  Hi Derek, I have a frontman 212r, the drive channel seems really loud at a low setting (1 or 2) any ideas what could be causing that?

  @@DustyKorpse that's pretty much normal. It's been a common gripe about the Frontman series that there's not enough fine control at low volume. It can be modified by playing with some resistance values but it's not easy. Most guys go the easy way by using a foot volume.

  Thanks a lot Derek, 28 screws later everything is fine again. In my case one F calculated the velocity wrong. If I pushed very slow, it was quiet, everything else was always max. Some small pice of something on the contacts was easy to see. It seems like the first repair of a Stage 2EX, which was built in December 2015 (so the stickers inside tell).

  Oil Filter 13 Ft Lbs. use thin layer of oil on rubber gasket of filter. Drain Bolt 21 Ft Lbs. use new crush washer. Recheck oil level after starting as oil filter is empty. Never check oil on pit or center stand. (Note: Oil filter hand or just beyond hand tight and drain bolt snugged up works just fine) BTW-excellent video!!

  Hey man, I have the same fender 212r and Squier duo that you had in the vid! But I think something is wrong with it. Whenever I plug in a distortion pedal and crank the distortion past twelve o'clock the more drive yellow light kicks on and it sounds like I dropped by guitar on the floor and starting stomping on it. This sound continues for a good 5-10 seconds then stops. Except I didn't play anything or drop my guitar and stomp on it lol. My conclusion is a bad cable because it doesn't happen when I play with my new cable. But I don't know for sure and I'm not an expert. Anyways great video and hope you can help me man!

• 
  @DerekHerbst747Ай бұрын

  That's a weird behaviour. Probably you're right about the cable but I'd check the soldering of the big resistors as described in the video. It's still the most likely cause of your noise, possibly in the early stages. Good luck 🤞

  Very interesting. 👍👍. At under 10,000 miles that's quite early to change spark plugs and air filter. To be honest, that air filter didn't look bad, just surface dirt but when you flipped through the filter the inner paper looked clean. The electrodes on even the new spark plugs looked very thin. 🤷🏼‍♂️. Anyway, better safe than sorry.

  This is a most excellent presentation. I've sent the link to a number of fellow ham radio operators. I have a VTVM that I use to calibrate voltage-controlled oscillators when I repair radios as a digital meter cannot integrate quickly enough at radio frequencies. I prefer the VTVM to an oscilloscope for this purpose.

  Thanks for the Kudos. I have taken another look at the video, which is an unedited, "warts and all" video, and have been contemplating making a cleaner version, (maybe a series of videos) to better explain the function and design. I will probably do that using a FET VOM, which is very similar.

  @@DerekHerbst747 That sounds very good. I need to find the schematic for my VTVM and also change out the rest of the capacitors. I don't own a FET VOM and should probably add one to my collection. Most of the time, I use my Rigol DMM for measurements, but DMMS don't integrate fast enough for RF - this fact is lost on most of the younger players.

  Can you comment on the input resistance and/or impedance vs. input frequency of the meter at the various scales of the ohms and voltage, both ac and dc, functions? Thanks.

• 
  @DerekHerbst7476 ай бұрын

  The meter has a constant 1.4 Megaohm input impedance for AC and 11 Megaohm for DC. The AC voltage accuracy (5% FSD) is not as good as the DC (3% FSD) because the wire wound resistors in the Range selection circuit have an inductive element, which skews the AC measurement with varying frequencies. The stated frequency range for 3% accuracy is 30Hz - 500kHz. Some manufacturers include parallel capacitors in the range select circuit resistors to offset this phenomenon.
