Good for you, charity starts at home; one of my father’s favorite quotes! Like most of them he ignored it. Being retired, I work free for friends and also aspiring young people with lots of talent and no money. If I did it for money I would soon lose interest because I couldn’t choose my clients.
I had my amp tech rebuild my '64 Super Reverb, as it had collected a load of junk along the way, from several different techs over the years. I also had him instal and bias a pair of 5881's which sound great. I am amazed at how much better this amp sounds ... I asked him to use Blue SoZos for coupling and tone caps, as well as SoZo silver micas in the treble spots. I also put in a 5R4GY rectifier tube. The amp just sounds amazing!!
Your an amazing human being! I admire greatly people that have the intelligence to do work like this.. its fascinating to me.. n baffling lol... i wish i had someone in my life when i was younger n learned this myself. I definitely would be able to sleep with great peace at night if i were owner of a repair shop/engendering manufacturing co. and had this man as my top employee! And id pay him very handsomely! And he dont speak like most ignorant mad at the world repairman do lol. That shows much great confidence in ones self in my personal opinion. This is the man i want working on a 5000 dollar rig if i get 1... i will gladly ship it, n wait! Its done when its done n i feel more than confident its gonna get done right! Hats off to you sir!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍
Wow you have some amazing abilities and the way you explain things make this an inspiration to be able to save these old amps and improve on their tonal range. I had an old 60s (i believe), peavey classic for years and eventually it started to sound pretty crappie..changed the tubes, because that's all I knew how to do, and it still sounded like garbage. Boy do I wish I could go back in time!!! You're a true master sir 🙌 thanks for all the wonderful content and knowledge that you bestow on us onlookers.
Looks great Lyle! You, Brad, and Uncle Doug have inspired me to know more about this stuff so I bought a Mojo Princeton kit to get my feet wet. The orange drops I'm sure are great caps but their size looks stupid on the eyelet board imo. Was debating between Mallory 150's or these Vishays and I'm glad to see them in this video! I think I'll give them a shot!
Oh, I think any hard working guitarist using amps like this would be beneficial for their careers to get such work done on their amps. Such great results from the kind of repair work that you do!😁
Good karma indeed ! A photo tip for ya. Using smaller lens apertures and brighter lighting will give you a greater depth of field. The whole chassis will be in focus. Try bouncing some bright lights off the ceiling and walls if need be. Direct lighting will create some harsh shadows. Keep up the good work !
Yeah, I can go up to about f8 with the lighting I have but forgot to do that here. I think this shot was f3.2. Oh, wait, that panned bit was 120fps 1080 with 250 shutter speed so I could get a smooth pan at 24fps, so I forgot to increase the DOF there. I’m still learning. ;)
PS I have a 120W daylight COB with a lantern diffuser over the bench and another with a parabolic with a grid to the side. So I can avoid most harsh shadows.
Thanks. Strictly speaking current production tube amps, the Vox Custom AC15/30 needs the least work, arguably none. The Fender ‘65 RI series with a bit of preventative service is next.
That’s footage from two years ago of him playing his Super Reverb after service. You can see Logan’s face in the video he did the other day on the Revstar, playing through another client’s ‘65 Deluxe Reverb.
Lyle, your work and Brad’s are the best I have ever seen. Kudos my friend.
She is a beauty and much loved I'm sure.
I love these old Fender rebuilds!

Lovely! Really like the added-filter-on-the-bias trick.

Very, very nice work sir. I am truly in awe of your work om these old gems. Your friend is very lucky, and I would love to find an old amp like this.
Fantastic! Thanks for the tip, I've added it to my hum reducing checklist.

Logan is a very lucky guy! Absolutely beautiful work!
Another example of why Lyle is a treasure!
Nice production Lyle. I look forward to your videos, particularly the longer ones.
I appreciate that!
You are a good man, Lyle! Although we have never met, I like you. Stay strong, brother!!!

It already sounds glorious.
Well, you’re hearing Logan through a Super Reverb I fixed two years ago. But you’ll hear him with the restored Deluxe soon!

Just awesome wrk you do and thank you for showing us the how to and why of it all
Awesome restoration!

Nice setup. If you go with the smallest ap you can get away with you'll never have to focus.
Also, if you can adjust the iso, go higher.
Also, wide angle lenses always have greater depth of field
Excellent!!!
Good friends are the best😎👍
😎✌👍❤🖖
Great video, thanks!
Good work as always👍🏽👏🏽
But wouldn’t residual hum from the bias-supply get cancelled out in push/pull-output stage?
Not completely.
Awesome
Love your videos!
What do you consider the overall best value/sound (after a few tweeks, of course)
Vintage reissue fender amp?
Thanks. Strictly speaking current production tube amps, the Vox Custom AC15/30 needs the least work, arguably none. The Fender ‘65 RI series with a bit of preventative service is next.

"The yuck that awaits.."

Prob reused older footage of the amp.
That’s footage from two years ago of him playing his Super Reverb after service.
