Blues Jr Common Faults
An overview of the most common faults that appear with Blues Jr. amps.
There are many good videos already covering this on TH-cam and this is not a how-to. Don’t copy me, I’m just some guy on the internet.
This one’s more for the purpose of offering some insight into the repair process for my clients and to save me some time with future similar repairs.
Nevertheless, enjoy.
I’ve done my best to explain this plainly, however feel free to ask any questions if needed.

First attempt at making a longer video, with edits. Plenty of misspeaking and omissions, but onwards and upwards from here as time allows.

I misspoke towards the beginning, said footswitch instead of FX return - and also started waffling about the phase of the channels - ignore that part. Will make sure to drink more coffee first next time. Don’t stick your hands in the guts of electronics without knowing what everything does - you could die. If you made it all the way through, thanks!
Tremolo fun with Modified Princeton Reverb Clone

Skip to 3:40 for guitar. More low production content, but remembered landscape mode for once. Wired up an old wah pedal to adjust the tremolo speed of this Princeton Reverb clone. Thanks for watching and hope this is of interest
Restored Gibson GA-25RVT Hawk sound demo

Here’s a sound demo of this recently restored Gibson Hawk from circa 1965 - just through an iPhone camera, sorry. It’s all I have. I played a Telecaster and a Les Paul through it. If you’re interested in the amp, please contact me through my website. Cheers!
Fender Bassman 100 restoration woes
มุมมอง 437 หลายเดือนก่อน
A 1975-76 Fender Bassman 100 restoration - nearly completed. Just waiting on a couple of parts, but will probably have to depopulate and clean/bake the main eyelet board one more time. The before-cleaning voltages on the board were around 1.2vdc so it’s an improvement but I’m not satisfied. Sorry for the low quality video, once again.
Moody Model 496 waxing lyrical and play test
มุมมอง 808 หลายเดือนก่อน
I will remember to film in landscape mode, one of these days. Quick sound test and a bit of gibber about some of the repair work that was carried out on this cute little Australian fire breather. More geek stuff: I also forgot to mention that the preamp had been previously modified - the first gain stage had a rather large 1meg grid leak resistor, with a 470k plate load and 2.2k cathode (bypass...
Hohner Fuzz-Wah by Shin-EI quick demo

Another low production value video. Portait mode again, oops. Here’s a quick sound test of a Hohner Fuzz-Wah, made by Shin-Ei that came in with the wah not working (faulty switch)
EHX Deluxe Big Muff play test after repair
มุมมอง 1510 หลายเดือนก่อน
Quick fang on this pedal after repair. This one came in because the footswitch had worked loose and damaged the ribbon cable connecting it to the main circuit board, due to no washers being fitted to it during production. I replaced the fiddly cable and added tooth washers to both switches so that it won’t happen again
