The Aminor Pentatonic, I have a Twin; 2 BandMasters, a Vibrolux, and a BassMan! Thanks, I need to clean up Scratchy Pots.

[@peterlorrequartet6559]

thank YOU for sharing....my tolex cleaned up "like a champ"....uh...a twin, that is. Really appreciate you sharing your know-how!

[@milestoneroadsongs]

Very good video. Thank you for posting. I am going to be selling a 69 Fender Champ silver face soon. Good condition but needs a little cleaning. Glad I found your video.

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Good luck with the sale!

[@MatthewMcClellan]

Thank you for this. Just the job that I need to do on my '79 Twin.

[@tagacale1733]

Clapton’s champ was actually the tweed 5F1 ones from the late 50s . These silverface are still cool. I’d do a cap job and remove the death cap and 3-prong cord for safety

[@riffafrank]

Good job man. I used to clean my amps and cables with armour all... Next time I will try cleaning them with a mix of simple green and Murphy's soap oil with a small soft brush. Armour all is sticky, messy and it doesn't stay shinny very long. Thanks for the video.

[@RunningSD]

so satisfying cleaning under the handle

[@Leon-uy7xi]

Merry Christmas Sir Perf!!!

[@mondskiez309]

I just did exactly that a few hours ago.. hit my marshall amp and jackson guitar pots, woohoo.. holiday cleaning indeed for us.. keep on rockin'..

Sarap sa tenga idol. Happy holidays y’all!

[@scottym3]

I just got a 78 from ebay an hour ago. hope to have it by the end of next week. can't wait to start cleaning it up and may look into what it takes to change the tolex, a few rips here and there. but all in due time.

[@danielragtv4705]

Nice sir perf i love it😍

[@kwnativechickenfarm7236]

Idol, merry christmas, galing nyo po, marami akung natutunan sa iyo, god bless, more videos.

[@dalefrancisco3912]

Merry Christmas guys! 🎄🎉🍻

[@rrr00bb1]

i had a mixer for which it was too hard to get inside to the back of the scratchy pots. just spraying deoxit from the front (between knob and the metal post), twisting, and making sure it seeped in worked very well. i had scratchy guitar pots, and a tube preamp that got moisture in storage as well. it worked wonders.

[@ermonski]

Yep contact cleaners work well and extend the life of the pots for a few years. However when it gets scratchy again, replacing the pot breathes new life into it!

[@rodel71]

Ang ganda ng tunog... ayus

[@NG-pl3ru]

Merry christmas sir hehe.

[@J.P.Walker]

Awesome video! I've got to clean 22 pots on my Laney TF400 and it seems danting... Great tip on the Armourall wipes The geek in me wants to know what overdrive you were using... (guess Ibanez TS 9) God bless and keep the videos coming

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Close! It's a Mythos Herculean which is a TS-style pedal

[@thememoriesrising]

Ahhh! Very nice amp! Sounds Organic! I wonder what' kind of capacitor they use on that one. I got a plexi-amp and couple of other amps completely modified by SoZo Amplification , John Gaynor. It all sounds Fantastic! but your Silverface champ is a different beast! I love it bro! have fun with it. Do some recording, and let us hear what it sounds. Thank you.

[@philmateo8242]

i like the rolling of sandpaper. reminds me of......

[@gorgatzm1898]

More about sand paper rolling please. . ;)

[@amoj2188]

Pa request namn mo po sa reaksyon niyo sa video ni RB about 214 means Merry Christmas 🎄

[@jaysorensenIBEW]

I'd like to compliment you what with the fact that you don't insist on saving three seconds [lol] using a DRILL to remove the screws. My god, even my favorite techs do this obsessively. Just to save three seconds time. I watch them spin the bit in the bolts/screws, and cringe every time. These are vintage relics, flolks!

[@jeffrivera6]

sir penge nmn ng advice kng anong distortion pedal dpt ko bilin, pinagpipilian ko revv g3 at g4, trip ko yung mas aggressive na tone ng g4 kaso mas tight dw tunog ng g3..tight enough na kaya yung sa g4? isa pang choice is diezel vh4 pedal, kaso mas mahal..salamat sir.. (^_^)

[@charloneagustin1181]

idol perf! pa request naman pa ako sa next video niyo. tutorial po sana or kahit guitar cover lang po nung sinasabi ni rico blanco na richie kotzen style sa 2nd verse ng 214. Salamat po! sana makita niyo po ito! Merry Christmas! Godbless po😁

[@cheezzy560]

sir perf im already 35 years old. im really fan alternative opm 90s. do you think i can still learn how to play guitarr!? haha i dont really dont where to start? im really wanted go to guitar school but the thing is i only see kids and teens. its like im out place hahaha.

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Never too old to learn. Just make sure to prioritize practice time

[@markkasick]

Do you have a distortion pedal going in any of this pedal and if so which?

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

I was using a Mythos Herculean overdrive towards the end

[@markkasick]

@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro sounds really great. By chance was the amp recapped and what tubes are you using?

[@LorSTApunk07]

Minor gripe. I think that’s mid/late 70s Champ. The Fender grill logo is different on the earlier ones. Looks a lot like my ‘78. Circuit is also the same as Blackface Champs, unlike some other 70s Fenders.

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Hmmmmm... Just going by what my buddy told me. I may dig some more. I did find the inside of the chassis really clean so it may have been already modded

[@LorSTApunk07]

The cabs on the early ones are pine and fairly light. The later ones are made of mdf and a bit heavier. Here’s a serial number reference, also. www.superiormusic.com/page195.htm

[@LorSTApunk07]

Never can fail with a Champ. I had a ‘72 before this one & missed it so much, I bought this one. Phenomenal amplifiers.

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Good catch, just check the serial and it dates to 1978. Oh well, I’ll change the title but can’t change the video lol

[@LorSTApunk07]

Perfecto De Castro Still a great amp.

First comment!

[@seanbarker6478]

There's nothing more irritating than a scratchy knob! By the way Jimmy page used the fender champ to record the lead guitar on most of the first 4 albums!

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

I didn’t know that! I thought he used Vox and Supro in the studio

[@seanbarker6478]

@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro Andy johns who produced led zep 3 and 4 said they used a fender champ with 2 close and 2 distant Mike's to record most of Jimmy pages solos.
