Lyle, i love watching and learning from you. The wealth of knowledge shared here could launch a thousand careers. Wish i could remodel your bathroom just to learn amp repairs after.
That was amazingly quiet. It's interesting how often you encounter eyelet boards that are leaking / spreading DC that require temporarily vacating at least some of the parts to clean those sections of the board. Not sure what a typical final bill for something like this is but when a "new" Twin Reverb is between $1900 and $2100 made from scratch with some automation and specialization of labor to speed productivity, I suspect most owners don't fathom how much these little swaps add up in time and cost.
Half the repair time on this amp was cleaning/driving out DC. As this owner had brought me nine old Fenders I only billed four hours on this, though the total was closer to six. You have to add a little lagniappe when possible.
Love these videos - really has educated me. I have totally reevaluated my criteria for amp hunting. What would your recommendation for hunting a Fender Deluxe?
Cold, but at least the cooler air is taming those official Mississippi State birds! ..... .... ... .. . Mosquitoes to those of you who didn't catch the reference....
The have a question totally unrelated but Fender. I was wondering what your opinion of Hughes and Kettner amps is. I am in the market for a 20 watt tube amp and I hoped you could recommend one . Thanks
Please please please stop that vertigo inducing sslloooww automated pan and zoom.....painful to watch for older people with balance issues (like me). Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
More people watch longer when the visuals are always changing, even slightly. And this is mostly slow and subtle stuff. I made two mistakes in this one where there were sudden changes. Sorry, will avoid in future.
@@PsionicAudio The slow and subtle IS the problem. It's called cybersickness...it's a real thing, look it up. Thanks for responding...you're a mensch!!
Look at that sassy filter node on the bias pot. Just waiting to smooth out the ripple.
A+ impression of a bubbling resistor
joints and roaches..... I mean solder joints and optocouplers. ;-) Sounds great. Nice job.
😂😂
😆
@2:04 Great, simple work practice tip here that can be applied to a ton of other occupations.
The owner is going to be thrilled!
So true about sprague , riding on past glory , unfortunate ...
I learn something on every video! You are an amazing educator Sir!
Fabulous! Ready for decades of glorious noise.
6:44 Happy Thanksgiving, ya turkey!
Seriously though, great work as always. (Also liked the Violent Femmes reference)
Fantastic lesson here . Your tips , soldering standards and ethics are exemplary .

That Twin sounds great Lyle, thanks for posting
Great work as usual and sounds fantastic.
Great work, Lyle
Fancy panning! Nice touch! Thanks for another great video, Lyle.
Thanx for the info here in & with some of your other videos..... i hope to hear you on the TAVA podcast someday.
" And how they bring me pain " " And I do." One of my super favorites when I was a teenager
Same here. That specific moment of the song.
@@PsionicAudio - Right On! Not sure if the first six words that I typed are correct. Maybe just my interpretation when I heard it as a teenager.
Thanks for your hard work and dedication to making great videos!
Great sound!
Beautiful job as always!

What would your recommendation for hunting a Fender Deluxe?
How ironic, I just bought a pair of EH 7025’s for my DRRI, they’re sounding fantastic so far!
I think the local shop must burn a lot of joints. Takes them forever to do anything! No roaches in my amp though! 🎉
10/10 🎉 for your resistor sound effects 😅
What an amazing job
Very nice work as usual.
Nice chassis joints
I really appreciated your live stream last weekend. You doing another one this weekend? Great content
Thanks, next weekend hopefully.
Great video as always! Thanks Lyle! How is the bathroom?
Thanks! See the latest bathroom update.
SOLDER joint 😁
I'm not too concerned with how long tubes last in the field. I always use my amp indoors.
Angie baby!
Always wanted a Twin but never got one. Now it would be absurd for me to own one.
It's never too late! Pursue your dreams! 😂
get a Twin
Why,they are one of the most satisfying amps to play at reasonable volumes.
Cold, but at least the cooler air is taming those official Mississippi State birds!

Great looking work. Is it worth using fusible resistors on those 470r screen resistors, especially as the HT has no fuse?
These fail open with no flames in my testing. So six of one really.

Lyle - would you mind sharing the part number/s of the ceramic discs you replaced in the tremolo? Thanks-
I don’t mind but I’m crazy busy today. 2KV Murata MLCs in 22nf and 10nf at Mouser.
@@PsionicAudio Thanks!
Was that a Violent Femmes nod?
What manufacturer for the Tremolo caps?
Murata
Anyone else want to heat up a joint? 😂 Sorry , I had to.😂

Close one eye!
