Hey that's not only functionally great, but you did a fantastic job of blending it in to the look of that vintage cloth wire. I really appreciate your attention to detail!
Lyle, I swear you and Ted Woodford time your videos to come out within minutes of each other! Yours is shorter and easier to watch while I am cooking.....
Grid stopper resistors are in the wrong end of the input circuit as well in those Fenders (and in most other amps too, because of that easy component layout and input impedance switching option done by input jacks), which does not make things any better, whether shielded in chassis input circuit cable is used or not. I never do the wiring (from input jacks to the V1 grid) like Fender did it in my amps, because I almost never need that low impedance input option, and if I need it, I do it differently, to minimize all unwanted noises. In those amps which are built in a way that chassis and missing or inadequate shielding of wooden cabinet does not form a good Faraday cage, the problem of unshielded input wiring is of course inevitable especially in case of high gain amps.
And some people also seem to think shielding the guitar also kills the treble... And then they run long curly "telephone" -style cable from the guitar to amp. Maybe 10 cm of shielded wire in the guitar vs. 10 meters of shielded wire from guitar to amp and the wire in the guitar kills the treble. :D
Grounding and shielding techniques in instrumentation 2rd. By Ralph Morrison abebooks about 8 dollars . Nice reference to this problem good job there. When dealing with fanboys facts, reason , and field work with the knowledge do not help . When dealing with result oriented people that knowledge is of great value.
Do you own a capacitance meter? (If not I highly recommend getting one.) Cut a 10 foot length of the cable and measure C between shield and center conductor at one end, after making sure they’re not shorted together at either end. Measure and divide C by 10 to get C/ft of the cable in question. Anything less than around 50 pF/ft should be fine for the short runs you’ll need inside an amp chassis.
Ohms is resistance/impedance. Doesn't come into play in this application. Different RG174 cables have differing amounts of capacitance. There are some other RG specs with larger diameter inner conductors, less prone to fragile connections. Good cable vendors list the capacitance per meter. @80pf/meter is not uncommon. Given the short lengths we're using, that's low capacitance.
@@PsionicAudio what may I ask is the cable you used here Im using 174 but have no sound ive sent an email regarding that but I like the results with the wire you use wondering where I might find it. Im in Texas btw and have some bassmans which id like to send.
I'm thinking of buying a vintage bf pro reverb but Im not sure how useble is it stagevise. I play small to medium gigs so Im afraid the pro would be to powerful for that. Would a deluxe reverb be a better option?
They are different sounds.... however a Deluxe can still get pretty loud, although you will start to overdrive around volume 4-5. It all depends on the sound you are looking for. And there is always the attenuator option if the gig is ultra quiet.
