what may start off as bad soldering will quickly become extraordinary soldering with a few hours of practice. Soldering isn't difficult once you learn the correct methods and have good tools.

Don't be scared , practise on an old , broken radios , TV , etc ! It's more easy cos is not board soldering for what I hawe still no guts ! I will recomend Y to use Silver based soldering wire , (for better and cleaner contact , with less corosion ) plus if Y can find , to be filled with cleaning cemical , inside , or if can't , use a quality paste to put on contacts , soldering iron ,etc , before Y start with contacting parts ( melting down soldering wire ) ! Ask a pro for recomandation , wich power of a soldering pen is gona suite Y ! Enjoy in future projects !

i just finished building this amp 2 weeks ago and let me tell ya this head will blow your mind. And oh my god is it LOUD. I run mine without the rectifer tube and leave the 50 watt switch on the 50 Watt position. My signal chain is an MXR Carbon copy into an MXR gt-od, into a Boss turbo distortion, MXR 6 band eq, and then into a homemade volume attenuator to switch between rhythm volume and lead volume. Jumper the inputs, and tinker until you get the tone you want. You will not be disapointed!

Hey Rob, try using nut drivers instead of pliers or an adjustable wrench to tighten the nuts on the front panel switches and pots. Nut drivers fit the nuts securely, won't slip, and have a smooth surface so they won't scratch. Otherwise, very instructive video! Thanks, Greg.

Hi guys ! Your work looks formidably neat ! On the other hand, I'm building a '59 Fender Bassman model 5F6 and was thinking about doing some modifications (I'm aware that a JTM45 and Fender bassman are quite identical in some aspects): 1- Changing to a solid state rectifier 2- Inserting an effects loop 1- If I do this, should I change some capacitors values in the rectifying section for bigger ones ?? (I mean with more capacity) 2- I've heard that this might be a waste of time in a fender bassman because the difference in tone wouldn't be that noticable... And as a valve state amp, matching the impedances would be quite troublesome and I would have to design some buffer to lower the impedances and back. Anyway, I'm an amateur on this, what would you recommend ? Thanks for your time!

@TubeDepotTV Very true. If I was building the amp I would try and be as true as possible to the original tube compliment. KT66 tubes just have such a unique tone. Many people don't know this but the KT66 was a big part of Jimi Hendrix's sound. More bass than an EL34, more mids than a 6L6. Ton's of headroom, a good example being the Monterey Pop festival songs.

Oh hell yes! Great googalamoogala! This is the one that sounds like God shouting from the mountaintop! Many of us in the over 50 camp think of these as the "Allman Brother" Marshalls, violin-like sustain for days, killer for slide (brother Duane), goes with a Les Paul like beer goes with pizza! Who the hell needs pedals? Only 1 down side, grumpy grouches will be screaming "TURN IT DOWN" constantly.Not recommended for apartment dwellers or small beer joint gigs. A truly awe inspiring amp!

Hello, you are a master of the amps ... first of all this is a translation since I do not know English I am Spanish sorry..I have a question I want to mount a 6n2p and a pcl86 to make a 6w on a vintage radio chassis but I have a doubt about the mass ... gnd .... and the chassis..I do not know whether to make the chassis driver with gnd ... and if that is how I do it ... I connect all the points of mass to a single point ... it can be done in several ... or only the potentiometers and jacks go.

Would it possible to have a demo of the amp. I know that there's one on KZfaq but there's so much effects on it. I'd love to hear it - as the audio sample at the end of your video sound just great - and the difference when you play with the different parameters you added to the JTM45+. Anyway, thanks a lot for all your videos and for sharing your amp knowledge.

Thanx, I'd mainly do guitar maintenance works... ( potentiometers, switch, pickups, groundings). How many watts should the iron station be? 30,40w or higher. A good brand for that ( long lasting) Thanx
@TubeDepotTV
@TubeDepotTV 10 жыл бұрын
for PC board work and general wiring, a 25W iron is excellent. However it may not have sufficient thermal mass for larger soldering jobs. A 40W iron is better for soldering to the back of pots and to terminals but the heat from these irons could potentially damage components and melt insulation. Better to have either one of each iron, specialized for the job at hand, or purchase a temperature controlled soldering station. The single wattage irons run around $30 a piece. A temp. controlled station runs about $100 (well worth the money if you solder regularly).
