- This isn't a really comprehensive video listing every last thing I do when I'm restoring a Rhodes; it's sort of just an overview of some of the stuff that I think is important but overlooked. Like yeah we all know you've gotta tune it, voice it, make sure the sustain pedal works -- blah, blah, blah. But what opamps are you using in your preamp? You ever think of that, funny guy? Yeah, maybe not. Maybe someone oughta tap you on the shoulder and say, "Hey, how about some TL072s?" Well, this video is me tapping you on that shoulder and saying that. Seriously: listen to how good that sounds at the end.
very interesting to see how "easy" it is to repair. thank you for the video :)
Definitely. A lot of repairs aren’t that hard if you just open it up and think about it. Give it a try sometime and if you have questions lots of folks like me will be happy to help.
A Rhodes is like magic in a box. Glad to see that one shines again
They really are wonderful things. You can tell a lot of care and intelligence went into making them.
Wow quedó excelente! Felicitaciones. Saludos desde Argentina !
Muchismas gracias ☺️
Awesome job bro! keep up the good work!
Thank you brother will do 🫡🫡🤘
Great to see restoration of a Legend.
They’re really wonderful instruments.
I salvaged an old Rhodes 212 super satellite, amp was toast and could not be saved due to the amount of corrosion, so I put a couple jbl 125s in it for guitar cab.
@@superuser13 sick. And yeah tbh those amps are kinda testy. They do sound good with some work though. But that’s a really fun idea for using it!
Sweet! Thanks Man!
👏Great job! 👍
Hehe, thank you Mr Rice! :)
For God's sake, are you chewing gum into a microphone??
I’m sorry. I’m not very good at making videos. I just keep going because I enjoy the process. Thank you for your feedback.
@@folpon I enjoy the video, but it absolutely sounds like you're at the tail end of a large meal, just casually polishing off the last course, lol.
Also, points for gracious response to a fairly aggro comment.
@@keithklassen5320 lol! Ok, ok, I hear you guys loud and clear - I will politely put the gum away before I record the dialogue next time hah. :) and thank you! ☺️
