- A brief video demonstrating how to perform a Marshall JVM 410 PCB modification to deal with unstable bias and PCB conductivity causing blown tubes and high tension fuses.
As with many modern PCB-based multi-channel Marshalls, this JVM 410 was blowing the high tension B+ fuse. As recommended by Dr. Tube (drtube.com/en/...) the power tube grid leads (pin 5) were isolated from the PCB to ensure (-)DC voltage reaches the tubes without any possible leakage from the other tube socket leads.

Additionally, a filter choke was added (see the link below on how to install). The filter choke helps smooth out the B+ which feeds the preamp tubes and helps reduce a lot of the noise from the OD channels.
Also if you like my channel and this video on amps, I suggest subscribing to the following awesome channels:

Uncle Doug has tons of other videos, probably the best teacher on TH-cam regarding amps
-The Guitologist: / @theguitologist
Brad runs an all-around great channel, loves to work on wonky stuff as well
-D-lab: / @d-labelectronics
Terry is likely the best electronics technician working to repair tube amps on YT
