Thanks for sharing, I am also a service engineer was based in Harrow, then Milton Keynes, worked for Roland, Yamaha Line 6 and Alesis (mostly digital with some transistor circuits, since relocating to Brazil, I am called to repair guitar valve amps and authorised by Marshall, Fender, Bugera etc. I only have just over 35 years of experience but not a huge amount on valves. Thanks to your channel and Uncle Dougs, I have refined my knowledge and also learnt about substitution of tubes and their characteristics (ie. EL34, 6L6, 6V6..). You'll be glad to know I already knew 99% of what you said, but it's good to be reminded and I wasn't too sure on how the negative bias was derived. Unfortunately many amps don't have a bias pot, so you need to calculate the relevant resistors.
Thank you so much for all your videos Stuart! You have really helped me learn a lot. Your channel is worth its weight good (and I'd venture your channel has featured quite a few ac30s, so that's a lot!)
Thank you so much! I will watch this many times I'm sure. I'm amazed at how much this opens my understanding and brings new questions at the same time.
Found this really useful! I would find another walk through like this with a class A solid state amp really helpful as well. The way you explained everything was at the perfect level of specificity.
Excellent presentation Stuart. Really enjoy your videos. Would be a blast hanging out with you in your shop for a few days. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to watching some more of your videos.
Thanks mate, that was really informative and well explained. I built a couple of 5E3 Fender Deluxe clones that wen really well and enjoyed the build. It's good to have an understanding of how things work. Cheers !!
Hey Stuart, just a fab video..Lots learned again...This explanation of the circuit certainly does remove some of the fog I have with regard to the schematic and it's reading. Thanks again for posting, keep em' coming..Ed..UK..😁
Thanks for the great tutorial. You have a real gift for making all the seemingly complicated very easy to understand for the novice, without unnecessary waffle or condescension. It's much appreciated.
When a newcomer to all this, this is exactly the content you need. Very instructional and thank you Stuart
As a guitar player I really enjoy you walking us through these amps

This was great, and even having watched a great many “basics” videos, you clarified several points for me. Thank you!

Stuart, you rock more than all the amps you've ever serviced combined. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
It's me again ! hihi ! I'm a house builder and so frustrated that I didn't choose electronics when I was youger at school .
Thank you very much for this! Learnt so much from you already and excited to get stuck into some less beginner friendly content soon!
Amazingly informative again Stuart! Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time too share the knowledge , my kind of entertainment for sure.

you have no idea how helpful this was. thanks!!

Very very good video. Thank you Master.
