DIY Pedal Tips: Eyelet Board Build Walkthrough amplifiedparts 2023-06-02 | In this video, we'll walk you through the build process for an eyelet board pedal build. This build is for a one-knob germanium Fuzz Face, though the process is similar for other circuits. The Fuzz Face has a very low parts count, so it is an excellent choice for a first-time build. The one tricky part of a germanium fuzz face build is transistor selection, as the original circuit is picky about transistor specifications and can sound poor with the wrong specs (which will result in the circuit being "biased" incorrectly). One of the most common ways to mitigate this issue is to use a trim pot in place of the 8.2k resistor, which we have done in this build. The trim pot allows for making adjustments to the bias, which allows for a wider range of transistors to be used.Note that PNP silicon transistors can also be used in this build.Our web guide with the full BoM, layout, and more can be found at the below link:amplifiedparts.com/pedal-guides/build-project-one-knob-fuzz-faceOur guide for installing standoffs using epoxy (no drilling required) can be found here:youtube.com/watch?v=EaqfHVYHdEUOther tools used in this video:Atten ST-2090D soldering station:amplifiedparts.com/products/S-ST-2090DBourns Trimpot adjustment tool:amplifiedparts.com/products/S-T-H90Xcelite wire cutters:amplifiedparts.com/products/S-T170MKester 0.031" diameter 60/40 solder:amplifiedparts.com/products/S-T900110-24AWG wire strippers:amplifiedparts.com/products/S-T-CP412GXcelite curved nose pliers:amplifiedparts.com/products/S-TCN255
DIY Pedal Tips: Board installation without drilling amplifiedparts 2023-06-02 | In this video we'll show you how you can avoid drilling but still easily mount a board that typically would be screw-mounted.

Mod Electronics Seismic / Shift Demo amplifiedparts 2021-11-22 | Demo of the newest Mod Electronics kit - the Seismic / Shift. The Seismic / Shift is a JFET boost based on one of the earliest effects to ever be used on stage. This pedal adds subtle color to a guitar's sound while maintaining the natural tone of the guitar. It packs a serious punch that can cut through any mix when soloing or whenever some extra “umph” is required. The Seismic Shift pairs nicely with amps and other pedals. Place it ahead of tubes, preamps, overdrives, distortions, and fuzz pedals to shift your gear onto a new level.The Seismic / Shift pedal kit is the introduction to the Nexus Series from Mod® Electronics. This series features a PCB base rather than the Mod® Electronics’ traditional point-to-point wiring kits to offer builders an even wider variety of effects to build. The Seismic Shift kit is designed for all skill sets and is the perfect first build for those unfamiliar with PCB construction.Read more at modelectronics.com/product/seismic-shift
How to Bias an Amp 2020 amplifiedparts 2020-06-22 | In this video we go over step by step instructions on how to bias your vacuum tube amplifier.Careful safety measures must be taken when working with internal amp components.

EL84 Vacuum Tube Comparison Using Yellow Jackets® Tube Converters amplifiedparts 2018-05-07 | In this video, we'll compare 10 different EL84 brands in a JCM800 using the Yellow Jackets® YJS. The JCM800 typically uses EL34 tubes, but Yellow Jackets® allow EL84 power tubes to be used in place of most common guitar amp power tubes, providing a "self-bias" Class-A configuration for the EL84 so that no bias adjustment is required.The first sound demoed is that of the EL34. There is a dropoff in volume when the EL84s are demoed due to the YJS's substantial reduction of maximum output power. This allows you to find that sweet, warm mix of preamp and power amp distortion at a lower volume.The YJS used in this video is the pentode version, which reduces the output power by roughly 50% to 70%. The triode version of the YJS reduces the output power even further, from roughly 70% to 90%.The YJS is also available in a shorter version, YJShort, for amps that have low clearance. To find out which Yellow Jackets® model is right for your amp, you can find more info on the Yellow Jackets® website:yellowjacketstc.comYellow Jackets® also offer a convenient list of recommended models for common amplifiers:yellowjacketstc.com/amplifier-recommendationsTo purchase Yellow Jackets® directly, visit:amplifiedparts.com/taxonomy/term/693Amplified Parts also offers an EL84 sampler set if you would like to try out various EL84s in your amp, with or without Yellow Jackets®:amplifiedparts.com/node/41576
