Repairing a VINTAGE Silverface Fender Princeton Reverb [Full Service+DEMO]

We take a close look at a great vintage classic amongst guitar amps, the Fender Princeton Reverb, covering tubes, capacitors, sockets, bias, and what not! Even in today's modern in-the-box realm of recording, the Fender Princeton Reverb, especially the vintage ones still stand a solid ground in recording electric guitar!

In this complete repair service we discover that it's from 1976 and in good shape, but has probably has never been serviced before. We change out the electrolytic capacitors, and also end up replacing the octal tube sockets after an attempt at re-tensioning the pins in the original sockets. These were worn-out, unfortunately.

We are lucky: This PT is a double-120v example and the JJ-5U4GB miraculously gives us the right voltage for a newly installed set of JJ-6v6 in the original non-adjustable fixed bias setup! Too high current draw could cause low plate voltages but it's good that's not the case. A GZ-34 takes it closer to the given value on the schematic anyway but the amp works great in this conservative setup. In this video I'll show you how to calculate the bias in these.
The original Blue coupling capacitors also test fine and are not leaking (yet). While the amp might benefit in the future from a preventive replacement, it's nice that it's further fully original and working great.
We do modify the tremolo as it is a very easy and reversible mod. The original value of 1M didn't quite cut it, even with the intensity on 10. This is a common mod.
Gotta love these old Princetons, which aren't critically altered since the blackface era. When pushed a little and played with the right touch it can give you a wide range of great guitar tones with just your attitude and electronics on your guitar!
May it please you, more tech-mumbling content is on the way!

In Jazz there's no such thing as wrong notes, right?
Except when you miss them altogether, haha.
Enjoy, many thanks to Brebl for letting us have a stream concert on Christmas Eve. Together with Pieter Klaassen.

So this Guitar is my beloved converted Deluxe. As it turns out, it's a 71-72 and I've owned it for about 2 decades now already. You've probably seen it around on the channel but It started to malfunction electronics-wise. Since these are already replaced components, I figured this was a good opportunity to take it apart and document it. In the process I try to explain how you can service your guitar yourself, what to look for and also doing a bit of research on the spot. This became an old-scool and long video with technical mumbling and hanging out but enjoying the work.

ELECT

Electro Harmonix Big Muff PI (V7) Guitar Pedal Demo.
Cool FUZZ pedal by EH/ Sovtek. A fuzz has many applications in the realm of guitar sounds.
You can use it clean up and give sparkle to a sounds, add a touch of hair and compression, and of course scream and wail. Who likes to see pedal demo's, with presentation, jams and tech talk perhaps? If so, what pedals do we need to see under the looking glass?

On That Morning is a beautiful laidback roots-sounding track, based on an ancient preaching melody, so he told. The sound, feel and the playing style Robben Ford uses in the song is inspiring to me and he always bridges Jazz and Blues very nicely. We'll analyse the ideas Robben Ford plays in his solo to help you understand this solo and improve your own improvising!
In this song especially, he times his lines very laidback sometimes, which makes him sound above the material. This is a key element many guitar players, even professional ones, tend to overlook. But it makes all the difference between sounding 'good' and a great listening experience! He plays mostly blues ideas, complimented with a couple of clever lines.
On the record, he used a vintage Epiphone Riviera which sounds snappy and woody at the same time. Light overdrives large Fender amp is my guess on the amp. I used a 1966' Epiphone Casino and DSP Fender Deluxe Reverb to record this video.
So, no actual amps were harmed in this video, but I promise to do so in the next! DSP amps are great nowadays and I'm excited to see were that is going.

I mean, 10 on volume, and 10 on treble! Slightly tamed bass until the point that it becomes overbearing. These things have a little too much bass anyway. Volume then boosted with a fuzz pedal, and there you go. The saturation in the highs is very sweet and sits great in a mix. Stable upper midrange and rich harmonics!
Practicing tracking this piece for an upcoming video on preamp tubes in these amps!
