    Speaker builder here ! Humidity will affect the speaker with rust . But the tuning of the box is based on the density of the air and the compression inside the enclosure. Then, the sound waves will act differently in the denser air .(distance of the sound wave )

    From Leo: The microprocessor based amps will not be restored once they die. The processors are iffy to find, they are tricky to change, and the company guards it's proprietary software like it was a bank vault. The modern circuit boards are very cheap quality and fall apart. I have fixed many solid state amps,, the old Peaveys, Fenders, and some others you have a chance of getting them going with straight forward troubleshooting, but microprocessor gear is just not worth the time and effort. Even the Fender repair centers will not repair the new microprocessor amps past warranty. 10 years ago you never had any problem with the quality of replacement parts. The last time I needed a pair of N-channel MOSFETS for a Bugera, I had to go through two bags of 5 to get two good ones. The high voltage Capacitors for tube amps are not as good either, and mechanical board mounted mechanical switches are junk. Remember the problem you had with your supersonic?

      I live in Japan, and use an amp of my own. It's not about space; it's about your neighbors hearing you playing. People are very aware of noises at home in Japan. We can hear every loud argument, no one plays their television too loud, and so on. The Walkman was invented in Japan for this purpose.
      Me however, I asked my neighbors if my guitar is too loud; one simply said, "Beatles. Please play Beatles." and another gave me a massive amount of chocolate.

    I have the Katana 50 MkI and 50 MkII, connected ABY via Radial Big Shot. When I bought both of them, a couple of years apart, I did not expect they would have any future value. For me, they are bang for the buck right now. They sound great, they take pedals well, they are easy to use, they are portable, and they are well-enough built for my uses. It wouldn’t occur to me to hope to get something out of them 20 years from now. I’m getting everything I want out of them right now! If anything, in 20 years, so long as they are still working, I will still have them. And probably MkIII and MkIV and MkV lol...

      I also have orange 20, the fen champ 20, and a stage right 20 (knock off blues jr). A suitcase full of afordadapedals. There's nothing wrong with this stuff. This is the true golden Era of quality sound gear at low pricing. I have an Amazon brand distortion pedal that blatantly has the same circuit as a zw guv'na.....it was $20. I have a zoom g1 multi fx that I proudly play live with ....$99. I like solid state amps, consistent sound.
      The fender champ is awesome and is amazingly accurate to the fender modeling. Bc.....it's made by fender. Super simple to dial in. Line out to 2x12. A little weak in the metal department.but I just put a dist pedal in front of it. There's no fx loop but dist doesn't go through the loop anyway and the rest of fx are built in. Hell, you could play live with today's ibanez gr series and nobody would know.
      We're super lucky in the guitar world.....but not as lucky as the piano world. $99 keyboard is a recording monster

Everyone complains no tuner. I get it but it doesn't bother me bc the tuner they incorporate likely won't be what I use. Maybe if the amp incorporated a screen for a strobe type interface.

When it hit 50, I started to be embarrassed. A few days ago I bought number 70, and I'm done feeling any shame. The only barometer for when to quit is physical space along with affordability.

    I'm going to go with neither. They aren't Vintage 60's JTM's nor $60 ali-express knock-offs. I can see them quietly and reliably chugging along as a solid means of amplifying for the common player, as they were designed to do. I've got 40 year old Boss pedals that are still rock solid. I like their track record in that regard. YMMV.

    When I first got a Marshall CODE amp , I was underwhelmed.But after updates and the App too, it really is a great buy.I look forward to Marshall's next generation of modeling.
    And I also have three Marshall tube amps too.

    Phil great episode! Don’t ever bleep your swears out…just cuss like a sailor and do the beep after, it’s more fun that way, integrity and the occasional swear is always better than censoring yourself. Keep up the great content!

    One of the reasons I bought the Fender GTX was because it doesn't require the app to access all its features, meaning you don't need the app in the future to use it if it's discontinued. Figured that was good future proofing.

    I had the largest "picture tube" TV made by Sony. Still worked fine. No takers. Off to the dump. It was from 1998, when we adopted our first child. It was our "stay at home with the kids" TV. Amazing what becomes obsolete in a mere 25 years.

      That's the 59 Les Paul of TVs! That would be worth several thousand dollars now! Seriously - People who obsess over retro video games will pay insane money for a larger 1990s Sony Trinitron TV like that. My condolences

    48:30 - speaking of TV's there is already a collectors market for good CRT TVs because a lot of retro video game consoles and their games were designed to be used with a CRT. A lot of games simply work and play better on a CRT because they were designed with the CRT's capabilities in mind. You might want to hold onto a couple of small TVs, they *will* be worth money in the future. They're worth money now.

    Hipshot locking tuners are my favorite upgrade from a cost/benefit perspective, but you have to be cautious if your guitar has a weird headstock. It's very rare, but on my Ibanez Paul Gilbert Fireman, the universal mounting plates did not fit. The Ratio Tuners have individual mounting plates and worked fine (but they're so expensive).

    The saddle screws on my new Squire 40'th anniversary are dangerously long and they are gold plated ( so they claim). Instead of replacing them, I will cut/grind them down. First, I'll mic the protrusion, then remove them one at a time. Next, I will cut the measured amount off of the bottom and touch it up on a bench grinder. In case I "F" it up, I will replace with the screws you recommended and hope they don't stand out too bad. Here goes.

    Nothing wrong with a katana and pedals for an apartment, i use a VOX AC4 as a pedal platform in my apartment, run gain on 2 vol on 3 and turn gain pedals down to around 3/4 on output/volume.

    In my experience, collectables are usually always the top end,
    or the exclusive items which become sort after, later on down the line.
    The likes of the katana will never be land fill trash, they're too good for that.

    • @richardclark.
      @richardclark. Рік тому +1

      unfortunatly its not worth the cost to fix a katana when it breaks. it is also using what is already becoming a dated tech. they aslo made about fifty million of them as well so there is no initial scarcity. there is absolutely no reason a katana would ever be collectible.

    If you live in an apartment, consider sound-dampening curtains for your walls. Even just one, on the wall that your amplifier is facing.
