It's ridiculous how long it took me to find something so clear and informative. Seriously excellent video.
Everybody knows you should do this, everybody mentions it ... and nobody directly shows it, beyond the shadow of a doubt how to! Until now. Thank you!
I agree. They talk the talk but won’t demonstrate. Amp repair is a physical thing with hands on dexterity. It’s really important to see the visuals.
I could not agree more! Been looking for a clear demonstration for almost 20 years. I’m still scared of those caps though...
Totally agree!!
Showing it opens up to liability when someone attempts to do it wrong..
@@ryans9029 Well, isn't it the same for kitchen knives or ... a pillow? Just wait for someone with a special gift for doing things wrong and they will do it. The rest of us don't mind tips and info in videos! :D
Around 1970 I got hit full force by the power supply in an unplugged 50 watt Bassman. At the time I had no clue at all what I was doing. I heard a loud crack, and the room literally turned bright blue for a fraction of a second. I've learned a lot since then!
That was a primative version of the blue screen of death.
@@lcagee he's lucky he didn't see the white light...
A bit more about putting a hand in your pocket while checking high voltages. What is really dangerous is current across your heart. By keeping a hand in your pocket, the charge will typically run down your arm, down the same side of your body and out to ground. Great advice and a great video.
Thank you for making this so straight to the point! Its much more helpful than other videos I’ve seen that way.
jamesylew thank you for the positive feedback!
Really good. Pleasant, concise and informative. No time wasted, which is a welcome change.
OMG...you would make a WONDERFUL science teacher. You have an Isaac Asimov knack for explaining rather complicated subjects in the least complicated manner. You are a great communicator. You may have saved lives with this video.
This is the clearest explanation on discharging caps I've seen. Thanks!
Great textbook demonstration. Short, concise and to the point. All major points covered. This is the video I'm going to refer people to who are new to amp building. Great work!
If you need to mess with things with the amp powered, using a GFCI outlet is a good idea, in addition to the one hand rule.
Thank you for your clear and helpful instruction!
This was such a wholesome video to watch, thank you!
Keep us up to date with all the safety tips, thanks.

Really good tip. I like how you use a resistor to drain the caps. I believe that is the best way.
Breathtaking
I can’t wait to to start working on mine. I’ve been looking up a lot of safety videos and yours is the most understandable and helpful! Thanks you!

Very nice to see a woman working in a traditionally male role. I have worked as a technician my entire life and have seen very few woman technicians. Great demo. Well done.
This is brilliant, thank you. I need to open up my '79 Twin this weekend and will follow this completely.
One of the most important tech videos I've seen. Thank you.
