A couple of minor things. I believe this amp schematic calls for 20uF/525V even though it looks like Fender shipped 500V. Also, regular silicone, the kind that smells like vinegar, can corrode the components. A better choice is RTV silicone.
I ventured into the comments just to see the whining about IC caps. IC caps are great, I have used them for over 20 years and never seen one blow. Just be sure to select ones with the appropriate voltage rating. The IC caps that come stock in Fender blues deluxes etc die young and this is where a bad rep has emerged. Either the voltage is exceed in these amps or Fender is getting some inferior line in their stock.
Ok, these are cheap caps, OK won't last as long as F&T or Sprague but will do the job and will be replaced easily when needed. It's not a bad choice, it's juste a choice.
I'm surprised that you didn't fix the Power cord. Great video Great Channel 👍👏

It’s amazing how much different this stuff is from modern ultra high precision electronics.
Uhhh IC caps are not great caps. ! Better to use F +T.

Thanks. Not a lot of these videos are so clear and simplified. You kept it to a level which a dumbass like myself can understand.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I'm a player at heart so I try to keep the technical jargon to a minimum. Thanks for watching!
Cant believe you are using IC caps in an amp of this quality. I wouldn't be happy with anything less that F&T
I realize it is kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
What do you use to test your caps?

Didn't you have enough mind to supply electrolytes with a larger capacity? !!
