Hot Rod Deluxe to Bassman Conversion part 2 (upgrades)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 тра 2019
- This is a follow-up to my first video where I took a stock Fender Hotrod Deluxe and converted it into a hand-wired 5F6-A Bassman/Marshall Plexi.
*If you have interest in doing this conversion to your HR Deluxe or Deville, please contact me directly, as there are many details that I have not included in this video, but will gladly share. jloewenheim@gmail.com
I was requested to build a second one. On this version, I did a few upgrades to make the build easier and to quiet the amp.
Featured in the video is my friend Matt Nervet of the band Exophonics:

I cant recommend this build enough! My Deville conversion is amazing
I just finished this build last night. It turned out great.
Thanks so much for all the help, Jake !!
Awesome work ❤ 🔥
Thanks!
nice video! Thanks for the shoutout :)
This would give you a chance to dope out a real tube reverb a' la Princeton, etc.
Also I'd love to hear your clean tone vs. gain tone (no pedals please...)
...and thanx for your work (Happy NY 2022)

You then realize why Marshall used plastic jacks, not because they were cheap, but to better control the grounding scheme and not have jacks and pots grounding randomly everywhere.
There are several techniques that I use nowadays, which are a nice improvement to how I did things at the the time of the first 2 videos. One can learn a lot by looking at how Dan Reeves, John Suhr and Soldano build their amps...
I am thinking this might be the way to go for me. Tired of the maintenance costs associated with my HRD. Things fail seemingly endlessly. So this sounds like an awesome way to make my amp fun again. I have a 1996 Hot Rod Deville 410, the 60W beast. Will anything need to be changed (Power or Output Transformers, Choke) for this mod? Would love to talk further if you have the time. Cheers on the great content!
Yeah, let's connect via email, will go over some details with you. There are a few minor tweaks that you will need to do with the deville vs deluxe. These are mainly having to do with how you bias the tubes. You can reach me at jloewenheim at gmail
I wanted to hear it without the "Boost" pedal, thanks though.
There is no boost pedal. that is the straight amp, the boost effect is simply switching on a bypass cap for the second pre amp stage
I emailed you to consult about this conversion.
Hopefully, you got my reply. I look forward to helping you make the conversion!
Awsome video good content ...ok now I owe 2 40w fender HRD I would love to turn it into what you got going on.... So I need to get a point to point turret board for a baseman and then mod it with the marshall stuff right.....? Can you please send me a link to the place I can purchase these products.......thank you very much......
Thanks for that. Any chance you can email me at my gmail (username@gmail)?
I have a GB HRD 3, no problems. I really like the normal channel. Everything else is lacking. I’m interested in the MOD. Please inform me as what you would recommend.
Thanks for the note. Any chance you can email me? username@gmail.com
Just what I'm looking for. Don't suppose you've done a comprehensive schematic?
Cheers
Steve
I do. any chance you might email me at my (username@) gmail
Theory: 10/10.
Execution: SLOPPY AF!
Hey now, appreciate any and all feedback. I'm not sure what you are referring to as sloppy (there is a lot that could be better), but I hope others get something out of it. Happy Holidays
i have a '93 concert which is essentially the same transformers and circuit as the deville. How did you handle the rectifier and did you add reverb?
Hi John, feel free to email me at my username at gmail.com. in short, I used 1N4007 diodes to rectify and left the reverb out. I have helped several folks doing these conversions and will gladly help in any way that I can.
@@jloewenheim excellent! am doing the conversion i will email you.. The iron in this has limited options (lack of center tap). Really wanna keep the reverb somehow. Thanks again!
@@johnmiller9219 Reverb can be kept, we can discuss when you are ready to build.
Why a pedal?? Can’t hear the true amp!!
Hi Gary, I'm not sure that I understand your questions, as there is no pedal being used in this video. The possibility of a pedal is for the a/b/y which allows you to change from one channel to the other. It has no effect on tone quality.
