    I don't mind the PCB's so much except I would have liked to seen the pots not directly board mounted. Maybe some molex connectors on the board instead to facilitate pot replacements. Maybe drill the faceplate so the input jacks can mount direct to the chassis.

    they should really use vented discs for those unused tube cutouts, giving heat dissipation without the bug access/shock danger.

    Oh yeah
    For a company with strong reputation for doing thing right, it's surprising to see those unused holes for output tubes without covers.

    Aloha Brad! Don't have any experiences with Hi Watt but aren't they very loud and bulletproof?

    • @BradsGuitarGarage
      @BradsGuitarGarage  Год назад +1

      Generally, yes.
      But being a valve amp, they do require cleaning and maintenance just like any other.

    Oooh those pots look pretty bad. Although I had a similar symptom on my Marshall JMP where the treble pot was literally doing nothing... the pot turned out to be fine, and it was bad caps in the tone stack.

    m8, where ca I get some of those blue and glass axial caps or equivelant from ? I need a shitload for my HH IC100 preamp section

    • @BradsGuitarGarage
      @BradsGuitarGarage  Год назад

      Sorry, blue and glass axial caps?
      Not sure what you mean.
      Do you just mean axial electrolytics and mustard film caps?

    • @johnnytheangel1
      @johnnytheangel1 Год назад

      @@BradsGuitarGarage yeh m8, axial electro there is one on each board (blue clear plastic wrap) and it looks like a glass cap on the front board between a resistor and a mustard cap right near the standoff(could be wrong about the glass cap can't see it clear enough)

    • @BradsGuitarGarage
      @BradsGuitarGarage  Год назад

      I just go with Vishay where possible for axial electrolytics.
      For axial film caps, I got with the "Mallory" 150 series or for radials, Panasonic or Wima.
      The one you're referring to as "glass" is just a run of the mill axial polystyrene film cap.

      Hiwatt did not have much luck with their Chinese amps.
      I believe they abandoned the concept altogether and are now working on having just the UK handwired originals. Good.
