Love my 68 Super Reverb

These are good donors when price is low. I turn them into 5E3 tweed deluxe.

let's talk about the older fender amps that use a metal mesh instead of the sheetmetal.

Are you anywhere near Toronto? If so I may have a project for you if you are interested

Awrsum Had many Trayors being only several hours from Canada. 🙂

Just curious if this is a hardwired version or circuit board. There seems to be a lot of different versions of these re-issues. Thanks

My grandpa has a degree in electronics and also woodworking me and him decided to buy one of these and we turned it into a classic 50s style tube amp we also switched the switch for a toggle we took out the gain knob I have a RCA 12AU7 tube in the preamp and a 6V6 like all my tube amps have

I've got a 6V6 YBA-2B in the tall skinny case. Original except for the filter cap, tubes, an extra handle, and a missing that H-panel on the back with the data tag. It's a rare beast, sounds fantastic, I bought it for $300 back in 2003. I need to sell it. Do you have any idea what i should be asking for it today?

Perfect cut! Which contact cement are you using to attach the tweed/tolex to the wood?

crazy man

THIS is the PROPER technique (i.e., the way Fender has always done it) for finishing off the corners on a tweed amp. You'll see several YT videos by guys (who should know better) doing it the improper way - which is cutting the fabric at a 45-degree angle, resulting in a tacky corner that looks just like a wrapped present. Not good! For further reference as an example of the correct way, just pay particular attention to the corners of any new Fender tweed amp. Fender figured out from the get-go how to do this to achieve a very elegant, neat, finished-off look. This is the more difficult way to do it (because you're cutting right along the narrow curved-over transition between two opposing 90-degree surfaces), and that's why most guys "cheat" and just fold over the fabric like you would on a Christmas present wrapping. You NEVER want to be gigging with one of these things (esp. with their lack of corner protectors) in anything but a very controlled environment, and that's why they fell out of favor. But they are truly a work of art when done right.

Thank you!

You've done a bang-up 'Frankenstein' job on this amp. But, unlike the good doctor, what you made is actually more beautiful! 😂 I seem to be obsessed with this device, because it both is, and is not, a modeling amp (the 'little brother' to this amp, the Frontman 20g, can make every sound this one does, minus the effects.) The way it's flying off the shelves, it seems that Fender really hit onto something.

Garnet with that overdrive? Get outta here. So good!

Thousand thanks! The trick didn't work out perfectly for me but at least I knew what the cause was!

I just bought one from 1990, it's getting here on Sunday. Can't wait!

I have a Fender solid state head and for the life of me I cannot get the darn thing out. I mean it's not budging. I don't know what it is but this is just another great tip. Thanks!

Thank you very much! I have to plan ahead and you explained what I want to know in this critical detail.

Sounds amazing. Those and Pepco are really good amps.

Hi mate, thanks for the video, it sounds great! What are the main differences do you feel there are in changing the rectifier tube to a 5AR4?

Dear I have one doubt I have one solid state guitar amp for use in apartment its have 20W, 10¨ pol speaker, but its sounding so muddy, it have a lot of bass, and the middle control it seems work high middle frequency. I cannot found any schematic online what I can do. Thanks

That's a really nice look with the brown tolex.

THANKS..

Thanks for the great video!!! It's hard to find anything on these guys.... Great amps!!! It's amazing how many little companies there were that made these really cool little vintage amps that nobody's heard of!!!

WILL YOU PLEASE SHOW US HOW YOU INSTALL THE CENTER PIECE ON THE FENDER AMP CORRECT. NO ONE SHOW HOW IT IS DONE PROFESSIONALY.

All so unique and wonderful. A more realistic comparison could have been demonstrated by placing the SM-57 directly on-axis to each speaker at say, a meter distance. That would remove some of the microphones placement variables such as its directionality and proximity effect from the equation. Great video :)

Is paul a member of your band?

Howdy eh! 🇨🇦

Does the 15 watter hang with a drummer also does it need to have the 2-prong cable changed to 3-prong?

👍🏻

I have 1989 BB RI and it at full volume is not even close to as load as my 59 LTD Bassman gets. Tests ok, kind of nice, but I can play between 3 and 5 its tolerable.

What’s the guitar volume set to?

Wow, I have 304a with a 10 inch Jensen special design speaker. The chassis is dated March 18 1963

I actually prefer the sound of the solid state Traynor! (and I'm somewhat of a tube snob)

have you ever covered anything similar to this is tweed? If so, how hard would it be?

Nice showcase. The Garnet was a monster.

Is this the actual tweed or the vinyl version the reason I ask is I am at the point of covering my Champ clone and the non tweed fabric is much less money and I was wondering if it looks as good. the video is great thank you.

pine amps are overrated if you ask me they just don't have that warm pleasing-to-the-ear tube sound like a fender champ but old traynor and garnet amps are fantastic and I once had an old "Lero" brand, Canadian-made amp it was tall and big enough to be a 2X12 but it had like 1x8 speaker LOL but it had that warm tube sound all day long

Great video. I have this amp and replacing the baffle is first up. Thanks!

Do you have to use a stereo cable for input?

Back in high school (1973), I had the '65 M15A with two 12" Jensen's in it, absolutely fabulous amplifiers. I bought it, a 1967 Baldwin "Baby Bison" guitar and a lap steel guitar (from the 50's), for $400.00. Being a stupid 17 yr. old, at the time... I didn't realize what I had... traded it for a 72 Fender Bandmaster a year after I got it. i would love to find another one.

As far as tone and overall sound ,, I gotta go with the first Pine / Paul amp.. It has a very sweet tone .. At least in my ear pods 🤷‍♂️

A really excellent little amp - vrsatile and not over-compliocated but with enough options to keep anyone happy if they want to experiment. The idea of replacing the soundboard for the speaker sound like an interesting thing to try.

Love these amps! Try not to say "weeber". Respect Canada.

Nice I have the revolution 1

Isn't this more of a speaker comparison than anything else? The only fair comparison would be to run them all into the same speaker setup.

Wow didn't expect that 🤔 I liked the lefco best not as ice pickey

Is it for sale?

nice! I just built one of these with the same transformers....what values did you use in the power supply dropping resistors?.....what were your voltages?......my power section is high but I got the preamp and phase inverter close to original voltages......mine breaks up very early at like 3 or so....I think I will need a weaker V1 tube....any thoughts or pointers would be great....,thanks

Great amp! Question: the on-screen specs mention 2x10 1258k speakers. Is that a typo? I'm guessing it's 1028k? Regardless, I already own multiple amps, but man... I love 2x10 amps like this and I'm very tempted! The normal channel mod is great, I usually don't use the normal channel, but I'd totally use this.
