@@voxpathfinder15r yes, and with a minimum maintenance should last long. They had different circuits thats why the sound difference.

Hope its a good thing...

@mikestormm i mean congratulations

@@SmallTownMusician thanks! I really appreciate it

@@RichieLee-dn3fd thanks! Being honest I am not a bass player, these videos are more a proof of the gear that is been fixed. I really appreciate your words, too kind from your side. If you are a bass player, check my brand channel: Mad Custom Electronics, there you can find a bunch of playing videos of my bass overdrive pedal... Nono. Give it a look

Hi! all details into the video description

Hi! 16ohms output if I recall right. I usually match impedence between cab and amp output.

@@brunosampaio2399 Hi! Its a versatile multifx pedal! If you have a chanse to find one for a good price and in working conditions, its worth a try.

Thanks Will! I really appreciate it! My videos are intended as proof of fix type, and I have to say the clean channel of the vintage club series is amazing! And the sound of this recording doesnt pay justice of how warm and full the room was while I was playing. Unfortunatelly were I am those amps are really rare, but maybe where are you located it may come one out on the used market. If so, get a deal and take it home... its heavy but sound great!!!

@mikestormm You're not wrong about the clean channel or the natural warmth those amps provide at all. I was surprised to find a guitar combo with a "15 when I came across mine. One of things I loved so much about it at the time.

@@willredelsheimer Strange choise the 15 inch speaker, but I think it worked. The only bad thing of this amps is the cab that is made from mdf, heavy as hell.

@@DanielDavis730 who said its a demo? However if you think you can do better, get a dead studio 22+, make it work again as it should "putting in hours" of repair work and than the cherry on the cake, make a proof of repair video so the owner of the amp can see and listen that his amp is working again. I dont make demo video, I repair gears!

Nothing to worry about as long as you take care of it. As we suggest our customers to give their gear cleaning and maintenance every year or so. For example if dust builds up, jacks began to give faulty contacts. This particular model has the smps power supply and the class d power amp all in one board, and dusting it off makes heat dissipation better. Enjoy your amp and taking care of it will make it last years.

Thanks! If you refere to my playing... well... its allmost two decades that I dont practice and play very often. But I am getting in shape again.

Hi, if I recall right it had ics on the power rails all bad.

@@jimkiousis hi! In the case of the amp that came in yes. With time and use pots go bad and began to cut off

Hi! If I recall right, the output wattage before the breakup was the same, the only thing output tubes were beaten hard, so lowering the bias we manage to get at least a couple of years more from it. Hope it helps

@@mikestormm thank you, trying to find the alternative to vox , this seams good and i have a Rambler which is almost perfect pedal platform and clean amp, with great frequency to cut through the mix, my fear was if thwre is no headroom in Lincoln. Thanks

@@vladaface1 depends on the band volume, the Lincoln and the Rumble are perfect for small places, but with bigger places you need to step up on wattage.

Can't wait to come home and collect the amp and try it for the first time ❤​@@mikestormm

@@nestorduran6438 hi! It had issues on power supply, dont recall the exact faulty parts. If yours power on but has no sound coming out, it could be(with a bit of luck) a bad speaker connector/wiring, or the amplifier IC. If you are handy with electronics and have a multimeter you can try to find where the problem lays, if not just find a repair shop near to you.

@@CamposCaster nunca probe' un celestion v type, pero buscando aqui en youtube vi un video de comparacion entre un v type y un v30, en verdad no me parece nada mal. Considera que cada amplificador tiene su voz, que sea de valvulas o de transistores y cada parlante tambien tiene su voz. De toda manera poner un celestion de calidad como reemplazo al parlante de fabrica, creo que de seguro es una mejora. Ademas mirando las caracteristicas del v type, veo que tiene 98dbm de sensibilidad lo que me hace pensar que el amplificador deberia tener un empuje de volume mayor

@@mikestormm ,,,y ademas es 70w,,,menos riesgo,,,,Veremos que hacemos,,,,Mil Gracias, abrazo

@@CamposCaster siempre un placer! Si te animas dale un vistazo a mi instagram: mad_customelectronics y si te gusta dale un follow

@@CamposCaster eres bienvenido! Considera que un fender deluxe 112(el mismo del video) segun la misma fender es capaz de entregar unos 65w, que seria la misma potencia declarada por un Creamback 65. Hay pero tambien Creamback que manean un poco mas de potencia y estos son los Creamback 75(75w). Que sean de transistor o de valvula poco cambia, los watts son watts(siempre si los fabricantes son sincero). El porque un amp a valvula "suena" mas fuerte de uno a transistor de igual potencia es un poco mas complicado, hay que tener en consideracion de las sensibilidad de los parlantes(mayores dbm), casi siempre los transformadores de alimentacion en lo de valvula son capable de entregar la cantidad de potencia que el final pide(lo de transistores son calculados justo o un pelo meno aka " a tacañeria") etc etc. Creo que con un Creamback 75 vas a ganar dos veces: en calidad de sonido y puedes subir el volume sin tener miedo de causar daño al parlante mismo.

@@CamposCaster hola! Con un Vintage30 te queda corto en terminos de potencia y personalmente no me gusta poner bajo estress la bocina, porque por un nada se daña y te puede causar problema al amplificador. Un Creamback seria justo a nivel de potencia y ademas suena muy bien. Otra alternativa pudiera ser un Eminence de la serie Patriot que suenan de seguro mejor de los parlantes que salian stock de fabrica con estos amps. Yo creo que el asunto principal es, que parlantes de buena calidad y caracteristicas sonoras logras conseguir sin que cuestes casi cuanto el valor de el amplificador usado. Por cualquier duda, me deja saber

just the opposite...

@@mikestormm Give me good ol' analog gear all day long!

Hi, being honest the amp in the video was a real mess, due to several attempts of modding/fixing by other people. Speaking of your problem, if hum is not tube related(maybe a faulty tube) and you get hum noise as soon as you power on the amp, and no matter if the volume/s are at zero or maxed out, it could be some bad caps in the filtering section of the power supply. Please if you have never worked on hi voltage tube equipment, or you are not sure where putting hands, bring it to a tech, due to high voltage involved and a crowded pcb/chassis its easy to put yourself in danger. Tube equipments are not a joke to work with. Please be safe

Thanks Tim! If you are in the mood, follow us on instagram @mad_customelectronics

Its for sale, let me know if you are interested 😂

Hi, if you are handy with this stuff I will at first check for internal connections, check for broken solder joints on output jacks and also a look at the volume slider. Those units have their ages and if not kept well and far from humidity, can give issues. Hope it helps, feel free to reach me on Instagram at Mad_customelectronics

Hi Paolo, the amp sounds really nice. Clean ch(ch A) is very dinamic, chimy but has a nice bottom. Overdrive ch (ch B) is ok, doesnt have to me the wow factor, but its honest. Each channel has its own volume control so you can set to your liking, and each ch has its own reverb control too. The one in the video has 4x el84 as power tubes and a 15 inch speaker. The only downside of this amp is the cabinet, its made out of mdf and its heavy as a rock. If you find a good deal but has the cabinet not in great condition, take it and make a new cab out of plywood. You will get an overall light amp.

Clean ch is very usefull, actually the only effects available are two, a spring reverb coming out from a small 2 springs tank and a stereo chorus, very nice sounding. Unfortunatelly the recording doesnt pay justice on how much the sound was deep and full with the chorus engaged. The guitar used in the video is a Olp musicman licensed, Lukather model.

Its for sale

@@mikestormmfor how much

Thanks!

Hi! Thanks!!! Matched quad of JJ 6l6gc

Hi Antonio, yes and not only volume drop, also other settings for bass, treble and gain were unstable and changing randomly. If you are in the mood, follow us on instagram @ mad_customelectronics

Hi Chris, if I recall it right, the unit came in for repair with a 18v DC, and the gt6 with a dc powersupply wont work. Customer stated that he was using that psu as long as he remember. Maybe he was wrong! Usually customers dont tell everything. I allways recomend using the right power supply. In this pedalboard, and guessing based on what was broken, they have tried differents psu, maybe also some inverted polarity ones(very usual here). If I remember right the unit had burnt the dc dc converter for the 3.3v rail, a couple of transistors that regulates the 9v dual rails(+/-9v) and the 7805 ic(voltage regulator) was suspicious. As long as i know, based on gt6 that came in along the years, the pcb used is the same, I am sure they had some revisions along the years but nothing extraordinary. If you like it, follow us on Instagram at mad_customelectronics. Hope it helps

At the time Fender was trying to offer to the players a "boosted" or "overdriven" option, or at least that was the idea. So as you can see in the schematics, they took part of the signal that drives the reverb and thought it will overdrive... In reality it does very little, but very very little. Hope it helps

Hi, nothing really exoteric, change some filter caps values, apart that 70% of components values have been changed to JMI era. Reach us and follow on instagram @mad_customelectronics if you have more questions

Thanks

You can find in the market one with blue led and one with red led. Just as you assumed, the red led one will stay on but flickers as the compression kicks in. The blue led one, thanks to the voltage needed to stay on(higher than red one), it just flickers with the compression. If you like how the blue one behaves... just swap the led with a 3mm hi brightness blue one.

@@mikestormm easy swap or soldering involved?

@@rcb_matt unfortunatelly soldering is involved. Desolder the red one and solder in the blue, no mods no other components to change. If you need advice, reach me on instagram at Mad Custom Electronics

Thanks 👍🏻

Muito obrigado

Thanks! Amp is from a customer and friend, and came in allmost one year ago for a full recap. If you have a local amp tech, or a friend who knows where to put fingers in the amp without getting shocked, I may begin to look to caps in general near the tone stack, and a special look to the ceramic discs capacitors... often they go bad and microphonics.

Hi, depends on the actual condition of the amp and price. The amp sounds good, can deliver a nice sound and offer a solid state and tube preamp option.

@@mikestormm hey thanks!!

@@johnpolace9344 if you like amp and effects stuff, give a look at my instagram account mad_customelectronics

Sad to hear you sold the amp. It has a nice honest sounding clean ch, and a decent drive ch, with the help of an overdrive infront, the drive ch sings. Sometimes those amps come up on the used market for really little money... who knows

Hi, no output at the send? The level potentiometer on the back side is working? Also make sure the patch didnt have some muting function

@@mikestormm I measured the potentiometer with a multimeter. Frankly, I don't know if it's mute, let me check. When I connect the guitar, I see a signal in the tuner. It measures the notes correctly. In addition, I can see the output input signal in the meter section in the utility section, only the sound does not come out.

Estas fender son bastante economicas y perfecta para tocar live con bateria sin tener que llevarse una planta de tubo

Thanks! You are right, nice sounding amp for sure
