Costomer Rules, but Trainwreck type 3 with cut ala Rob Robinette is fun too, lets see that one in the future ! I think I meant 'hear'. You playing is a factor and I LIKE it !
Really great result! I've always preferred the sound of actual preamp breakup to most overdrive pedals and the LarMar works perfectly here. Great stuff.
Yep your finale way of doing the larmar type ii is how I've always done it, through like using 2.2 meg. But no reason to add a second set of caps. Also works for cathode bias amps too, just go to ground instead of the bias feed.
A bench tour video detailing your electronics repair equip. would be great and very helpful! It would give us a good starting point on what's needed for an electronics repair lab setup and the general related equip. costs.
Man, you're making a lot of work for yourself to retain an almost useless feature. I'd rather have a hum balance pot anyways. The amount of respect you have for the gear goes a lot further than you realize. The mods and repairs are straightforward enough for anyone that built a Lego kit as a kid.
His approach is fair, are you referring to the customers request. He did honor that pesky thing you seem to refer. Yeah man Lego's are cool, but sometimes the reference is insulting. Can you clear us up here?
@@YeatzeeGuitar J is about 1/2 way between a modern 10% ratio CTS and a linear. AES has them, consistently better than the Mojotone ones, 35% ratio. I'm sure you know this, I'll stop mansplaining now...
@@YeatzeeGuitar Yep, so at 12noon the pot is 35% thru it's sweep, compared to 10% thru at 12noon on a typical audio taper. It gives you a little more finer dialing past noon than a linear which can sound dimed just after 3/4's through. Look at the AA and early AB schemos, on tone stacks especially you'll see "250K J", often on 1M volume pots as well.
Bummer for the OPT not fitting. Just for info, I had to replace an OPT on a '79 Vibrolux. I opted for a Hammond replacement and the dimensions were perfect 👍
Yeah I think it might be exclusive to this weird era of Bassmans. Earlier silver face and blackface are identical, it's just these weird ones from like 76 on or something.
The first 4 versions of the MV I did yes, the larmar was actually a solid upgrade. It doesn't come across as well in the video, but in person into a real cab I was very impressed. As was the owner, he let me know yesterday it's perfect 🤙
@@seanzinger back then Dan picked the pickups for the guitar, they're no longer made I don't believe but called Peter Leonard pickup wizard? Something like that?
Hey now, that's a very different title than the 100% factual title I did lol. I truly did give up on making this amp repair a video, hence no film of the OT install. I only recorded the first versions of the MV I tested for trouble shooting on a forum, and the larmar part about 60 minutes before the owner came to get the amp. Decided it was worth filming for myself for future reference
The ketchup and mustard MV ™!

Great job. Now update the EL34world thread. :D

That might be fun to have as a reference point for the future, I'll give that a try 👍

Bravo! Nice deciphering. And thanks for posting this. I could see this coming in very handy in the future.
J taper m.v. pot?
Linear

Seems like a lot of work for not much performance upgrade.

What guitar was that you were testing it out with? Strat bridge pickup? JM?? Tele???
My test guitar is always a Danocaster Jazzmaster
That’s a glorious sounding pickup. What kind is it?

If that was you that glued those caps together,please stop it! looks ugly,and no need to do that.
Somebody didn't actually watch the video
Get on with your Click Bait titles’. 🤣🤣. “This is the video I didn’t want to make”
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
