PROOF the RUSSIANS RIGGED this Guitar Rig!

- This Sovtek MIG-50 head had several issues. The pots on these are crappy and need replaced, the caps are still original and it's time for those to go, the owner claimed Channel 2 wasn't working so we'll check that out, and we find some surprise issues with the bias circuit that cause the 5881 output tubes to red plate. At the end we'll demo this little monster with a 1970s Jolana Iris and a 1989 Charvel 750XL. Good times all around.

I just realized I left out an entire section of this repair... I found some old Sovtek MIG knobs in my parts stash from a different MIG I had a while back. I drilled them out and gave this amp a full compliment of original MIG knobs. I filmed that part but forgot about it in editing. Oops. Oh well.
These amps were made in my hometown called Saratov (inscription under input holes says "Made in Russia, Saratov") =)
better than most instructional "how to" videos I've seen in a long time...props on your playing as well.
Wow, great details in this break down, and repair. I'm sure that was one more happy customer!, and we happy viewers, thank you for the slow rig down with so much details. I learned a lot. And the dive bomb w/o whammy bar was hilarious :D
"All of the pots are shit", No truer words have ever been spoken.
You don't only know your shit about amps you can play also, very smooth playing
In Mother russia, you don't fix amplifier. Amplifier fixes you.
In mother Russia, Guitar amps plays YOU.
I had a 92 Mig 60 and it was a great sounding amp.
I’ve just got my own mig 50, I’ll take into consideration all theses suggestions. Thanks for uploading very very useful !
Man.... I LOVE those Migs. That amp + anything Mahogany with a P90 in it = Rock and Roll! Great video!
Thanks for the comments...I actually have a bunch of phenolic sheets lying around, just wasn't sure what to call them. Thanks.
You're a genius man! I've been wanting to get one for a while and you have a perfect video here taking a look at it lol!
With the nation on lockdown its been such a pleasure watching your vids - one after another! Your content is highly addictive making me fear the impending doom of withdrawal once the pandemic is over. I'd dumpster dive with you any day brother!
You do a very good job with this channel. You explain what your are doing and why you are doing it very well, plus you demonstrate the results very well too. I used to be an Electronic Technician in the Navy over 20 years ago and I haven't been involved in electronics in a very long time, but watching your channel has given me the bug to start getting back into it. I play guitar as well, so I might get into amp building. Unfortunately my electronics skills are very rusty, but you have given me the itch to dust them off. Thanks for what you do.
This amp is one with The Schwartz and so are you my friend ... great playing , tone and overall vid \m/
As always Brad, Awesome work!!! Thank you so much for your guidance!! You ROCK BRO!!!!!! \m/
i was always curious about these amps in the '90s but never heard or played thru one.
I've had one for 20 years. Still works and sounds great. Granted it sat under a sheet for over a decade. Broke it out in March and with a few pedals it gets the job done still....
That amp sounds incredible! I´m always amazed at your skills man! i dont know 1/10 of the things you are mentioning but I keep watching (maybe ill learn by watching you haha)
