Here's what I like about this: Straightforward how-to content with no artificial time constraints or obstacles. I'd rather watch this on cable TV than most of the reality television that exists today.
It's a lot more real.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Jagger Tadeo instablaster ;)
@Landon Jay Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Landon Jay It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
Props for including the part where the guy says --That goes on the outside.
This was cool to watch
"HOLY CRAP I BUILT THIS!" Best line! lol
Anybody remember Heathkit? Everything from AM radios to color TV's in kit form. Very rewarding to complete a project like that. Congrats RJ 👍
Amps too as I recall.
@@duanewilson3941 I'm sure you're correct. I just remember the things my dad assembled
Short wave around the world receivers 😃
My grandfather made a solid state bass head a cab.
I built a few Heathkit projects in the mid 70’s, loved it! There are many similar kits available these days, I’m currently building a digital oscilloscope kit. ;)
This is so cool!! thanks for sharing this! Congratulations!
The feeling when you build something like this, priceless :D
Awesome RJ ,sounds great !
Gr8 build! I've been looking into these and I think you've sold me on one! Happy New Year RJ!
seems like a super cool project! Good job on getting yours to work, man!
Did this exact amp build in Chicago at Specimen a few years back. Indeed one of the most satisfying things I've ever done is to flip that switch and get sound out of something I hand built. Loved it.
You do a great job on these style of vids. What a pleasant way to get a nice amp! Cheers!!
Love it! looks like SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video, RJ. It was a pleasure meeting you in class and looking forward to years of enjoyment from our 5E3's! I'm already planning for another Mojotone build!
Nice build man! Love it when they fire up first try!
Congratulations, it is fabulous building your own gear!
RJ thanks so much taking your personal time building this beauty and sharing it on your channel. Sounds great, and glad you have that 50's Fender-style tweed amp now!
Great job man! Didn't know you built it too! building an amp is super cool👌🏻😁
That was good to watch. And the amp sounded good. I can see why you enjoyed building that.
You will get so much enjoyment from this amp as your own hands constructed it! Well done, great job!
Happy new year RJ, best wishes (music and life!) Cheers from France.
Awesome! I have been thinking about getting one of these kits. I would love to take their course.
Good job and congratulations!
MOJOTONE 👍
This is a very tempting quarantine past time lol.
Great job!! I,m freaking jealous. Sounds great to me but I love authentic fender sounds. Lots of guys like to put celestions in those but the circuit is a great one.
Really cool ! Now I want to build one!
Thanks for this video, RJ! I feel the same satisfaction you mentioned when I changed the pickups on my strat. Somehow it makes you more connected to the gear when you build or at least modify it. Happy new year!
Literally one of the best sounding amps I've heard
very satisfying - wish I had a course like that local to me in the UK
Built my first amp last month...a 5f1...first time soldering and tons of mistakes and cuss words but when I plugged it in at the end and strummed a few chords it was so incredibly gratifying.
Nice job! Good on you! 've repaired and modified amps, never built one. I'd like to do a tweed Deluxe!
Fun video, RJ - and it's nice to hear you talking about things, since I'm just used to seeing your awesome guitar demos with no talking..
Great job R.J. !
very nice job! DIY audio and music will def lift off into this new decade. Kits like this are excellent to experiment with. Soldering it to perfection and combined with better transformers(they are the pivotal part) you would be surprised where you can go...!
Congratulations RJ, that is a fun class. I went to the Phoenix class with Phil. I love these amps!
Awesome!
I'm doing this if they ever come to Dallas.
That was cool! Would love to try this sometime!
R.J., thanks for posting this! I'm always looking for bargains on amplifiers but have been pondering the Mojotone route for quite awhile and may do the the 5E3 kit and class. Also, thanks for showing how well that Epi Les Paul sounds! Would love to get a new LP but can't swing for a Gibson. Thanks again!
MJ
I use Mojotone parts for my guitars. Good stuff. I have one of the last Metro Amp 800 series Marshall kits I purchased years ago and never finished. Watching you build the Tweed is jazzin' me up to get it done.
Great Job! I am in the process of building a home brew push/pull 6AQ5 amp. Wish there was a class for that local!
After hanging with my amp tech and watching him work, if found that it’s not the actual work (soldering, wiring, etc..) that’s difficult. It’s understanding the how and why all the different components work together to achieve different tones.. brilliant video R.J.!!
RJ well done! The hardest part is not building, but troubleshooting if something goes wrong.
Nice job RJ! Please do a demo in your studio with your guitars, would like to hear the amp put through the paces.
Good Job R.J. Last month I got a 5f11 vibrolux from Mojotone and I love it. Going to get me the 5e3 deluxe next! Lets see some videos of you rolling some different speakers through it. Right now I'm using a Fat Jimmy c1025 in my 5f11.
Literally my dream vacation. Go build an amp!
I want to do this one day. I think it would be beneficial to have a working knowledge of how amps function. Thanks for sharing your experience!!!
Classic, but one day is not good enough - in reality that means: Never.
Sounds killer!
Great video ! Loved it ! Been playing guitar for 56 years , and I still don't know how an amp works ! Believe it or not , I learned a lot of basics watching your video !
That was really cool! I’ll bet you’ll put that baby to good use!!
The scariest time for me is installing the speaker! I've built a Tweed pro, a Tweed bassman, a Tweed super and I've modded one of those brown vibroverb RIs with an ab763 circuit. Tons of fun!
Great work! Looking forward to see a sound comparance with Rhetts 5e3.
Good onya for giving amp-kit building a go, RJ, you did a great job of it, I wouldn't mind getting the chance to do something like this at least once in my life, I'm currently working on a diy scratch-build Soldano SLO 50 amp-build project.
Cool vid.
I built the 5E3 weber with 2-12's in it and it's been a solid good sounding amp for for about 12 years now. Enjoy!
It sounds so good!
Definitely on my bucket list along with building an Archtop with Dale Unger
Well done, sir 👍😁
I’ve been thinking of getting one of those kits as well. I think I’ll just do it! Thx
Great work. Thank you for your documentary.
That’s awesome, I’m interested!
Pretty cool class. I built a Mojotone champ style kit with my Dad. The documentation did not seem to include as much stuff as in this video. It was basically the parts and the wiring diagram, which for me was pretty tough. I was actually not successful initially and had to get some help from an amp guru... but eventually I got it working and it's a cool little amp and it was an interesting learning experience. Building amps is hard.
It can help you appreciate hiring a craftsman and paying a fair price. My Tweed looks like it was built by Homer Simpson.
Looks like so much fun I would love to do that 1 day
Yeahh, but one day is not good enough - in reality that means: Never.
You're hooked! and there's no coming back:-) Now you can try to build your own from scratch,a 5C1 clone would be the simplest to do and they sound really nice.
Well done.... nice Amp!
I built my 5E3 at Mojotone and I was in the class with Rhett Shull. I had not heard of him then. The amp is great and I loved learning from the guys from Mojotone.
Hey John, I was in the same class. In Rhett video, I was the old guy with the white beard in the front row. Loved the class, Mojotone guys are great. And the Mojotone headquarters are impressive.
Beautiful tone
Nice!
Good job RJ.
I took the class in Phoenix and it was awesome.
Whatever song that is played at 3:52 and beyond makes me Happy.
Good one RJ! Sounds great! Larry Carlton used a 5E3 on a lot of the Steely Dan stuff he did.
Such a legendary amp!
Awesome vid. Awesome playing also
Nice one RJ, sounds nice and clear at this end. I hope you keep us all up to speed on how it's performing and if you dig it more than other combos?
Awesome! Would love to do something like that one day
Yeahh, but one day is not good enough - in reality that means: Never.
That’s a blazing tweed tone!! You should feel proud!! I think I’m going to build a smaller blackface kit.
Plug the resolectric into that and throw down some wicked slide when you get home!
Very cool!
I did a Metro JTM 45 build in 2010. I’m proud of myself ..and it sounds killer
With the guy's from Metropoulus amps ?
No but their tutelage,their instructions easy to follow but did hit a couple of snags and between the forums and their help I got it done ...
I built electrical components for streetcars, and it was never this cool. Well done brother!
Awesome!!!!!!!! Brother
Happy New Year!
Just a tip. Jensen speakers take a long time to break in. Probably due to the weak magnet. When they do break in they are great. Many guys think they stink and replace them right away. Give them time. The complex highs and more lows will come. I have 2 and the second one is taking longer than expected to sound like the 1st one. 5e3 is the greatest circuit ever. A couple minor tweaks to make it rip. I swapped first 2 coupling caps to .02uf to minimize low end fart and added a grid stopper PI input resistor. Also, I tweaked/reduced my tone control cap to taste because the original value steals too much mids and gain. Just wanted top end to reduce. Great to see guys building these. Everyone needs one.
Nice job!
Good job man! Entertaining video too :-)
SO awesome....I would love to do that someday...I have built guitars and very small amps but never a fully functional big amp like that...excellent job
Yeahh, but some day is not good enough - in reality that means: Never.
Kim Hansen I only say someday because the funds aren’t there yet. I have other responsibilities more pressing atm
@@madbam Sorry.
@@kimhansen6384 No worries...all good
...very cool...thank you 👍
Great video!
I took this course about a year ago in Baltimore, Md at a friend’s local repair shop. Same course, amp, and instructors. It was a great course for a beginner. I’ve built amps prior to and after this course but it was nice to have the instructors for questions, ideas, etc. I highly recommend the course for anyone looking to getting started in the hobby. It’s extremely rewarding to play through an amp your built yourself. There’s nothing like it. Good video man. Great job.
Would love to see a video of how it sounds now. Do you still like it and would you do it over? Thanks for posting. Thinking about taking the class in November here in Nashville.
I would love to do this!
I even know how to solder.
Word to the wise: Don’t try to build an amp naked.
That’s awesome
your very own handwired amp
Great
I almost signed up for that class at MIGA! I missed out on meeting RJ!
lets see if it works? fugg dood that sounds great!
Great amp! I love building MT tweeds. Just finished a Princeton. Sold all my PCB amps. The tone of these Leo designs is amazing. What other amps are you going to build RJ? BTW swap out that piddly Jensen for a bright Celestion and it will sound, play, feel better
It works!!!
nice build man I sure do wanna do this myself, basically get the class for like $200
Cool beans!
Dude, nice! I think everyone should build at least one amp in their lives. The only one I regret building was a point-to-point wired Soldano. It worked fine, but I could never get rid of 100% of the RF interference... PCBs exist for a reason 😭
Exactly. Wire dress is so important, once you up the gain anywhere. I have seen some beautiful PCBs, mostly Motherboards, but with glorious ground planes and surface mount parts that no amount of hand skills could approach.
A sloppy 5F1 with nothing but a speaker to amplify its flaws, otoh, what could go wrong?
My 5E5 worked but I know now that somebody else needs to do this for me. Like if I had to entertain a stadium full of people, I would call R.J.
and i will, what happens if i can't go to the mojotone facilites... with all the questions resolved at the moment, "if someone from mexico" for example, screw up some step , can you have some kind of support?
@@gaspas That's the flaw. No one to QC your work
so cool!
It looks great!! Thanks so much for the video! Did you write the music? I hope to do this too!!
Very cool :)
