I always go back to single coil for clear treble boost that into overdriven tubes? rock and roll

I have a question. What kind of switch is in the push/pull pots in my guitar? Is it double pole single throw? I don't know differences between switches.

My Silvertone 1482 uses a 6X4 (well, the tube is 6X4WA... not sure what the "WA" is). The wattage on this amp is inconsistently published, but I'm safe to say it's under 25 watts. I have this routed through a load box into the Pod Go instrument input, effectively making my amp both a bedroom level cabinet as well as a big-honkin "drive pedal" in front of the Pod-Go (all of which is "yummy"). As for the caps... I thought one day I might try my hand at building a tube amp, but decided against it: "Step 1: make sure you bleed the caps or you might die". I decided to not approach step 1.

Should I spend $40 more dollars to get a 25W amp or should I just get a 15W amp?

Why is this suddenly at the top of my recommendations RUclips?!? 😂

I always wondered why metal guys bought super high gain amps and then stick a completely way over the top distortion on the cleans. Like if you bought a Mesa theres enough gain in the dirt channel already lol

Santanas tone?

I have built a guitar with 4 courses of octave paired strings. I could not find a pickup with pole pieces at the correct spacing. A blade pickup solved the problem. There is another option, the stacked humbucker, as used in Burns guitars from the 60's. When the factory closed in the mid-60's, Golumbs of Glasgow in the Saltmarket bought the entire factory stock. I bought one of those pickups and fitted it into the sound hole of my Eko Ranger 6.

Is the 7 watts of the or 15 too loud for bedroom practice? Am afraid it will be louder than my 20 watt micro dark terrror head

will it help with emi noice ?

peck up

LOL Another "beginner amp" claim. No. It is a low cost amp with some features.... which can be, and IS, used by people of all experience levels. You even say so in the video.

20 watt is the sweet spot does just about everything

Donnerrrrrrrrrrr Guitarrrrrrrr

Why is it no one can tell this doesn't make any sense???? Everyone explains this like this like it makes sense... but HOW can the cable know what noise is versus the signal and invert the signal back and forth to ONLY remove noise??? HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO... it doesn't

Orange Master Bugera Slave Drive lmao

first we'll need a breadboard and a butterboard

Been wanting to diy one of these for awhile

Do you (or anybody reading) know what the different model numbers on the JA-60 refer to? When you referred to them as Jazzmaster pickups in the video I got a bit confused because was sure when I bought mine a few years back they were advertised as P90's. Having checked the Thomann website I now see that the description of the pickups on the CC and OW models are "JM Alnico 5" whereas the SB pickups are "Alnico 5 vintage style p90 single coils". Are these different descriptions correct or are the pickups essentially the same?

good stuff 🎸🎸🎸

make Rocktron Austin Gold video please

the back tire on my motorbike was done in one season. my only tube amp is a 5 watt class-a EL-84, I use a large plate pre-amp tube and run enough boost that all the clipping happens in the power amp. ( because it sounds better to me ) do you think I will get a year out of my 7189? ........ I have to have ways to cope, and if that's more tires and power valves then so be it.

I’d love to wind pickups

2 minutes 10 seconds: “Fu**er”. Ha ha genius!!

Hi Colin! Question regarding hooking up additional speakers. Assuming we are connecting loads with appropriate impedance values, what would be the impact on the output/tone/volume of the amp when hooking up a single cab like at 4:05 versus hooking up two cabs at 6:05 ? Since the amp still has the same amount of watts, are we effectively splitting the amp's power in half?

No. Your huge mistake was that haircut. Awesome channel. Keep up the good work.

Just be on with it get your tissues out and listen to yourself while you do you do best

Reddish you’ve mixed the amp with you computer useless idiot

I had this exact same guitar and it was TERRIBLE! Sharp frets and scratchy frets, would never stay I tune, bridge fell out when I removed strings,and those god awful pickups! I went as far as everything and tried to sand it down and repaint it because it feels like plastic and that’s where the problems started. The cap on this thing was impossible to get smooth and my paint job turned into a complete mess! Then I started looking at parts to get it up to a decent level and quickly realized that a set of decent pickups were going to cost more than the guitar cost to begin with, not even counting all of the rest of the parts! Needless to say I trashed this thing and I’ve not made the mistake of listening to others claiming that “Harley Benton is amazing” again!

Mike Campbell loves using his Fender Princeton, which is 15 watts.

What musician was asking?

oh forgot to mention i'm a metal guy, and all my guitars are equipped with emg's.... the emg81 in the bridge is used 90% of the time in my tone

Hey Colin, I'm thinking about getting this head to power 2 16ohm marshall 4x12's and i was wondering how does the clean sound hold up when you crank it up to earplugs levels? does it distort/clip? & how loud does it go? will it keep up with a mesa dual rectifier in a club/venue? I'm currently using a joyo zombie 2 thru a 4x12 and it gets drowned out. If i turn up it clips and sounds awful. It is only like 20/25 watts though, So I'm hoping since this can power 2 16ohm 4 x 12's it'll give me the power i need to not get drowned out and maintain killer tone.

Bought one because of this vid. Thank you for what you do. Cheers!

I have a Randall RG100ES and I've wondered how Channel 2 handles gain and distortion. When playing chords, it seems to choke out on notes that are not perfect 5ths. What is it about the circuit that makes this happen?

This is now a new idea, but the resurgence of low watt combos makes it a manageable thing : I wonder how common it is to have a couple of amps in a live rig, for dedicated clean and dirt.

this video is full of misinformation. theres absolutely no way anyone can tell between a hand wound and robot wound pickup.

nice to see that you didnt scrape of the stickers too. most of the restorers would paint this body with a new one, but you actually prioritized what had to be done and left the rest as it was. the guitar is not made new, its 'restored' with its old recognition. +respect from me.

Aye, test and you may find faults. Avoid, and you'll play, at least for a while. And strumming your guitar many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the songs from this day to that for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our manufacturers that they may take our warranty, but they'll never take our precision in testing! Sorry, had to do that 😂 🇦🇺 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I always pair low wattage valve amps with high sensitive speakers.This gives a load more headroom and volume.

Ive had a ns-2 for a decade and only recently learned that it's not just a mute pedal lol.

I'm a week late, but PLEASE keep the tubular videos coming, I've been mesmerized by the hot, glowing tubes/valves (valves inside tubes?) since I first saw them as a laddie in the early 1960's, when my dad's Fischer receiver used tubes. Tubes with valves inside them cooking are fascinating to me, because I can SEE the electrons going through the circuit, and I can FEEL them. Of course I was the weird kind of child that watched records going around for hours, turning down the volume so I could hear the music coming off the grooves (and I still love it). Uncle Doug, Psionic Lyle, and now this channel are my favorites. Three different personalities, three different perspectives, three beautiful minds...

Epic tone and stellar shirt, dude!

10:28 Hi Colin, I searched your channel and wasn't able to find that video, but perhaps i missed it. I was curious how adding additional speakers affects volume and/or loudness under the same amplifier conditions. For instance, on the Rocker 15, what would be the impact of hooking it up to a 2x12 vs a 1x12? I read that the additional speaker would add 3db - is that accurate? Love your work and your videos!

Now I have a much greater appreciation for pickups and their subtle differences! I had no idea there were so many variables involved, all affecting the sound in their own way. Beautifully explained too!

We all make mistakes dude, its OK, I trust you because you admit them.

Nice Video and Demo. However, i own that pedal and it is not cool.

Will a presence pedal help if the amp lacks this?

The MKI unit was very unreliable, failed easily and Orange didn't provide any repair support, we had 2 of those units in our amp repair workshop and both failed and become unusable. I don't know if they fixed the issues with the MKII unit, but be careful, a Tester that you cannot trust is completely useless
