the way; the circuit was only a couple parts different from the short lived Bassman that supposedly used a type 83 Mercury vapor rectifier, except that it had a factory-installed octal socket and a 5U4. I drew up a schematic for it at the time, it's around here somewhere....🤔)

Insider secret: He actually did it in 13m & 56s.

Which ceramic caps do you recommend for black panel Fender style amps (treble controls, bright caps, PI coupling, and trem oscillator caps)?

Slick as snot on a door knob, I miss the excellent commentary from the tech.

Hey now! Heyyy now! These aren't bad aaaammpps. Hey now! Heyyy now! With a few tweaks and mods.....

@psionicaudio Man, how i wish I knew how to do this myself. Just bought a Fender 68 custom twin reverb that I love, but the hiss and hum is such a let down. Plus I don't know a tech that would do this....would it be expensive to have someone do this? I would be happy with just removing the reverb/vibrato from both channels and increasing the negative feedback to solve the hiss and hum

Curious what brand shielded wire you used?

How much do you charge for that complete overhaul and is it worth such a big expense for the average gigging guitarist ??? Totally overkill for the whole somewhat discutable improvement...

If you release the proper, non-sped-up video we will watch it......

But what were you doing Sir. No idea what components you changed.
