Any preference between the two Mk2 variants? Is there any circuitry difference or purely the electronics vs by jeorge tripps text?

One of the MK2 variants (green LED) is my mk1 AP-2 circuit board inside. The other (blue LED) is stock. I prefer the AP-2. I didn't have one at the time of this video unfortunately

Dude, you totally do not know what you're doing. You have no business working on that amp whatsoever. You should let a professional do it for it to be legal in the United States, any incoming power must be fused. First you go to the fuse then you come off the other side of the fuse and you go to the switch. You come off the other side of the switch with the transformer lead. The other transformer lead hooks directly to the white wire. If you're wanting to hook the receptacle up you come off the fuse and the neutral with two other wires and you will be coming off the ring part of the fuse not the tip you go. Take that to the gold screw on the receptacle you come off the neutral wire and go to the silver screw in the receptacle. Then you have a legal power supply and you need to take your ground wire and take it to a dedicated ground lug by itself. What I do is just solder it straight to the chassis. I don't even put a bolt through there. I just grind a place on the chassis and get a very high wattage soldering iron and solder the ground straight to the chassis and the ground has to be the longest wire of the three. That way if the other two pull out the ground is the last wire to break so it will trip the breaker if it hits metal on the way out. If it gets yanked and that is the way to do it legally, you have no clue about any of that obviously

I find it amusing that your multimeter has copied the yellow color of a Fluke in an effort to trade off their reputation. Fluke have sucessfully sued for this in the past, and I have somewhat fallen for it myself. I own a real Fluke now.

If you build a pedal with the same layout same components just used old version of those same components found from junk like old keyboard tvs etc will it sound the same as a pedal built using real boutique version of the same components
@alexg8233Ай бұрын
The main problem is that old components can be out of specifications due to age. And it makes troubleshooting a nightmare. Most of the time it is not worth it to salvage old components instead of buying new ones.

Nice, adding 5hat "Mid " made it a mini single speaker Twin reverb sound. Well done, still some-thing missing( being really picky) the Fender "Fizz" is present but not as pronounced. Keep tweeking those resistors. I would stop right there, it is usable and deserves a proper place in your bands back-line. The 64 Fender has it's faults but it has the "Instant" plug in and play forever old school amp appeal.

Looks like a work of art . Just heard the "Audio" and it has "Headroom" but lacks just a little if that "Fender" Zingyness, like a mild fizz( not fuzz). I would love to use that amp. We used to mod Twin reverbs by pulling out the reverb send and return RCAs and using them for boost pedal in-out, you lose the reverb but the reverb control on the amp becomes a "Monster" gain control.

Forget the tone sample since it’s an instructional video on HOW to modify but how are you going to touch the capacitors without telling people to discharge or saying, “please don’t touch the parts the way I do…etc.”. You should take the video down.

Some corrections: plate load positions they are RN65 metal films not koa/speer. koas are in some of the cathode bypass positions (reverb) and in the series connections of the signal path. Also those are not 715 series caps throughout, but rather 6ps series, easy mistake they both look very similar. 6ps is polyester 715 is polypropylene. They likely used both but only used the 715 in strategic positions.

I suggest using a 5 watt resistor to be on the safe side. A 5 watt resistor can dissipate more heat than a 1 watt resistor without melting, making it better for discharging a capacitor. A 5 watt resistor can also be rated for at least 2.5 watts of power dissipation, which is safer for discharging a capacitor.

My guess is that you're right and John has something like an Ox Box with custom IR's of each cab. Probably 1 box per amp. The added benefit of using something like that is that stage volume can be reduced without sacrificing tone. I speak from experience of gigging a 100W Victory Super Duchess with a Two Notes unit. Sounded amazing through the house PA and on stage we were able to avoid overly loud volumes, meaning no ringing ears etc. Heck, even Bonamassa has started using them!!

If you watch the full Trey interview that happened right before Phish Sphere run he explains why they can’t have amps 🎤’d up on stage. Because the PA room speakers 🔊 are lining the entire sphere behind the screen and behind the bands stage too, so they can’t have monitors or amps on stage or it will feedback like crazy. All in ear monitors, drums have slight reverb from the house speakers being behind stage and needs those walls but you hear it a little live inside venue too. It’s wild in there and sounds amazing ! Great video and stoked to see the Dead Spec out there too, maybe amps on stage are for him to have some sound /movement or to tweak live but ya no idea how he goes out to PA
