Keep in mind that the supplied cable with Pyle-Pro has a 1/4" TS, so it is unbalanced, and your mic will remain unbalanced if you use it. You can modify the cable with an XLR end, or a TRS connector (or buy a balanced cable). I'm not sure whether or not the capsule positive (red) terminal must connect to pin 2 (hot) to maintain phase balance. I don't think it matters on a dynamic mic like the PP, so either capsule terminal can go to hot. Does anyone know for sure?

Sir i cant thank you enough for your video. I fixed my HK amp "for now" exact same issue . I may try to unload it . At least it will kick the can down the rosd a little longer!

Good to know this is normal! Cheers. :D

I have three of the older Kustom 200 amps. Two are bass versions and the other has reverb and vibrato. The RVT 200 has it's original 2 x 15" cabinet loaded with two Altec 421 speakers. I replaced the power supply capacitors in all of them and one has been converted to a three prong power chord. I was amazed at how bad the controls are on this amp in the video but that is probably attrited to the amp being improperly stored I see this a lot in Florida where unfortunately live now. Amps, both hifi and guitar should NEVER be stored in a non climate controlled environment unless you want the thing to develop serious issues.

I was just sent the link to this video. I once owned this very amp and played it a lot of gigs wiith it. I sold it to the guy who sent it to you for repair probably about 10 years or so ago. That thing has some stories to tell! I used it exclusively for bass. It has a fantastic growl. I do miss it. Bet bass amp I've ever owned. Great seeing it apart and backup and running properly!

You were driving me crazy trying to raise the tonearm when it was locked and then you pushed it down while the lever was in the raised position. Did you push some damping fluid out? I couldn't finish watching the video.

These things sound a like AM radio station

Thanks for the video. I got one similar as that, the SL-2 ,but I could not remove the arm to clean it.

Olá, essa caixa tem o alto falante de quantas polegadas ? E são quantos watts rms?

Peavey Black Widow

My first amp in 1975. One channel, reverb overdrive knob, but I always wanted a bandit

Nice job. Still curious why the hole was drilled through the logo? Some mysteries will never be solved.

What were you able to sell it for? Just picked one up and wanting to know how much to insure it for on my gear insurance. Thanks!

I love Gibson however these are junk.....

Thank you for posting this 🫡🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤘🏼

Pretty basic system. Didn't hear you test the Reverb. Was my first PA in about 1971 and we soon found that it was severely under powered for what we wanted it to do. Didn't use the Shure cabinet speakers and opted to use 2 4X12 Columns later adding Altec horns on top(811s?). Shure couldn't drive that stuff for sure(retrospect) Got a mixing board(4channel) and a Phase Linear 400. Then of course we had to build Altec A7s. Shure was good for small gigs. But Rock? No way

Very helpful, thank you DK

Hi, my Crate BX 100 which i bought used, starts to buzz and crack and the volume fades when the amp is warmed up after playing some time. It does not happen all the time, and i have not tried it in high volume. The sound just crack and fade and then comes back. I sprayed electrical contact cleaner on the master volume pot and the buzz didn't appear for few months but now it's back.

I have a Samson expedition xp112a when I plug it in the fan comes on but the power light remains off any suggestions?

Dr. Frank / MTX forever ❤.

After having this amp for half a year, I've named it "Lucky Badger". This guitar amp is weird in a good way, and I can't think of anything else that sounds quite like it.

I've got a Home Theater amplifier which has this issue. Max draw is 12 amps. Every product I see like this tops out at 6, 8, or 10 amps. Somebody needs to make a big one!

This video is incredible! Subbed!

I have one, and it sounds really distorted and bad, I checked the cone and its not the issue, any advice?

Very interesting video...I have a Bugera 1960 Infinium tube amp 150 watt...When i switch on it thumps and pops so i make sure it is turned down low for around fifteen minutes to warm up and stop popping. But at times it will pop a couple of times when i play through it even after an hours playing...What can cause that ?? regards

Hello, I have an old solid state Crate B10 xl bass amplifier that has a single circuit board that’s fairly simple, I’ve been trying to get it working again for a couple of years now. I was playing it and suddenly zero sound but it still powers on. Even if I touch the aux or move the knobs there is no sound. I’ve confirmed that the speaker itself is still good and so is the fuse. There is no sound from the headphones input, there is no visible signs of anything that got hot or shorted. All the wiring is good. The aux inputs are clean and have good contact. I e even re-soldered all the points in case of any cracked soldering but still nothing. I’m suspecting the output mosfet but I can’t tell for sure, I’d appreciate any suggestions.

Interesting the chip is 32 watts. How can they pass this as a 45watt amp?? Would it be possible to put in a 45watt chip if available?? Btw, great video!!

Or anyone else I believe wires were crossed afraid to power on. Thanks if you can help??

Hi i have the exact same system do you have a pic of the inside wire connection on the circuit board show fan and switch and gnd connection

My super champ x2 keeps cutting in and out driving me nuts

Thank you for this excellent video! I just picked up a 520 and I, too, am noticing the adjustment knob needs to be ~3 cents flat. It did not occur to me to use a reference pitch to determine this. It seems most notes require the same adjustment, so I will leave the adjustment knob at -3 cents. Thank you, again!

I have amassed some peavy's and a lot are kind of flat. They can easily be .misused. played loud on the speaker,driven with pedals,or perhaps played for very long periods of time in one sitting and driven hot. So yeah most of mine have issues. Quite a while ago though I had a studio pro that I ran with a tubes reamer ts 5.the sound tank jobbie. Great screwball setup. My saturation would be low and perhaps my tone stack a bit bassy but I would use the tubes reamer not so much to drive the amp but to enhance it. Like a treble booster. Between the clipping of the pedal and the clipping of the amp (light clipping) there would be tons of character. I liked the Peavy mainly because it was durable and it's like you just turn it on and it's on. Bam go. Really no fiddling around. I really need to get into fixing amps. One thing I realized about these is the pots are carbon composition and they deteriorate. I wouldn't mind outfitting them with a more quality potentiametre (however those things are spelt)

Needs to be serviced by a mesa boogie technician

No. The tremolo is fucked. It's supposed to be way stronger. I had the same issue. It's supposed to be WAY stronger.

Thanks for this video, this was the first and last one I found with this problem. I learned which preamp tube is for which channel. I got the same problem on my VK212 , but at my amp it was the overdrive channel tube, had to replace it and it worked. (To test I switched the clean preamp tube with the one from the Overdrive). Write here to let now other people which are searching for this problem.

I got one of these from my high school years ago. Unearthed it about a year back and it now plays my Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran records just fine. Crazy to think those artist were not born when the unit was built. Thank you for showing this example off!

My first guitar amp that I got in 1986. Along with a Harmony Les Paul copy.

I tuned many pianos with one of those in the 80's & 90's. It does a great job but you have to be able to use your ear as well.

an informative video thank you for sharing your knowledge.. now I feel more competent with the valve amp..

👍👍

I have one of these. You almost never see them brought up, let alone for sale. Sucker is heavy too.

I have one of these a friend gave me. He is the original owner. I love it, works & sounds great!

I have the 212 version and the lead 12 combo and the mosfet lead 100 head and these are the best amps for the money built to the same quality as jcm800 series with the same components

The top handle denotes 1981-1984

Спасибо, бро! Привет из Сибири!

"The more you know..."

Never forget: That sneaky little imp Murphy will "gotcha" if you're not considerate. See "Murphy's Law", not a TV show.

I've got exactly the same amp, so this video is a real help. Thank you. The amp was given to me by my brother back in the late 80s. I'm in the process of restoring it. The lead dress on this amp you restored is extremely neat.

Looks good. Sounds good. (As far as I can tell with laptop speakers and tin ears... ;) )
