Hi, I've a Hartke HD 25 watt bass amp and for some reason after I playing it for a few minutes of playing it , it goes from sounding great to going really dull and sounding lifeless.. would you have any idea why this would happen the amps about a year and a half old . Great video by the way , just subscribed
thank you, side rant, this is not the first time I've dealt with this and I'm not rough with cords, no way should the jack be connected with mere solder to something as intricate as a circuit board, they should all have jumpers as you suggest.. hours of wasted rock time!
Thanks for this video Jake- this is exactly what happened to my Hartke A35! Now I have a lot more confidence digging into the repair. Cheers!
I get nervous about soldering since I ruined my last guitar pots.
Good vid
I had a b120... Best bass amp sound ever! I sold it long time ago. It's a shame they don't make them anymore
It really is, thats why I chose to repair the one I've got for many years to come!
@@jakeguitar01 Those amps are gold. Cheers!
How can we learn amps jack input value? I need to change one on mg10 marshall
Can i change the jack with metal ones like the one that use on guitar input coz i cant find surface mount jack for vox pathfinder

If it's fading in and out, it could simply be very dirty potentiometers.
Great video! Very cool! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
the problem was solved exactly a year ago. Damn !

Well said, if the jacks were connected to the PCB will jumpers, any amount of jiggling probably wouldn't cause any issues with solder joints breaking.
there is no more link, its dead
Not a bad video, but this kind of repair is definitely beyond the scope of the average beginner/diy-er. But if a person has the courage...
My amp would never sound the same if I took it apart 😂 .
Lots of people probably feel the same way... However, once you know the basics behind electronics, you can do some basic repairs such as this one.
Thanks
nice one jake
Thanks. Good video...
Very helpful.
Gonna tackle my GT60 head
That looked like somebody got careless with the soldering iron, over heated the pads and lifted them. The board was scorched where the pads were gone.
3 hands!!!
Too fast. Too difficult. Scrapping my Fender M-80.
