It's no secret my Fixologist channel is not that large of a channel, and frankly doesn't make me much money at all. I had hoped to change that this past year by getting into the small engine game (at a time when they're being replaced with electric). I know, odd right? While that plan hasn't totally worked out, I have seen a few videos begin to really take off after being up for a while. YouTube seems particularly fond of vacuum cleaner repairs. I think I could do very well on those, and might try more of them this spring and summer. TV repairs can be hit and miss, but have been good performers on the Guitologist channel over the years. I have several of those to get to. Also, my little pancake air compressor repair has started to go hockey stick on the view curve too, so cheap air compressors might be a winner too. My few Jaguar XJ8 vids have done super well, nd also make a LOT of money, so vehicles are a definite win, but I don't have the facilities (or the tools and skills frankly) for...
This is a video response to Tone Priest's question about modding a Hiwatt clone build. If you are a paid member here on Locals and have tech or other questions, I'll be happy to give you a similar video response when I get time! Thanks so much for all your continued support.
This was the full jam session on the Gibson L1 I did recently. As you probably know, I usually will jam for a while on something and then pick a few highlights to show in a final video. A ton of stuff got edited out. It's not all great, but it's not all bad either. I find it kind of soothing, this quiet acoustic stuff. I'm never sure where the mood will take me.
I made this quick video the other day for a friend and figured I'd post it here as well. He wants to get started in slide, so I was quickly showing him some open tuning concepts to make the transition to slide a bit easier. Kind of like learning slide without a slide.
This is probably the most overlooked aspect of your guitar tone hiding right under your nose.
What's going on here, fellas? On both these schematics the OT plates get B+ DC like normal through a bridge rectifier but check out how the screens and all the preamp tubes are getting juice. There appears to be a second tap off the secondary of the PT which goes through a choke, has a couple filter caps than straight in. How is this getting rectified???
