In this video, we'll look at this Marshall guitar amp I recently found in a dumpster. It's not tube, it's a solid state MG100HDFX with digital effects. There is no output. We'll figure out why and follow my trial and error attempts at repairing it. Should be a fun one.

Years ago, when the Earth was young, around 1995. Someone tossed out a vintage Ludwig drum kit that had been BRUSH painted. I rescued it, painstakingly restores it to a beautiful natural finish and gave it as a birthday present to my best friend who was also my drummer at the time. Being a drummer... HE PAWNED IT FOR WEED!!! Let us all learn from this. Do NOT trust a drummer.

One of my co-workers with a City Street Dept. found a Guitar with case in a trash pile about 15 years ago. He put it in my office one morning and to my surprise I opened the case and there it was... a vintage Gibson Flying V with a broken neck ! It sat in my jam room for a couple of years, but one day my wife snuck it out of the house and took it to a guitar repair shop that fixed it for a hundred bucks and she gave it to me for Christmas. The Guitar is worth $1500....

I'll say this for you man: you are tenacious. I mean, I'd have a hard time calling it quits on repairing almost any amp that I just found somewhere for free. That being said, I'm always far more excited to see you not only fix the issue, but walking us through your thought process as you diagnose the issue, AND communicating which tools you're using, why, anecdotes about prior repairs or quirks that some components/models might have. It's all so helpful, especially when someone brand new to a hobby or passion project, like me is watching. Like watching a skilled surgeon operate... while occasionally poking a part of the patients brain that makes them laugh. 😆

@oBsRVr666
@oBsRVr666 4 года назад
Two tips come to mind seeing you repair this: 1) If the faulty component (in this case the TDA chip amp) has already been cut off I find it much easier to just melt the solder on the remaining legs with the soldering iron and pull them out with a small pair of needle nose pliers. This way it's much easier to get the solder out once the legs are out and it's less likely to lift a pad with the desoldering pump. 2) If you don't already own one: An ESR meter is a good investment to check for bad electrolytics. Some electrolytics capacitors fail in such a way that the capacity on a normal DMM will still read fine but the internal impedance will act like a short circuit. You probably know this already. :) Nice repair. Glad you fixed it.

Okay, Brother, I just have to share this one with you, Because I know you'll get it, and either laugh...or cry, or maybe both (you say you've given up trying to account for people). My morning coffee stop has a door leading to a hallway where the restrooms are (the restrooms are shared with the restaurant next door). On the door, directly above the door knob is a sign in big black block letters that reads, "TURN THE KNOB...IT WILL OPEN". When I asked the owner about this, she told me that the sign wasn't working when she had it at eye level.

I found a little version of this in a dumpster about a year ago. Marshall MG 10 CD. It needed only two things: the input jack needed to be re-soldered, and the transformer inside had worked loose and needed to be bolted back down. But all the nuts and bolts were rattling around inside. So, that was probably worth about $30 that I got for free. :)

@@Whydoyoureadme Chill. It was just a general statement. I play an early JCM 2000 DSL100. And what's a "boutique EL34"? Just because an amplifier is equipped with EL34's doesn't automatically mean it's a killer sounding amp.

Those Marshall MG are not heavy sought after, because they have "not enough tubes" for some korksniffing tube afficionados. To be honest, they have a place in heavy metal, not only because Chuck Schuldiner of Death played a MG series amp. Some guitar channels checked the MG's out and found them not bad at all, if a reasonable priced amp with lots of gain and a brilliant high end with some sizzle (and maybe some noise) is what you are looking for.

MG is not what Chuck used nor is it a predecessor. Chuck used two Valvestates, the 8100 and the VS100, exclusively, and that amp series was replaced with the AVT (Advanced Valvestate Technology) after that. These amps are tube and solid state hybrids with a single tube in the preamp section and had a unique voicing. The MG is entirely different and was entirely solid state and marketed towards the entry level niche. The AVT was still around at the time and was intermediately priced at the time while the JCM were flagship models.

brad, the average person has no regard for good knobs. until you need one. when i found my technics sa300 i had to replace illumination bulbs; when i removed the tuning knob the shaft was already cracked, it seems. that part stayed on and the knob came off in my fingers. depth, shaft diameter, half or full circle lots of variables on knobs. super glue and baking soda (learned that on stew mac channel) fixed my knob i had no choice since i could not find one to replace it. glad you are back , oh master of the variac.

I pulled this from Marshall's glossary of terms: Frequency Dependent Damping (FDD): this special technology emulates the sound and behaviour of a valve amp. It gives a tighter and more defined sound.

I repaired one of those MG Marshalls many years ago. As I recall it was also a failure of the amplifier chip TDA7293. Same overheated device but mine was due to a failure of the cooling fan. These chips run hot evn at idle with an average quiescent current of 75mA (~6Watts to dissipate) so a failed fan will kill the IC even though it is supposed to be thermally protected. I repaired mine by replacing/upgrading the fan and beefing up the heat sink by using copper and almost tripling the surface area. Okay now I must criticize your use of Chinese clone semiconductors. They are NEVER to the specifications of the original manufacturers. Do yourself a favor, spend the few extra bucks and buy legitimate parts from reputable distributors (DigiKey, Mouser, etc) and genuine manufacturers (ST Micro, etc.). Awesome playing!

@ Skyway... your comment was removed. I'd like to address the small portion of your comment that I could read. Just because a company is the largest company, doesn't make everything they do appropriate. Gibson has been pumping out some good and a some garbage for several years now. The quality control isn't nearly what it used to be. Also... they fired Henry for a reason. His diversification strategy bankrupted them. Also... they're known for suing everyone, and losing most cases. They're bullies and because they were top dog for so long, they think they should own the rights to everything. I'm from Michigan (where they were founded) and I want them to succeed, but they're doing dumb stuff.
