We're a new fan of your work, Colleen, but we'll be tuning in every time going forward. Killer content!
Thank you for tuning in!!
Yeah. Well deserved, I say. Cool!
Coolest plug ever. Love seeing y’all shout each other out
Smart move! She’s keeping the tradition going!
Yes!… (“Hi guys”)
I LOVE the new format that delves into the history and historical context of the amp. Beautiful work!
Me👍🏼too. I was just 2-years-old and brought to sout’Jersey in Aug., 1964.
I do remember LBJ on b/w TV and USAF jets flying from Ft. Dix overhead.
Amen!!!
Agreed, the opening history was really well done and added a lot to the story. Very concise yet complete treatment of the amp work. However, I think a short example of pot and jack cleaning should be in every repair/renovation video. Cheers!
♥️Nothing ßexier than a woman that can teach me something, from another electrician!
it warms my heart to see the younger generation get into component-level electronics. i was hooked back in the 70's when i got one of those radio shack project kits with the spring terminal connectors. there's nothing like soldering parts together into a project and seeing it work.
whow this video series are like a tutorial ... and you are teaching us. THANK YOU Miss =)
This new format is marvelous: giving the historical context of the amp was interesting and a good addition to the video. Joyful
Love how you show a visual snapshot of history when the amps were built.
I can’t wait any longer for a new vid !
Please start doing 1 vid a week !
I’m going kookoo !
Colleen, your videos and presentations should be a benchmark and example of how ALL educational contents should be!!
I wish I had a teacher like you for EVERY subject I was interested in..
Great job and thanks for the great home-schoolin' (even for this 50yr old..😅🤙)
I dont understand like 80% of what shes talking about but it seems so interesting and i loved watching regardless
I couldnt fix an amp to save my life but learn a lot from these videos-great guitar playing too!
I built a Princeton, but I too couldn't "fix" and amp in most cases, now I appreciate good amp techs even more than before, and know good wiring technique.
Playing Johnny Marr through the vibrato channel !!! You're going straight to heaven
The cliping and cutting is some serious ASMR
i dont really understand any of it, but i love amps and listening to your soothing voice is nice
Brilliant work! You present it and describe it so easily.
I absolutely love drinking coffee in the mornings and watching videos of you working on amps....educational and entertaining. Keep it coming kid....you are on to something here!
It is SO refreshing to see a tech give the power supply the priority it deserves, functionality and safety over originality. I can't tell you how many times I've seen partial cap jobs and carbon comps just to keep things "pure". I hope your videos help raise the bar.
perfect start my morning off with some coffee and vintage amp repair..
It's very relaxing watching her work😎
And do love that vibrato... definitely has the "How Soon is Now" sound...
I thought the same exact thing 😆
That was a pleasant surprise. Now if we could only hear Colleen jam with Johnny...
Good ear. No way I could guess that. My mind went to "California" by Mazzy Star
Thank you for sharing your historical wisdom about what you are working on. Format is amazing, well done.
I am amazed at a) the technical complexity, and b) at your level of knowledge, particularly the way you were identifying all the components. Watching a craftsperson at work is really relaxing, and I loved the fact that much of the time you are just working and not saying anything. Also the level of historical knowledge is amazing. Great video. Not a bad tutorial on soldering either. 😉
@@Kevin-mp5of Dumb comment! Google is certainly a source of information, but if that’s all it took, I’d be a nuclear physicist, a master woodworker, and a brilliant guitarist. Don’t downplay the technical and practical abilities of this amazing lady.
Lot more work than I was thinking to see. Electronic art for sure. Thanks Colleen for this very informative video. 😍
RUclips just suggested this video...amazing content, very very interesting. Subscribed.
Great job!! Don't worry about us, you build your business, that comes first!! We will be here to watch your videos whenever you post them! Always good to see Rory & love me some Wes! Shows you have great taste in real music!! 🎸😎👍
Love this format with the history!
I appreciate the historic aspect of who played this amp. We hear a lot about what basses (and guitars) Carol Kaye played but seldom anything about her amps. Thanks Colleen!
New Sub here I am ex-Military Radar Tech on 1950's Radar Units - TUBES ROCK!
That vibrato instantly brought memories of "Crimson and Clover"
Wow! This was an amazing video. I've stumbled blindly, gradually picking up a glimmer of understanding by fixing the cheap gear I could afford first and then the nicer gear I've blown up.
After deciding I wanted to start learning what I was doing instead of just getting lucky, I stumbled on this video. I learned more from watching you solder and explain your process in 20 minutes than I could even imagine.
I'll be watching all your videos. I love your work ethic and your sure hand. Thanks.
This amp was born 3 months before I was. I don’t exactly know why, but it gives me great comfort to know this lovely young soul has dedicated her life, to breathing new life into objects made in the same era that my ancient old ass was also made.
Nice work on the amp, love the Wes Montgomery west coast jam at the end!
I really like the black grille look, it looks very classy
Had the best Sunday morning meditation with you! Knowing now that all the "To What" resistors in the galactic un-conscious circuit here, in at least this solar system, could be replaced too -- and Concerts everywhere would make big come back -- viva the difference -- love back!
Very nice ! Another black face Concert user was Steve Miller. man, read an interview a few years ago with him where he said he was cleaning out his basement and saw it for the first time in years. Cleaned it up some and it still worked ! I think he'd forgotten he owned it.
He added that all the Fillmore West and Winterland dates of The Steve Miller band were played using this amp.
Greetings from the radio master from Russia! Good luck with your repairs! An interesting channel!
"How soon is now" as an extra bonus at the end. Love it! And your troubleshooting and repair skills are top notch. Subscribed!
Amps and history!!! Bravo!!!
Used to do my own setup back when, it is fun to go through the old familiars with you and so refreshing to see such respectful enthusiasm for the amps and history I grew up with during the 1960s L.A. music environment. Very nicely done, I will look forward to more episodes! Thank you!
Thank you for this! I learn so much from watching your repair videos.
Me too. Other people are impressed with the history, I know plenty of that, I'm eating up the diagnostic information!
Well done as always. Brilliant, to the point, just the perfect amount of content and context. 👍🏻
Great work and nice bit of Wes at the end.
This channel is like trogly and Matthew Scott had a baby with the best parts of each combined. So glad I stumbled on this
I'm impressed with the quality of your work...finding a good tech is like feeling the sun on your face and the wind at your back.
Your videos just keep getting better. Loved the Smiths quote. Huge fan.
Very interesting video. I have a 64' Deluxe Reverb that's mostly original. I got it about 1978. I blew the original speaker in about 1980, and like a dummy, I threw it out. I put a Celestion in it. About 10 years ago, I found a Fender speaker from a 65 and replaced the Celestion. I had someone put a grounded plug on, and remove the death cap. And its been retubed. Thats about it. I love these old Fender amps. Thanks for the video.
Great video! You really take the time to pay attention to detail. I really respect that. Keep em' coming!
Wow it sounds amazing 👏 you brought life back in this great fender combo amp 👌!!!!!!!! Thank you 😊
Excellent Video!! I am glad your business is thriving!!!
Really great presentation and exceptionally helpful! I have a '62 Bassman 6G6-B w/ cabinet recently gifted to me that I'm trying to get back on it's feet and tour ready. Uncle Doug has been providing a little guidance here and there but it's still having intermittent signal drop especially with low end frequencies. Watching this is making me rethink the integrity of those original preamp plate resistors. I'll just keep chasing windmills until something works.
It is cool to see the kind of amp that Rory Gallagher played. I met him circa '72-73 and got to play his famous Strat backstage. I am surprised you can find through-hole components. I sold electronics for 20 years and they are getting hard to find!
I bought a brown concert off of CL. Sounded amazing. Incredible vibrato... Sadly, the next day the police called to tell me it was stolen. The thief who sold it to me never paid me back. I sued him in small claims court and won. In trying to reclaim my money, I dug into his past and turned out he may have made a guy murder this woman at gunpoint several years before (that was the claim of the guy who went to prison for the murder) and he was a two-time felon, so I decided to cut my losses. Miss that amp.
On the good side, the amp belonged to a very well known local musician and we've since developed a friendship. So, not a complete loss.
Oh wow, that's quite the story!
A bit strange that the cops call you the next day over a stolen amp, there’s many stolen things out there and they usually don’t even bother investigating.
One more reason to not use your real phone number on CL or Kijiji or whatever.
@@abubakr6939 Not so much. I live in a relatively small city. The kind where you frequently run into people you know. The guy who owned the amp is a minor celebrity in the area. He recognized the amp on CL and called the cops. The cops surely know who he is. They went to the guy who sold it to me, who then gave them my # and they called me.
That thief really sounds too dumb to understand the part about having the right to remain silent and anything you say can be held against you 😂
How about the part about taking your ad down after you sell something?
I to like your giving history and info on the amp in for repair! Living where you do, your backlog will either start or it has already……more people….more repairs! I’m so impressed with your abilities. You have so many years ahead to enjoy doing what you love and what I love, tube amps! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
Yes! I got so “jazzed” when you started playing Wes Montgomery “Four on Six”. Can do you a video on how to play this tune too?!?
There are about 8 lessons probably more on you tube showing that.
This is really interesting to understand what we don't see. I live in Bletchley here in the uk and pass the Marshall factory most days so I can just imagine the workings in there. Regards
Great video as always, and, as others mentioned, the format with the history interspersed is great. Also, just realized I really like listening to the sounds of you clipping, unsoldering, and removing components and solder. It is soothing and satisfying. I hope I don't have some strange fetish about electronics. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for showing all the details. Very interesting to watch.
The Smiths, perfect choice for demoing the trem.
Not sure what was happening but this was enjoyable to watch. Very much twoodfrd vibes
Nice repair work.
Classic amp.
I really enjoyed the new video! I play on a ‘64 Concert so I really enjoyed seeing you work on it - now I know what’s going on in there! Kind of…it will still go to the shop got maintenance, lol. Thanks for the excellent video, the historical context, and the awesome tour through the looking glass.
Thank you for these excellent videos! You're giving me the confidence to take on the maintenance of my own SF Vibrolux Reverb!
How appropriate to test te vibrato with "How Soon is Now?"! Love it!
Beautiful amp. Great work!
Coleen impresses, amazes, and captivates me on a few levels.
I also want to know the make/model solder iron and solder she used in this video.
Next, I’m going to learn why/why not use higher impedance speakers than was shown any amp, originally.
I like your work. Your videos are awesome also. No messing around, no crappy music "montage" (the word makes me cringe", speed up with frame cuts, so no chipmunk sounds. just the business, the stuff needed to be seen. Excellent work.
Love the T. You obviously have great taste in music too.
Waiting (impatiently) for part II on the AIMS. Almost bought the 6 speaker build decades ago. Kind of wish I had.
love the wes montgomery riffing at the end. thanks for sharing. a really fun watch and cool to see your process from diagnosis to full updating and restoration.
Colleen, you are COOL!! I love the fact that you know and embrace this wonderful technology of the past. We've got to keep these old amps alive!
Hi Colleen. Love your channel and your low key , purring narration. Very relaxing which is why I watch these types of channels. That being said and while I know you're fairly 'new' at YouTubing and appear to be unpretentious, paint those nails! You're a competent amp tech but you are also an attractive young woman. Use it to your advantage, more than a few female content providers do!
The 6g12-a "vibrato" is so cool
I've ALWAYS wanted to lay my paws on one of these, ever since I saw a jazz guitarist RIPPING (what nowadays I realize) was a rendition of "Room 335", when I was 13 y.o. in Southern Brazil.
Good gods, what an amazing sounding amplifier.
Well done. Thanks for making this video.
I never knew what a Concert was until I heard Dave Alvin use one back in the 90s. What blew me away was how he did the entire show using his Strat, a cable, and the Concert, and nothing else. No pedals whatsoever. And so many tones, all with the basic setup. Remarkable. I've only seen a handful of players do it with zero pedals, and this was one of the best.
I too have to play How Soon Is Now every time I play through trem.
Best video yet.
Nice work, and nice SOLDER work too. Good to see Concerts getting some love. I have a couple of these. One of my Concerts is so old that the chassis had the rectifier tube cut out with a factory plug over it. Never seen another one like it. I believe it was one of the earliest production runs for Concerts, when Fender was still considering a tube rectifier for this amp. I've owned it for 40 years. Just my opinion, but based on playing through one many a night, a Concert with the OEM 4x10 is pretty hard to beat...just my opinion. Still, this 3xsomething combo is a curious and interesting setup too. Thanks for keeping the craft alive!
Very good video production & editing work on this video as well as the amp repair work. Keep it going!
The first part of demo you played made me think of Carol Kaye !! Great video !!!
Great job Collean, some stealth noise levels to match that stealth appearance. 🤘
I don't know why I'm so excited you did the great work to the amp . Would love to twang on it now .
Love love love your presentation and attention to detail with your descrptions and close ups! And, the back story with other relivant history as well! I am assumming , those musical interludes are you as well? More please!:) They would be awesome soldering backtracks! Thanks also for the thorough electronics info and circuit theory! Just great all the way around!:)
I like how you're doing the "what was going on in the world when this amp came out" thing now. It's interesting and really helps to show just how old some of these amps are. Please keep it up. Everything else is awesome as well!
Sounding awesome!
Love the musical/news historical bits! Also, would be neat if, for example, when you are replacing caps, etc, put a little text on the screen the brands of the new components you chose and the values. I'm always interested in what brands techs choose for replacements... love your videos!
Excellent video and nice voice!
we missed you
Beatlemania was sweeping through the country like corona is now!!
Yeah yeah yeah!!!
Good stuff Colleen.
i'm an amp tech myself and i have to say i love your channel, great stuff! respect.
The 63 brown vibrolux is a great trem amp as is the 63 Ampeg Super Echo Twin... This has amazing reverb and tremolo
Great work! About ten years ago i had the chance to buy a concert like this for 800 bucks, i wish i bought it.
Your videos are getting so much better! Great job on the camera work, editing and sound mixing :)
I'm thinking you would have made a good surgeon. Great job Colleen!
Fascinating! Music and electronics archeology, history, technical information and pure artistry all in one video. Thank you for the obvious effort you put into your camera angles. For someone like myself, who knows next to nothing, it makes a massive difference.
You nailed it! Great Vid!
Good Work, Matt
Nice work Colleen. I sincerely appreciate your thoroughness and attention to detail. A tech of your caliber is rare. Have a blessed day.👍
Coleen,
Enjoyed your skill content. Will be tuning in for future viewings. With the similarities of the 3 speakers
having in common but the concert looks like 12” yes the vibrio King used 10” and oddly enough did not
Know that about the Fender Concert. Thanks for the History lesson. Chao!
Awesome video Fazio 😊👍👍
