Bass Amp Repair: Crate B80XL
มุมมอง 6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
A friend asked me about fixing up an old bass amp. I'd never worked on an amp before but it seemed like a fun challenge. Let's get into it! I was able to get a replacemet jack from here: www.tubesandmore.com/products/14-jack-cliff-pc-mount-l-leg NOTE: This is not a tube amp. A tube amp can be very dangerous to work on if you don't know what you're doing - which I don't.

Maschine Mikro Repair: USB Port

Today we're cracking open nextdimensional's Maschine Mikro to see if we can't repair the USB port. She reached out to me some time back to see if I could do the repair. After receiving the unit I got started. This was a relatively easy repair. The main things to watch out for are the hidden screw under the warranty label and remembering to disconnect the ribbon cable before taking out the main ...
SP303 Repair: Volume Knob and Audio Out
มุมมอง 1.3K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I picked up a broken SP303 on ebay months ago. Since I couldn't find a decent tutorial I decided to take a crack at making my own. The volume knob was very loose. I could only get audio if I tilted the knob. In addition, one of the output channels was spotty as well. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
I have a Vacuum Desoldering Pump works much easier then a wick...
I have a question. I just bought an SP 303 and the only sound from the outputs are faint high frequencies (treble only), there is zero sound from the headphone jack and although the volume knob is solid and in its place, there is no change when rotating the knob. In your expertise (and so I have a good idea of what to buy for repairs) do you know of this issue? I don't know if its something common or if there's another route it could be besides the outputs. Any info is appreciated!!
If I had to guess, I would say the volume knob has gone bad. What I would do is swap the volume knob with a fresh replacement.
@@sumawav thank you for the info! Would that contribute to the outputs only putting out the high frequencies? (I.e. faint sound coming from outputs similar to blown speakers)
Hola.. están dañados los capacitores de la fuente del preamp. No los viste inflados? jajajaj
I had to re-watch this again. My friggin' 130gb HD suddenly died on me and now I see I have a lot of unscrewing to do to get to the drive.. I hope its not destroyed because I didn't back it up..
Great job!!
imagine my surprise when I crack the bottom open and see an 8-output staring back at me. this wasn’t in the video!!! (it was a struggle but I got its board and plate off) thanks so much for this, I replaced 8 switches with your help. it’s definitely possible to get it done on that board without opening the bottom - when I finally unplugged that part, I didn’t get any more give from the wires than I did before it. I slapped her back together and did the last 3 with that piece plugged back in, so for anyone else this may save you some time!
Yo, thanks for the heads up! Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching 🙏🏽
badass. are you just using a high % isopropyl alcohol for the cleaning?
Oh yeah! 99.9% 👌🏽
great work
I will use this video for change mine soon. Can i use a contact cleaner for clean? Thanks for the video
for cleaning circuit boards your best best is isopropyl alcohol. Buy the highest alcohol percent you can find.
Excellent Video. Couldn't figure out whete each speaker wire went. Your flip over, showed, Red, nearest vent. Thank you.
Great! Glad to be of service. Helping out the homies was my goal 🤘🏽
Nice work
DEoxit first 95% of the time it works!
Bro.. you make it look so easy. Respect. I'm ready to upgrade my screen now. Love it.
Nice soldering!!
i need help, i need the knob replacement and i just saw you use from NI Maschine. is that mean that i can buy replacement knob from maschine too?
(the plastic cover one). and is it from volume master maschine knob or the other one? thank youu
That board is screamin for flux, rip
Yo yoo! My Sp303 just died today or.. I dont know when but I was just using it perfectly a couple days ago. Went to turn it on right now and it does not go on. I tried different outlets and nothing. Idk if its the power cable or something inside I need to fix/replace. Any thoughts?
Great video!
Yo! Can you send me a link to this encoder, please :)
Great video! love that jazz vinyl btw, Found it in a store in canada, my push 2 has been lying around since it has stopped working. doesnt detect basically, assuming i used it quite often without the adapter. now it wouldnt work just by the midi cable, could you please suggest what could be done. Thanks man
Does the unit power on when you connect it via midi? If not, it's probably the midi port that went bad over time from plugging/unplugging the cable. If this is the case, you'll have to replace it. It's a common part and not a super complicated repair.
What type of knop is that?
Just did this repair myself, It was my first solder job. Your video helped me get it done. Thank you man!!
Which soldering iron did you use?
So satisfying to watch!
Hey friend, thank you. About 20 years ago I found a BX 50 in the garbage. I took it and it had no balls. My friend (who was supposed to be an amp repair technician) told me it wasn’t worth fixing. I’m a drummer that recently took up the bass. I know nothing about amplifiers except how to set up a PA. I saw your video and took the amp apart, cleaned it like you did and, holy moly, it works fantastic. Thank you again for posting this video. By the way, I don’t think TH-cam was around 20 years ago.
Yooooo! So glad you were able to get it up and running! This is exactly why I upload these videos 💪🏽
Did you have to purchase new switches or did you clean the pre-existing ones and reinstall ?
I bought new switches. They're cheap enough that fixing them isn't worth the effort. Here's the ones I used - I'm *pretty sure* they're the same for all MPC models - at least pre MPC Live: www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/688-SKHHAK
Bro you're an SP doctor! I feel the love you have for these machines so dope. It's all greek to me I just hope mine works! Can you fix 202s also?
Thank you! I'm just doing what I can to help keep the magic alive. I have fixed a 202. The current problem is that replacement knobs are hard to find. Last time I checked there were a few available in Australia hahaha. The shipping alone made it not worth it.
@@sumawav Ahh gotchya, The one I have looks great physically but does nothing when you turn it on. I could send it to you if you want to give it a shot..
where can buy the new pads？
mpc-stuff.com sells them
@@sumawavThey are different with sp404og pad
a real pleasure watching this
My outputs aren’t working. Any idea? You think it could be analog chip?
It's more likely your output jacks are going bad. Does the headphone out work?
@@sumawav no completely dead too. I tested it wit multi meter and jacks are fine. I’m think analog chip or amp chip
daaaamn, that's a much more serious problem. mpc-stuff has entire replacement boards but they're pricey
I might have to send mines 😂 smh 🤦🏿♂️
Hi, I just need to replace one cursor key (left) where can I get the replacement tact ? Thanks for the video😊
Here ya go! www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/688-SKHHAK
Does anyone watching this have any experience with the USB port on the Push 2? My Push 2 will power on via the power supply but does nothing over USB. I did a continuity test from the four USB pins on the Push 2 mainboard. There seems to a physical connection between each of those four pins and their corresponding wires on the cable when plugged in, even so my computer doesn't see the Push. I thought perhaps a corrupt firmware update might mean there is no driver equivalent on the Push 2. All the same that should stop the Push powering up on USB power. Any clues welcomed. As Ableton no longer manufactures the Push 2, it seems unlikely they will offer tech support for anything other than their latest current model.
Extra strange especially if there's continuity from the pins to the wire. My first thought is the 4 pins may have bad or cracked solder joints. So you would see continuity between the pins and wires, but the PUSH doesn't see past the bad pins. This is super common, the physical act of plugging and unpluggin the USB cable can cause stress on those 4 pins. Remelting the solder on those pins *might* help re-establish their connection.
@@sumawav In the back of my mind I kind of know i have to resolder those 4 pins, but i needed someone else to say so. Anyway, I've now bought the Push 3, so I have nothing to lose. I shall try resoldering - edit to follow.
I have a 1000 but no audio. I think maybe a chip or capacitor. Any idea?
I bet the issue is more likely the output jacks. They get a lot of wear and tear from plugging and unplugging cables. One thing to check is if there's audio out of the headphone jack.
@@sumawav headphone Jack doesn’t work either. I replaced the ic chip but still nothing. Do you know which chip is the dac chip
neat little trick!
I had a really hard time finding the correct potentiometer online even tho i had the original documentation. When I finnaly got it a wring one arrived without the front two pins. Do you maybe have a hint for me where you got yours? Thx
I got mine from mouser. The sad story is that part is now discontinued. I can’t even pull it up on mouser, and the alps alpine catalog doesn’t list its datasheet anymore. I wish I could give you the exact specs, but for the life of me I can’t remember. What I’ve been suggesting is people get the replacement part from mpc-stuff.com
@@sumawav i got now one from alps alpine with the same specs but only 3 pins. Worst case i try to solder two extra pins on that. Thanks for the response
thanks for your help...changed mine. Works great.
Delighted to hear it!
Ok darn it you made me pull out my 1k. It’s chromed plated with custom decals now but it’s time for a refresh. Now I have to order every single upgrade option available for it. Darn you!
*gently presses fingertips together* "Good, good...."
@@sumawav I’ve maybe found a fix for the OG pads. Mines is over 15 years old. Stock pads. I’m now on the last row of the fix. It worked on the first pad. Now hopefully it continues to work. I’m so tired of clicking on FL studio 🤦🏿♂️. If this works maybe an MPC 1 might be next!
Where did u get the enconder?

@@sumawav .. thank you.. 🙏🏻
nice video! i have a question ,my push 2 knob cap will falling off when i trun over my push,do you konw how to fix it ？ thanks
Best option would be to get a new knob. OR you could try putting a tiny amount of putty or modeling clay inside the cap to help it stick to the knob. Lol, i would advise against glue since that would make it challenging to take apart in the future.
Thank you so much for the video.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
asmrish 🤤
btw man was dope, love seeing desoldering stuff and redoing it, it's inspiring
Nice work! I gotta get one of those spudger tools for the ribbon cables.
Incredible useful. I'm in awe of the utility of the mighty spudger. I got mine from ifixit.com. It came with an iphone battery repair kit. I call it a spudger in the video, but it turns out a different tool is referred to as a spudger. The one I used is called the "Opening Tool" www.ifixit.com/products/ifixit-opening-tool
my dude is back with a new vid! Thanks man, I'm fixing one of these myself. The top 3 pads are DEAD, and they don't sell the sensor pad anymore. I found a video on cutting slits into the dead sensors to let air back in, hoping to finally attempt it this weekend.
hope it worked. My right directional pad is wonky and I want to try slicing the sensor.
I'm going to have to replace the drive level potentiometer soon on my 303. Thanks so much for this video.
Glad it was helpful! Watch out, for the pads lifting. The 303 is getting on in years and the pads can lift easily if you apply heat for too long. It can also be a challenge to clear solder out of the holes. Sometimes i have to clean and flux the pad, add more solder, THEN try to suck/wick it out. Best of luck!
Hey man - are you open to doing repairs? I have a push2 with the same issue - and the pads in the lower left quadrant have worn down unevenly - and lost sensitivity due to uneven use of pads (this is a desgin flaw IMO) - I reached out to them to ask how much it would cost to fix - I knew it was out of warranty and wasnt looking for a freebee - and they refused to fix it. Im so pissed. I have been with live since V4! Spent at least $2000 over the years on Ableton products alone - and they keep raising the upgrade prices - and then this. Please help
Sorry about the late reply. Bad pads are a challenging fix. All I can really do is clean them and hope for the best. Lol, the video may not show it, but taking apart the push is a HUGE pain in the butt. Honestly, it's just not worth the effort without a guaranteed fix. Your best bet is to take it apart and clean the pads and pcb with alcohol.
please dont take this video down 😂 i need to work on mine in a couple of weeks. ive had my xl since 2009, its absolutely my baby and i am terrified to work on the pcb but it DESPERATELY needs some fixes. i am not experienced at all with soldering and desoldering, you make it look so smooth and precise but you're a pro and i have never done any. should i practice some first? im good with my hands ive actually done some welding before but never worked on anything so tiny and precision based.
Don't worry, I'm NEVER taking any of these down. This info is for everybody! Soldering isn't impossibly difficult, but it will take some practice and unlike making music, the equipment DOES matter. My suggestion is to get a simple kit to practice with. You can find basic kits for making little noisemakers or other toys. They're a good way to learn without risking damaging your equipment. Here's an example from amazon: www.amazon.com/Learn-to-Solder-Kit-Jitterbug/dp/B078BYT8K2/ Also, I've found this video to be an excellent primer on soldering: th-cam.com/video/6rmErwU5E-k/w-d-xo.html Best of luck! If you have any questions feel free to ask. DM me on instagram @ suma.wav
@@sumawav ayo thank you so much for the quick and informative reply. you are a treasure fam! think i'll snag that practice kit and put some hours in before i work on my lucille. i subbed and followed you on IG as well.
You should def practice first, you don’t want to scrape or damage any tracks. Grab a old piece of anything on the side of the road or grab some broken things offline for free and just grab any chip board and practice. ✌🏽get your hands steady and not so nervous … it might be the case if you’ve never solder something so small and tiny… 😅
That shit sexy fam
im having trouble with my navigation buttons, the same ones you replaced. honesty doesn't look like a hard repair im going to have to try!
It's not a difficult repair if you have a decent soldering iron! Just make sure you desolder the right pins lol. It can get confusing when you flip the board over
hope you're doing alright, you haven't uploaded in 10 months! im in the middle of repairing my mpc 1000 now. if i mess up bad ill be leaving another comment
Appreciate you! I've been well thanks much for asking. Currently editing up an mpc500 video.
Glad you put these up, i'm currently modding/restoring a MPC 1000 i picked up cheap. It was already skinned, terribley thats peeling out. They sharpied all the buttons black, and it just looks beat. I know the pads were double triggering so already replacing those but considering going all in and making it fresh. appreciate the videos.
