I 100% agree that most builders are building amps that are really copy and paste from days of yore. Phil is perhaps living in a bubble where what he does, regardless of the truth of it, is perceived as gospel. He has gotten away with it for so long that even he believes it. Matchless amps from the 90's were works of art, but that doesn't mean that they were the best actual design for the circuit as a whole. The sound became sought after, but what a user doesn't know can't hurt them right? When I build an amp, I want it to be right first, and it needs to sound good too. I have come to find that you can pretty much have your cake and eat it too, you just have to be willing to look away from others' designs. Build it right, and if it sounds great too, you win. Warping panels and burning up tubes is NOT COOL. I don't care how good it sounds, it has to be sustainable.
Another great video! Thanks! 😎👍
I love listening to experience. Your attention to detail and your infinite patience is what distinguishes you from the others. Thanks.
Your voice is so deep and soothing
Your knowledge never ceases to amaze me!
If the buls are using heater 6.3 volts, you can look into pin ball machine parts and get LEDs that will fit in the bayonet bulb sockets. I use them in old transmitters and the work with no heat. You might check that out for these amps to reduce some heat.
Lyle; I had one of these that was made in 1994. What I found was that the amp in the output section was over filtered. I installed value of the caps used in the JMI version of the AC30’s and I installed a Mercury Magnetics version of a Woden output tranny. That made the amp really sing. I got the amp in a trade with one of the guys who had worked there. In fact I think Phil actually finished putting the amp together. I ended up trading it for a 1964 AC30 that a friend of mine still owns. He’s in Manchester, U.K. and uses it all the time!
Love this video! Not to 'defend' Matchless, they need no defending, but you and I are old enough to remember when the
It seems like most off-the-shelf EL84 amps run the tubes as hot as possible, just because that's how the AC30s were....
Seems there reaches a point of diminishing returns with some these more elaborate PTP wired amps......regarding access & serviceability. They are suppose to be easier to find and fix component failures. Love this channel.......
Wish you lived closer to Utah! I have a couple amps that I would love gone through and made bullet proof
Love the video . I am a little biased when it comes to matchless because I love my laurel canyon more than anything I have ever had owned but I understand why matchless won’t change the circuit from the original design people are so hung up on the 90s era matchless that if anything changes from that era they will just have something to pick and pry that matchless amps built today aren’t the same as the old amps. Keep up the great videos !
"I did it! I finished designing my ultimate AC30 amp! It runs a little hot, but oh well...Hey! These internal LIGHT BULBS should help!"
When you talk about issues with wall voltage now being higher, does this mean these issues are going to affects amps to a different degree in the UK where wall voltage is different?
The question to all Matchless owners who want the ultimate tone is “how high are you running the master volume?” If you’re not at 10 then you’re not getting the ultimate tone so I like this amp techs approach.
Clipping of lav mike or whatever I don't care when I hear that certain amount of gain and color my ears perk and my head turns. There is some type of magic in those back lit control panel and logo amps.
Lyle, I have a 2021 Matchless C30 head and I use a Brown Box (with all of my amps) What input AC voltage would suggest running it on? Thank you for your reply!
Oh my my Oh hell yes honey put on that party dress...
I have noticed you play riffs from famous classic rock recordings & I like that. Do you get your videos demonetized or blocked?
You should make a video showing your face and introduce yourself. Your voice and personality is perfect for this.
