Amp Repair YouTube Channel - Technology Enterprises

[Bobwith2Bs]

Hey!

Feels a bit ridiculous to post this in a place that has so many skilled guitar amp builders, but I am a small town amp repair tech, former electronics teacher, and current electrical engineer that has recently started filming all of my amp repair videos in hopes of helping educate others on the knowledge i have gained about this stuff over the last 15 years or so of learning/teaching electronics and working as an amp repair tech.

If anyone is interested in checking out my channel i have posted a link as some small way of giving back to this forum. I have learned a TON from lurking around here over the years (although i last the password to my original login a few years back and had to create a new username). Highlights of the channel so far include a series on restoring my 1974 Hiwatt DR103, working on a bass amp that was owned by the bass player of the band Jawbreaker, a full series documenting repair of an Ampeg SVT-CL (including making sure tubes are correctly balanced for bias and filter cap replacement), and loads of customer and personal amps over the past three months.

Not sure if this is allowed, or in the correct thread, so please let me know if this needs to be moved or removed.

Thank you!
Bobby

Thanks for the intro to your YT channel - I'll subscribe!

As a late-comer to the internet knowledge transfer of tube guitar amp design techniques that seems to have peaked somewhere around the mid 2000s, when I was too scared to mod a Blues Driver pedal - I'm grateful for anyone still looking to share info and experience that others can benefit from presently and am also looking to set up some kind of outlet of my own to share ideas and concepts for those of us still poking around these parts.

I just recently stumbled across your DR103 series and thought it was really informative and well done. I’ve only been at this a short time and search for content like yours to connect what I learn from the great folks here and read from Merlin and Aiken to actual visual examples.
Count me in as a subscriber and thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience!

Thank you for checking it out!

I finally was able to get an output transformer for the DR103 ordered (Mojotone was out of stock for months, along with everywhere else i checked) so will be jumping back into that series soon to finish the amp.

I pursued electronics through formal education (trade school then later getting an EE degree) but learned a TON from forums on how to relate that knowledge to music gear. Happy to give back in any way I can!

I may end up putting together a paid course on Patreon but only will charge for that because it will be a ton of work. Currently am adapting the first-year electronics material i used to teach at a technical college to be focused on guitar amp and pedal circuits.
