I thought I'd share my experience on building a Fender Princeton Reverb clone from scratch to finish. It was my first time building an amp cabinet and I'm still a beginner at amp electronics. Sections: Intro:0:00 Faceplates: 0:25 Electronics: 1:10 Setting the bias: 5:10 Final assembly: 8:18 Outro: 9:26 A few useful links: robrobinette.com/AA1164_Princeton_Reverb.htm www.mojotone.com/kits/Blackf...

    hey my friend, which layout have you used? I see one on the wall at 1:44 did you do any potentiometer grounding or other grounding? is it free of hum/noise when not playing sounds?

      Yes these are juste two thin strips of pine. I can't remember what screws I used, they just need to fit though the holes in the reverb tank.

    Why did you want 6mm back panel? It looks like you could have just moved the cleats 6mm inwards and used the 12mm ply.

      @robinmarchal5752 Рік тому

      Just trying to stay true to the look of the originals which used 1/4" plywood. 1/2" would have looked too thick IMO.

    You really did a nice job with this one. I make my life a little bit easier by installing a bias pot. You can grid bias the tubes as a pair. Uncle Doug also has a youtube on a pot in the reverse feedback loop. I also add a presence cap only or cap on a pot on the reverse feedback loop. It's a little bit of work, but you get a much fuller, rounder sound with more mid punch. I love the AA1164. ua-cam.com/video/DirM9fuUhJo/v-deo.html

      Well... At least i know my cabinet is solid, and I like tolex to be honest! It allows me to take the amp to gigs and rehearsals without caring to much about making a scratch - plus tolexing the amp is actually a fun part of the build!

    Great job on the cabinet build! just to note, the aluminum sheet that you install for the shielding can sometimes vibrate in the cabinet & be heard due to the speaker vibrations. I use a little glue to seat them along with the staples. Now, I'm onto the second part of this series!
