Video

Just opened mine up, after hearing a pretty bad hum I don't remember it having. Hopefully it's a simple fix, like a wonky ground or bad cap, but we shall see... Great video and diagnosis/repair!!

I think screwed myself. i used to have 4x12 cabs with 16 ohms speakers wired/running 16ohm setting, the 4x12 got to dam heavy so i now have 2- 2x12 cabs but one set of speakers is 8 ohms(celestion gold's) & the other 2,i just bought 16ohms ( the newest celestion 100 anniversary speakers) i thought i could bring the 8s up to 16 which i can, then i thought i could wire the 16ohms to 16ohms but everything im seeing is saying no deal . if you read this will just confirm for me, if there's any suggestions im willing to listen Thanks, Peace!!

I feel like im your apprentice and I trust any and everything you say. Thankyou for making these videos!

I rewired/soldered all of my cabs after watching your last video, thanks B!

Great Stuff Man.

Really cool

Great, as always. I'd only add to pull on the crimped terminals after crimping. It is also important to never trust the work of others. I have a Fender open back 1x12 cab loaded with an EVM12L. When I plucked that speaker to put it in another cab, I found the speaker was connected with a single copper strand on one of the terminals. It was driven by a 150W tube amp for years. Also, crimped terminals out of the box can be loose fitting on the speaker lugs. Tightening the fit with small pair of pliers by squeezing the little metal rolls on each side of the female crimp terminal can be beneficial.

Great stuff.

Dude your knowledge is supper uplifting and very inspiring. I've been trying to fix and manage my own gear for over 30 years. Always learning something new. Your videos are detailed and you show everything in a calm and easy pace. My new favorite channel for sure. Thanks for putting some smile on some other people's faces!!

I picked up an 8100 a few months ago and it's awesome! I recorded with it recently in a well known studio and it came out pretty good. It's on our channel hit us up

Love that Rhythm Tone 🤘🏻🤘🏻

You're a diabolical wizard, sir... deluxe info! Also... ZEKE fuggin rules!!

Awesome

Great work man! Respect.

What I do not understand is why are you spending the time to try to match an old valve with a new one? Would it not be better to just replace them with a new matched pair and be done with it? Give the customer back the old valves and at least one could be used as a spare in an emergency. If the customer is not willing to spend the money on valves, then maybe they should just get a Katana or an HX Stomp. Did I miss something, and you did put in a new matched pair?

Beautiful

Jim Morrison is not dead! He is alive and well and he fixes guitar amps now. Plus he hasn't aged a bit. I don't know what his secret is. Must be all the solder fumes. In all seriousness, great video on troubleshooting methodology. I'll subscribe and add you to my list of amp repair channels.

man, i always enjoy these videos, keep it up good work. that US bastards jam at the end was a great finale

Is it possible to change out transformers on a 100 watt amp to a lower wattage? I have a Marshall MGHDFX100 head, and 100 watts is just too much in a bedroom setting. Also, is it possible to mod it in a way to have switchable power levels like some of the newer 20 watt Marshall heads? The obvious answer is to buy a head at the wattage I'd prefer, but I have a soft spot for the old Marshall MGs.

Semmed like the reso added highs/mids as well as lows. Opened the sound up a lot. Great channel. Love your stuff.

Tight work, Like the outro!

i prefer the stock sound myself. Sounds more open.

Fuggin beautiful work, bro!! Wasn't laughing at you, but WITH you (even though you weren't laughing) when you were checking the ohms on those speakers... haha, yikes. Lost your number like 3 flip phones ago... hope all's good down there! Late to the party here, really dig your channel, SO much dope info and know-how. Cheers!

Love these videos man. Keep up the hard work. Not a lot of people doing stuff like this anymore

Nice work!

Just reinforces how much I hate Vintage 30s.

nice track in end, is there a full?

killer work🤘

Can you make a video of the croc tops?

Kickass video! Love watching these videos. Oh by the way… you look like Jim Morrison big time.

Yeah. Mic bites on the cloth.

HELL YAH DUDE! KILLER W0RK AND JAM!

Could you please post the dimensions of this cab...I have been wanting to build one....

How tall are you? It looks so small, considering. 8:00 I find that a Japanese dogyu style nail puller really makes a difference for this kind of job.

What are your thoughts on the Fullbacks? I'd love to try them, even mixed with 2 12" greenbacks. Very cool restoration job - Kudos!

Its almost Matchless-like for the speakers, lol... but cool find even if not 100%

Man, when that second speaker turned out to be 16 ohms I felt your pain. Whoever reconed that was just careless. That shit sucks.

Great restoration. Played bass through one of these 415s for a while and they are monsters. Makes total sense to move cabs with a dolly.

I did a similar thing with a Marshall 4-12 cabinet, painted it with black rhino liner and replace all the plastic bits with new parts. Looks new.

Nice work! The end result looks almost factory fresh.

Another excellent video and tutorial !!! Thanks Brent !!! Yes, I am 4 yrs late to this party lol.

Holy crap !!! This restoration is amazing !!! I just picked up a 2011 Marshall 1960A cab, with the G12T-75's in them and the front grill cloth has a single hole in it near the speaker edge. The speaker near the hole was not touched, luckily, and I was thinking of replacing the grill cloth with the same stuff you just used here. I've never replaced grill cloth before, so it is a little intimidating. Your video shows that a little patience goes a long way, as a friend of mine told me the grill cloth can be difficult to stretch properly and fit right. You did an incredibly great job and the finished cab looks super nice. Congrats on such great work !!!

Very cool!

Gotta love period correct staples !!

Awesome job Brent! Keep up the great work.

I got a small upholstery tack puller from ace hardware that works pretty well. It's smaller than a pry bar, about the size of a screw driver. I order all of my parts directly from Marshall during their black friday sale when everything is 40% off. I guess Marshall and AES, Tubes and more, have ended their distribution agreement. Do you know if there are any US suppliers? I cant find 11 inch logos anywhere. Where are you getting your tolex from? Great video.

Bitchin vintage cab man!

It really is a joy to watch you restore this battered road weary equipment. Thank you for sharing your talents. 🤘👊🤟

The purpose of insulation is to make the speakers respond as if they are in a larger box with a larger air volume to compress. I doubt that this cab needed it, but that is the thought process.

🤘
