LOVE that rack Tube Driver

A 65-foot Deluxe Reverb? And it's guts, not gut's.

That was terrible from the guitar not being in tune to the guy playing who really can't play well. The amp sounded terrible. This is the CLOWN show

Wow! Brings back so many memories. When I was a teen in the 70's that was my first amplifier.

A lot of hum.

Shawn lane used these

It sounds like it’s broken

Kyle Bulls showcase of the Antares brought me here. OMFG what an awesome amp. I loved every sound from that amp.

The best amplifier modeller I have used.

Hafler stuff is a well kept secret. I have two hellrazors, one t2 and a g300. They can kill.

hi there, anyway i can get a schematic and parts list? would liek to know which components to replace... i could shoot you some money for the help. thanks.

This guy has a great way of explaining the function of an amp to a non tech.

A user commented regarding the deville "not needing orange drops", and that the amp simply needs electrolytics replaced. The FQ response is enhanced from using the more robust Orange Drop tone capacitors. Orange drops are simply a higher quality tone capacitor in comparison to the panasonic caps present in the stock circuit. How the guy doesn't understand this is beyond me, but that's the clown world we live in. Of course one doesn't NEED to replace them, but by doing so one gets a fatter/bolder/fuller FQ sound. As per electrolytics , a twenty year old amp certainly could use new filter caps and potentially coupling caps. The deville is a pcb based design, these were mass produced using a wave solder machine, and Fender certainly didn't install the best components in the Hot Rod series. The IC electrolytics aren't an ideal solution, and switching them out will provide a more efficient power supply to your various gain stages. This video wasn't about switching filter caps, it was a tone cap swap vid.

I have a DeVille, a 1996 40th anniversary edition. It doesn't need orange drops ! It needs to have all of the "IC" branded caps replaced with "MOD's!" Also the speakers changed to Jensen MOD's ! This video was absolutely BRUTAL to watch !

lupe

This video is literally gold thank you for this interview

If you ask for multi-head delay : you have the Boonar by Dawner Prince Effects which is an interpretation of the Binson Echorec... Pink Floyd... On the Vox Tonelab, you can only modify structural parameters of the multi-head delay by using the linked computer application. Using the Unit only, you have to use the multi-head delay as set up by default (I mean for structural parameters).

Ive read that it's illegal to make those old transformers because of LEAD. Not sure how true that is.

Greatttttt tone!!!!!

Has the cameraman been drinking Kentucky moonshine?

I really enjoyed this video. Thank You so much. 👍👍 💯 🎸🎶 🇺🇸.

They rock and are rare. I have four HOLMES amplifiers. One Pro Compact 2x10 one MPr one Mp1 one Other HOLMES all one X 12 except for the Pro Compact. I link them all together they are awesome LOUD and have a controllable feedback. I use a Boss rp 50 pedal overdrive settings. I love the way they sound they definitely need the right pedal though!

I had this on the desk in my studio for 10+ years - ideal for quick switching to try different sounds when we were busy with all kinds of sessions almost every day. I landed on a handful of pre-sets that covered most of my needs if I was in a hurry, and if time allowed I could sculpt the 'perfect' sound with the various amp / cab set-ups etc. It's a workhorse and bit of a Swiss Army Knife and I like the VALVE and the KNOBS! I still have it altho these last couple of years I have slowed down on workflow and been enjoying individual pedals again from Effectrode / TC Electronics / Strymon / Victory and, of corse, my Paul Crowther Hot Cake (Paul is an old friend from way back). I haven't explored the various more sophisticated digital modellers out there . . . I've never got on top of programming to the extent some of them need so very happy with my old school Vox back-up for now! Thanks for taking the time to profile this classic box!

I have four HOLMES amplifiers they are awesome. I have a Pro compact 2x10 a MPR 1x12 a small 1x12 and a bigger 1x12. They can be daisy chained together and get very loud with a controllable feedback.

Tonelab rules rock on

They're not cheap, but a Hakko FR-301 desoldering gun will get those stubborn caps out more quickly, and with less chance of lifting a trace or solder pad. It's a huge improvement over wick or a manual solder sucker.

Would you happen to know if the Holmes Tech 25Rs are any good? I’ve got a BK Butler Tube Driver and I’m wondering if it will get close to Shawn Lanes tone being from the 80’s. Someone has one for $80 close by, can’t seem to find a TH-cam video for these amps.

hey Keith , it was nice meeting you .. can't wait for a review / build video on the FilmOsound , ( SPOILER ALERT ) subscribed .

Althea 🎉

Great playing and a very interesting guitar. 24,75 scale length? What string gauge du you use?

Great amp and playing !I know Steve and subscribe to gearland . Very cool

bunch of loosers

Wow, that’s interesting. Not much about these.

Good review. Thanks

Brandon is such a monstrous musician and player! This made my day

Can you help me with my fender hot rod deluxe iii

A Guild M70. Rare beast

Great interview,hope everything goes well with getting the Plek.

Isn’t this out of production.

My amp :) <3 Glad to see it

These are great, if you have lots of time to dial in stuff, the learning curve is hard to maintain unless you use it quite often. And mine is quite long the tonelab se with 2 expression pedals. We are now moving into the Neural realm of Captures. I call the Tonelab Gen. 1, Kemper was Gen 2/profiling their term and patent. Now a Game Changer has immerged with using the computer screen for the learning curve, which is much easier. And it is GEN 3. Captures TONEX, I am watching one to see if it stays supportive with changes. Ideally one would only need maybe 10 to 15 presets to do most Gigs, so all the 150 presets is Overkill and playing around with units/effects takes you away from actually playing learning Music/instrument. I used to go see a Band that the guitar player had the Amplifier version of Tonelab, he sounded just like the Records Artists they were doing. Tom Petty, AC DC, the Cars were some of the Artists they did, Classic Rock Band.

Love the accent, cannot understand a word LOL, Just a joke, peace

That's a great guitar,you're doing it right...I went by your shop the other day,I was working in that part of town.I definitely will try to get a consultation with Justin soon...I'm a lefty that does all kinds of crazy things to guitars.

I just bought this amp from Doug today. He's a good guy with a great little shop in Cincinnati. The Fargen Mini Plex is incredible sounding. Everything I hoped for and more. Thanks Doug.

Those IC brand filter caps are known to fail prematurely. You should get them out of there. I'm suprised he didn't know to...

I bet you that room smells good. Miss the days of smoking inside.

You need better lighting

Are the blue capacitors "filter caps"?

The dude in the white shirt loud AF

By sheer coincidence Petrucci also used an 8-string or the JP-2C on Awaken The Master and he did start using 7-strings in the mid-90s occasionally but not often until later.
