normal pole piece 2:38 raised pole piece 5:56

I don't hear a significant difference. When it comes to caps, in my experience, what matters is the value, tolerance and reliability. I found that ceramic disc caps are not reliable enough for my taste, everything else is great.

Hey great tone! can this amp do blues stuff or more modern sound oriented? How does it take pedals?

how do we specify we want this tab when ordering a potentiometer online?

100 videos on KZbin discussing adjusting pole pieces… and this is the only one that really matters! Great job!

I wish fender would make the amp like this stock!!!

Hello thanks for this video, greatly useful and passionate. The difference is not so much of the tone, speakers tubes and guitar is doing a lot more but.... My preferred are A and D. You are welcome if you have the exact caps references. I found A the be very pure warm and well balanced. The axial construction, better in the conduction than radial improving dynamic , shows a live experience, the 470pF lower value helps maintaining better bass spectre and warmth? Great A polyester capacitor! I found B more dynamic but harshy and making high frequencies distorsions.No way. I found C to have no definition no précison no warmth and less sustain and being too dirty. Ceramic looks like is not good to my ears? I found D Mica perfect to my ears, warm and well balanced as A, missing just a few bit of A dynamic and clarity (radial construction) but very close and compensating with even warmer tone maybe . Then E Mica is not so bad for sure and very near , a bit darker than D and loosing bit of dynamic clarity maybe. F Mica is not so far from E, more clean and straight maybe due to the 1000V rating but a bit darker, could fit bright amps maybe. G Sozo Mica is even darker than F but maybe has a slight better definition than F but they are so similar in tone. The 1000V rating is improving clarity and large spectre in the Sozo too but maybe is loosing dynamic brightness and clafity. Thanks for this video again

My favorite reverb tank are the old small OC Folded Line ones. They give you a nice wide sweep of usable reverb that's very room-like

the MOD has a pleasant reverb tail and is soft, TAD is almost the same as mod but a bit sharper than the mod, the other two are very transparent and not my taste

Anybody knows if the pole pieces on the Alnico II Custom Humbucker (on my new Enya Sonic) are adjustable? They have now screws.

What mods to the circuit do you need to cater for the 6L6 tubes over the stock 6V6? Presume something to do with biasing?

Just built a Deep Fried Marshbar this weekend. Quite impressed, sounds friggin awesome.

That sounds awesome!

That sounds great. Cant wait to get one!!

Very interesting and thorough comparison. In 2022 I bought a brand new Marshall 50 watt jvm all tube 50 watt amp. Temperature's been stable but free almost a year I couldn't use it and it wasn't a tube, it wasn't a resistor, but a silver Micah capacitor. When I turned on the amp no guitar would go through it but all you could hear is crackling. I think that's a real common sign. Put the engineer told me a capacitor shouldn't act go bad on a brand new amp like that but could have just been faulty soldering. I don't know.

Do you remember what ended up being the issue with no reverb? I’m building a 6g15 and am having an identical issue

Great sounding amp. I can imagine a good fuzz face driving it too.

really surprising: I was prepared to like the MOD and the TAD because I heard so many good things about them and the Accutronics has a bad rep. But I really liked the Accutronics best here; the MOD and TAD sounded boomy and lacked sparkle.

Does this work when applying tweed instead of tolex?

Basically the same type of caps that sound the same. Would like to hear a signal cap shootout with no more than 8 notes in each sample.

A to me had more low end and less spikey highs, still they all sounded close.

Where would you drill mounting holes for the chassis?

Hello. I have a Harley Benton GA5 guitar amp into which I would like to build in a spring reverb. Which I'll take from an old Laney PL50 Reverb Can you tell me where to attach it according to the diagram? I want to build it into the body and mix in the sound of reverb.

Interested to know what type of laser you are using. I have a 60w omtech co2. Looking to make some and was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing some general settings. Thanks.

This is great. But it's one of those videos that if you don't already know how to do this, you won't learn anything from this video.

I'm delighted with mine, shame I cannot send a pic

Hi, does this JCM800 kit come with an fx loop? I love the sound of this amp and how aggressive it sounds, especially with the mods. You guys rock with these kits.

Your wallet is going to know the difference before me.

Thanks for posting this video. I'm about to build a 2x10 and will certainly take this as a reference for a quality build.

I've come to think of a good Marshall sound as chewy and I like chewy!

Is it possible to fit an effects loop on a Vox Cambridge 50?

Did you use any pedals?

Part 2 please! I’m interested in this vs the plexi 45 35w

I just found out my Vox Pathfinder has a one-spring reverb. I always wondered why my 'Verb sounded so much differently than other people's.

Hi, thank you for a video. Can you tell where in circuit did you put caps in?

Bearing ming you are using a Les Paul and the amp settings, that sounds pretty clean and un-farty for a 5E3 (I know, I have one too). Speakers mostly sound similar to me and given the chouice I'd probably go with the creamback neo for it's weight. I have one in a 2x12 with a cream and they sound surprisingly similar.

Sounds baller, definitely has almost everything I want in a low power plexi build. I really may have to pull the trigger on putting the order in...

I came specifically for the piping as opposed to overlapping tolex on cabinets. I found what I was looking for, so thanks for that (".) Subscribed while I was here.

i don't know how people can't hear the difference. If you can't hear the difference, then these amps arn't for you. So many different frequences hits and nuances, extreamly distinguisable. Great video

All imported from Asia. Bummer

Please release a Fender reverb head kit 🙏🙏🙏

is the spring tension on the accutronics the same as the Belton? The Helton one sounde more loose and longer...

Hi, whats the purpose (and value) of the Cap over R30? Thanks & Best!

They were all great apart from the last one, I liked the G12M best as its just " that" sound

I had the Belton and it had horrible feedback… to my ears I hear the beginnings of feedback in this one too… the trails are big, but messy. It’s interesting seeing different people’s tastes posted here. Love my MOD reverb… the Beltran I had misbehaved way to much & the drip was not happening at all

Could you package this unit with instructions for installation?

Im liking it, whats the plate voltage at power tubes? Just curious

B is better

I just received a new modulus chassis today. It was badly scratched and scuffed on the inside. Very disappointing. I can't believe you would sell someone one that looks so beat up. It looks like it was used as a tool tray. I can't imagine my customer will be any more impressed ...

Old video, but I am looking to purchase your Princeton reverb kit to build and am wondering weather it’s possible to perform the same mod you’ve done here preferably without the additional box in the chassis
