#amprepair

Here is something you dont see very often...me playing a #guitar on video! But I'm so enjoying this homemade "JHM" that my #amp tech @marshalllespaulfan built and lent me yesterdsy when I dropped off my #Fender Twin for servicing, that I just had to post a crappy cellphone clip of my crappy playing. This is straight into the amp playing my other patron's (@tomgibson3783's) #R7 #LesPaul. The tone knob is all the way up and the volume is at 7. That is natural overdrive...not a pedal! There is reverb added (coming out of a second amp off to the left) and I'm playing it through a 1 x 10" cab with an Eminence Ragin' Cajun speaker. . Check out @marshalllespaulfan's post from yesterday for more info on this little beast. It's based on a Harmony circuit with a single 6V6 and puts out around 5 watts (and is loaded all vintage tubes of course!). He repurposed a little Marshall box to house the amp (notice the front panel says "JHM", with the H being an homage to the Harmony circuit lurking within!) . So much fun to play and not too loud...I always wanted to learn how to build something like this myself!! . #gibsunday #marshallmonday #marshallamp #harmonyamp #harmonyguitar #gibsonguitar #guitar #guitars #amps #ampbuilding #homemadeamp #diyamp #amptech #amprepair #guitarphotography #ampphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CEhPoSHBdRu/?igshid=1k4796wtd7bzd

Freshly serviced and ready for hit the road once again ~ this '67 #fender #bassman will be rocking all over North America in the coming months... . #guitartech #amprepair #guitarshop #seizethetone #shoplocal #supportlocalmusic #hamontmusic #hamilton #hamont #hamiltonbandskickass (at Birchway Sound)

#Jensen #speaker in a 1959 #Fender #Harvard. . The voice coil on this one seems to be rubbing a bit (or there is some debris lodged in there) causing some noise and distortion detectable at low volumes only. Thankfully my trusty amp tech @marshalllespaulfan has a contact who can re-center it and eliminate the rubbing without harming the speaker itself. . Old #amps. There's always something going wrong with 'em, amiright? 😆 . . #guitar #guitars #amp #jensenspeakers #amprepair #amplifiers #vintageguitars #vintageamps #fenderamp #vintagefender #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography #ampphotography #fenderharvard #5F10 #fender5f10 #tweedtuesday #tweedamp #fendertweed (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B89HFiKhJ9a/?igshid=rpi3hfxmq65u

HELP! I need your suggestions... Just a reminder that @marshalllespaulfan and I are still looking for someone to repair (rewind) this 1940s field coil #Jensen #speaker from my 1946/47 #Fender #Princeton. If you know anyone that can undertake such a job leave a comment below please and thank you! In addition to paying for their work I can also offer a ton of free exposure here on Instagram for their business. If they can fix this speaker I’ll be more than happy to promote the sh*t out of them every time I post a picture of the amp...for many years to come! 😀 PS: someone in the #Toronto area would be ideal but not a 100% requirement. PPS: we have already contacted Chris Merren, are aware of his reputation, and are more than willing to use him for this job....the only barrier is that he is on the other side of the continent from us and if we can find someone closer to home it would be great! Thanks for any information you can provide! 🙂 . . #fenderwoody #jensenspeakers #vintagejensen #electrodynamicspeakers #amprepair #speakerrepair #guitar #guitars #amp #amps #amplifiers #vintageguitars #vintageamps #fenderamp #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography #ampphotography #speakerphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3uMxgA5gv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13wp8t5f4u96k

Just got my 1965 #Fender #VibroChamp back from my amp tech, @marshalllespaulfan, who installed a 3 prong grounded plug (and disconnected the “death capacitor”). YOU WILL NEVER SHOCK ME AGAIN, VIBRO CHAMP! BWAHAHAHA! ⚡️⚡️⚡️🖕🏻😀 Anyhoo: one thing I love is that @marshalllespaulfan always provides a full written report on each amp he works on. He checks which parts are original and which have been replaced (in this case some caps and resistors have been replaced but all the important bits are original) and he tests values and voltages to make sure everything is performing correctly. Interestingly, the plate voltage on the power tube read 383 volts with a cathode voltage of 22 (for a total of 361 volts across the tube) and 47.5 mA of cathode current...so that means the plate dissipation on the 6V6 is calculated at a whopping 16/17 watts! Holy crap that’s HOT! 🔥 But apparently, Vibro Champs are known for high plate dissipation and the amp sounds good and doesn’t actually give off frighteningly high temperatures. And since the tube itself is original to the #amp and is still working and tests fine, what the hell...we left it as is! Technically it could be fixed (no biasing pun intended!) by changing the cathode resistor value to lower the cathode current, but that could change the tone so I opted to leave everything as is. #guitar #guitars #amp #amps #amplifiers #amprepair #vintageguitars #vintageamps #fenderamps #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography #ampphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnrrg3dHKdv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s1qyo6364uw5

I managed to accidentally blow the power supply in my @fender Rumble 200 bass amp. There’s very little damage overall and I’m skilled enough at soldering to fix it, but I haven’t been able to find the right part yet. If you know what this is, please reach out. Pro tip: don’t plug cables into jacks if you don’t know what they do. #oops #fender #amp #repair #amprepair #rumble #rumble200 #bass #bassamp #electronics #soldering #microsoldering #powersupply #auxiliary https://www.instagram.com/p/CbwhvngOFdx/?utm_medium=tumblr

NOS Mustard caps for a Plexi build, in the house! They all read within about 2%, and have no leakage up to the rated value. Didn’t test ESR yet, but what robust little gems, these are! #VintageAmpRepair #AmpRepair #MarshallAmps #MarshallPlexi @ReWindElectric
