mistake you have to use exactly the same recording not many takes .
I did every mod here except for the pentode triode, cause I didn’t find good enough directions to feel competent doing that one. I don’t feel like I have quite as much gain as shown at the end of the video. Maybe the pent/tri mod helps, but I’m a little disappointed and wanting more. Wish I knew what else to do.
Correct me, Coupling cap is used to block dc and allows ac through, what is the effect of the changing of its value?
@@zabtej1645 You can use a higher value to trim some low end. Like a 0.1 uf would be more bass than a 0.022 uf.
@@KleyDeJong Thank you very much! Any ideas for tracing back a noname modded amp, when on the input jack resistor is supposed to be a 80 something kohm resistor, but it measures at 34k? Do these markings matter at all and if the value is not correct, do I have to change to a new component? It's like a 50+ year old amp, was there a color code change since?
For your cakepan deluxe; what is your rectifier choice ?
@@jasonkirkham550 Tube! I believe I currently have a 5Y3
A slight bit of a fuzzy edge with V1 out.
And the Soldano is a JCM800 with higher gain structure on both series tubes along with the gain stage being higher. I’ve modified JCM800 amps for some metal players to a very close level of the Soldano.
Hi, Kley! Awesome video, even some 7 years later! Thanks for the schematic -- do you happen to have a diagram? I'd love to see the connections so I can experiment with the TMB in my 5e3. Thanks!!
I had that same whistling kind of sound and it turned out to be the cable so I chucked the cable and used a different one, problem fixed.
Aloha Kley Moving master volume to the 6V6 grid will cause coincidental bias variation on the output tube. Self leak grid bias should not be variable once set.
Aloha Kley, The 5F1 inputs are a bit more complicated than described. For single jack input, #1 is normal for a guitar. #2 is -6dB (25%) for dynamic microphones etc. However, there no level shift when both are used, they are both at normal level… the normally closed contacts on the jacks reconfigure the input resistance to make that happen.
Look at baby bear!, I have an ISP theta preamp pedal, the red one, you can play death metal on a kazoo with that one, if you dial in the eq solid., and I just recently got an Ibanez pentatone preamp., I’ve heard people complain about the tone of that one, but it’s them, not the pedal, plain and simple, that one destroys planets all day long, single coils or hum buckers., also both have a great noise gate.
Ok…. We might be dorks…. But this video was….DEEEEE..LICIOUS … You didn't even mention “which way do DC electrons flow”… it kind of doesn’t matter .. But the most fun part was Not even a big deal to you…. Just drawing the signal path from the input jack out through the split at the inverter and then out to the output trans….. I recvd two years of electronics training in High School vo-tech….. so long ago…. We used slide rules… And I was SEARCHING FOR THIS VIDEO…. I had most of the concepts but they were covered 50 years of silt. So …I WILL smash the subscribe…just as my sincere thank you. I have a Twin Reverb… because I can’t afford a Princeton… 1976 with the master volume… If “ everybody hates the MASTER VOLUME”…on those Fender amps….Does just turning the MV to ten “ fix the tone suck”?… or how do you mod to bypass that portion of the circuit? Also in the mid 90s ( functionally PRE internet) in an antique store… I bought a 1950s Gretsch amp… it does power on and play… but 1) the trem only responds with one pulse..and then goes steady… I’m guessing that a cap is charging up… but then…??? 2) because of its age… I am afraid that a cap is going to fail and short…and then smoke the amp… so… A) is this a reasonable concern B) is recapping the whole power supply wise or unwise C) I hate the idea of modding an all original amp… but smoking the amp would be worse. Thank you for the inputs…
@@SOLDbyYOU Thank you! I would probably recap it. I think fresh caps make the amp sound better and operate more safely. It is necessary on all vintage amps.
_// Thanks for sharing the video! Let me tell you something important: God loves you! God loves us ! He is no respecter of persons! because God wants us all to be saved! and let's go to the knowledge of the “Truth” God wants to save us from eternal damnation, which we all deserve because of sin, who entered the world through Adam, and death entered through sin, and thus death passed to all human beings, Therefore, we are all “Sinners” But God's Love was so great for us, that he sent his only Son (Jesus Christ), gave him to this world, to die and rise for all of us! No Respect of Persons! so that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ does not go to eternal punishment, but rather has “Eternal Life!” “ Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; and he was buried, and rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures Jesus Christ came to call sinners to “Repentance! “ and, he who believes in Him, has “Eternal Life! “But whoever refuses to believe in Jesus Christ, the wrath of God remains on him. Then, as through Adam's transgression, condemnation came to all human beings, in the same way, through the justice of Jesus Christ, justification of life came to all human beings! All of us who believe in The Only Savior of the world! The Only Mediator between God and us! The Lord Jesus Christ! The son of God! All of us who trust in Him; we have “Eternal Life! “ And we must know that there is salvation in no one else; because there is no other name under heaven, given to human beings, in which we can be saved. Only by Believing/Trusting in “Jesus Christ” can we be Saved! But Jesus Christ also said: Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Therefore, we must be doers of the Word of God! and not only listeners and/or readers, deceiving ourselves. So let's read the Word of God! There is His Will! what God wants us to do! Let us read mainly the Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and let us pray to God, our Heavenly Father, all the days of the life that He gave us! God loves you! God loves us! To Him alone be the Glory Forever! Amen!

The AX8 is a monster modeller !
Doesn't match the Reaper download, and it didn't work.
Why do you do that thing with your mouth while playing?
Dear Mr DeJong. When you went to cover the preamp, why did you trace the HI input to the top of the 3 pin terminal (Header 1 to Header 10)? I own one of these Monoprice15 watters, and all I have is a single instrument input. Can't wait for the speaker to be broken in. Good for the price, it doesn't have an overdrive. It has an adjustable distortion. I have yet to open it up. I will have to see if there's a set of diodes shunt to ground or if it really uses the preamp circuit to push the amp stage. It's funny , I have a little 8 watt solid-state HiWatt someone gave me and it's "overdrive" is a pair of diodes to ground from the 4558 opamp and not in its feedback loop all before the output transistor, hence it's hard clipping or distortion. On the Monoprice, it's sort of nice having it dialable, but I would rather it being switchable and preset the overdrive, er,...distortion.
The music is really good in this review.
Just add an graphic eq pedal in front or in the effects send and you've got most any tone you like- no need to swap out the speaker. I did swap the 3 12AX7's for 3 lower gain 5750s, much happier with a tamed overdrive. kzread.info

why not make both channels sound better and more usable? in v2 i recommend an rca or a ge for an american tone and at v1 you can have a mullard i63 which will sound more like a bassman great for drive and single coils. enjoy!
Hi, do you have any insights to share with regards to what you've learned with the thru hole sizes for various components? Thanks
Hi Kley, great video! I have a question: At the collector there's going to be a DC biasing voltage (of around +3.3V assuming the transistor BETA to be 100 if l did the maths right), so that the amplified signal has headroom and not clip just yet. But then the signal will be almost completely positive in voltage. Is the decoupling capacitor going to literally subtract this 3.3V from the signal or something like that? I get the feeling that the diodes are going to absolutely crush the signal otherwise.
@@ric8248 The decoupling cap blocks the DC voltage used to power the transistor, but does not affect the AC audio signal. The diodes will clip the ac wave form. One on the positive swing. One on the negative swing.
@@KleyDeJong oh l understand.. thanks!
did you connected the gain knob without any eletronic component? direct in the out board and out jack?
hi dear, is there possible to preamplifier a dynamic mic ou a guitar adapting a plug or respective cable? if yes, can wee add tube distortion?
Thanks for posting. I will be experimenting with mine. Just a thought, instead of removing the surface mount components, you could cut the track. That way you could put the circuit back to normal by simply rejoining the track with a bit of wire. Also it would have been good to hear the comparison between the speakers. Great video, thanks.
No BS, just a demo. Thanks! I needed an example of how much proper shielding could reduce noise and you did it!
Muito bom
Very very pleasing sounds there, the best demo that i have ever heard regarding this amp, thankyou.
The best thing is that cute baby
Great playing!
Do you have any wisdom to share for an orange rocker terror 15? I feel like your wizardry would really help it
Your video is excellent. I am repairing a mobility scooter and it came with a two wire pot, the problem is finding a two wire pot is very difficult. So I was hoping someone could explain if a three wire pot could be used and you did. Thank you so much, it was extremely helpful.
Great demo fellow. I remember watching one of your demo's around 10 years ago and it really inspired me to build my own guitars. Thank you !
this is very cool! I want to integrate a fuzz circuit on a squire strat, I think I'll try the bazz fuss
I want to integrate this circuit on a guitar, how well does it clean up with the volume knob?
So the tonestack is after the FX loop? Doesn't that color your post effects? :O
@@GoudVis56667 No and no
Pretty toxic is an understatement. If you don’t use respirator you will get a bad headache. Harbor Freight sells a respirator that works well. I finish neck with a was coat of spray shellac then amber poly with good results.
if you want to impress us all, figure out how to get rid of the hiss white noise, changed tubes to the quietest you can buy - 81db, conductive copper tape inside where the head sits, replaced the rca cable to reverb with insulated shielded cable, just has to be some kind of DYI fix on the pc board to help this lil amp.
With a high quality eq, you can make any of these FRFR's sound great
I made a 30 watt TWreck type and it's a monster, but a load box and some Jenson Alniocos helped tame it and it's pure joy. I had the same issue with it not liking pedals but remedied that.
think its a Laney Lc15
KEEP THAT AMP BROTHER!!!....Wooooooooo Lawddddddd!!!!!!!!
Boy, what a mess!
What tunning is this gutair? E to E?
E A D G B E standard tuning
Behringer clearly produces more noise with electric guitar
I have similar dilemma. Have a hand built TW Express clone. I dont use it often but its such a unique beast that I don't think I could sell it.
😄 I had to subscribe when I saw that amp chasis !!
what is the schematic on xlr connector? what is the capacitor does?
Please if I ever start a company, don't advertise for me. UGH !!!!
Pretty sure he won't have to worry about that.
