I always learn something new from your excellent videos, Chris. If it's outside my scope, I at least know how to discuss it intelligently with my Tech.
Yes Chris the best speakers are ** *** you put one in my Princeton and now I sound like a guitar player who knows how to get tone. Not because of me though... thanks again.
Hi Christian. The OEM Fender Eminance speakers are too cheap to bother with a recone. I have some other beautiful speakers that I will video the recone process. TRhank you for the suggestion.
Good job Chris! The previous tech must have been a piss poor solderer to have caused thay many dry joints! That's dreadful! Probly almost every joint he touched he messed up! Bad solder, or iron, whatever, if a solder joint looks good then it generally IS good. Maybe he forgot to wear his glasses? Good use of the old switch for feedback! Argh! Bloody speaker stuffed! Let me guess - you're gunna get a Jensen speaker? I guess we'll see.
Thanks Nevile. I'm still not sure why his soldering was so bad. Maybe it was technique (I always tin EVERY component before soldering) or maybe crap solder.
@@theguitaramptech Yeah I dunno either. But I promise you, in 30 or 40 years I have never had something I've built, fixed or worked on, ever come back faulty cos of a dry joint. Just do it properly in the first place! Concentrate on the solder joint you're doing! Get that that right then you never have to go back to it. It's 60% lead ffs! It would normally need a century for anything environmental to even have a chance penetrate that connection! Let alone individually tinning component leads!
Beautiful work, Chris. I look forward to hearing this amp with a decent speaker.
Thank you for your kind words. I think you will approve of the new speaker and the result.
Thanks Chris
Thank you, Peter

That's excellent feedback, Les. That's exactly the degree of difficulty I want to pitch my videos.
One of these days I need to try the NFB delete on a fender. Nice amp!
Give it a go, Yeatzee. Most clients like that bit of extra flexibility

No recone?

Cliff hanger!
It sounds amazing! I will upload the final video Saturday morning (Sydney time)
