Sorry about the bit with black screen. Not sure what happened.

its quite dark in that reverb tank :)

Caught you on Tone Talk with Dave Freedman.   Happy to see you schmoozing with a guy who really seem to want to see and help you take off with your amp builds.  So cool he actually watches you channel.    Love it!

I recommend people with many amps and techs to get a Orange Divo VT1000 Tube valve tester. It has saved me lots of money and trips to the repair man.

It's also a good idea to make sure the tank is the right way round. The output of the tank doesn't like being near the transformer.

I appreciate you passing along your knowledge and techniques to us!

I have a Princeton reissue that needs the caps replaced. This video gave me the motivation to finally get off my butt and do it. Thanks...

Exactly what owners need. Simple understanding of some issues. With simple solutions.  Proves not everyone doesnt just wants money out of you. 👍👍

Thanks for this, Lyle!  I was able to get my Princeton clone (Clark Kanee) as quiet as my noisy house circuitry (50's house with more recent dimmer switches everywhere) will allow by hot swapping in preamp tubes while I had a dB meter app going on my phone in front of the amp.

Very useful!

The best thing I learned was to NOT poke around in the innards of my amp. There are better ways to teach myself electronics. 😉

Thanks!

Never knew you could drive a speaker from the reverb out!

So grateful to you for your knowledge and expertise but more importantly for taking the time share it with the people and instructing  us on how to troubleshoot and  solve basic issues as well as make more intelligent gear choices based on your experience!

I wish I lived near enough to get my Deluxe Reverb Reissue to you! I’m in UK. Have some Ok local techs near me but no way they take the same care over their with or have the level of expertise you do

Excellent video, always helpful. That board is different from my 99 reissue, i have power and stand by switch and ground switch and my caps are in the bottom in the door house.  Blessings

Nice video.  I've been doing this for 9 dog years.

Tip: Grind the end of the socket flat (remove the round edges), so there is more engagement on those thin nuts.  This reduces pop-offs.  Great videos!! Keep them coming!

Looking forward to the follow up!

Great video.  I am a complete novice to guitars and amps. Im sure someday ill be able to rewatch this and totally get what you are doing to the amp. By the way your voice is incredible 😊

Thanks for making this video. I kept getting told that noise was normal in my 65 re issue. Soon as I get my stuff out of storage I'll contact you about bullet proofing it.

This is great! Thanks!
(also, there's dead air from 4:10 to 4:51)
