I have a Deluxe 112 Plus myself that I found really cheap because it had broken jacks and was sold as a "Project/For Parts" amp. I had the jacks on hand so I replaced those and resoldered countless solder joints. It has been working great for a number of years since and it sounds pretty good.

I recently picked up the Deluxe 112 Plus on local market for also free. Had similar problems, ran a few solder and cleaned the pots. The clean channel sounds amazing. Volume levels are ridiculous, goes from room play to stadium rock concerts between levels 2-3. 😳 Only solid state amp I've kept in my collection so far. Real easy to service and repair.

I had a Princeton 112 that I bought new back in 1993 at Guitar Center (I think it was $239.00, on sale), part of that same line of Fender solid state amps from back then. The cosmetics of the Deluxe 112 Plus brought back memories of that amp. The drive channel sounded better than I remembered too :-).

Lyle, do you have an opinion on the Black Magic Amps tube board replacement for the Blues Junior? It comes with an on board adjustable bias and test points. I was thinking about ordering that and swapping out the existing tube board since that has so many problems instead doing the your resistor mod to fix the bias issue.

Hey man, I’ve really enjoyed your pickup comparisons. I know how much work those must have taken - serious props. It’s really just cathode bias or fixed bias. There’s either not enough to talk about or too much unless there’s an accompanying textbook. Maybe Uncle Doug has already covered it, dunno. But I’ll think about it. It’s one of those subjects where too little can lead to bad information but too much can lead to zero comprehension.

@@PsionicAudio Much appreciated! Yes a TON of work, a passion project for sure. You've really inspired me to try working on amps, I've did a series on my channel where I rebuilt an old '55 Magnatone 108 I bought broken which was the start of the journey. Really hooked now to the vintage amp thing, and love watching your stuff to try and soak up as much as I can! Just finished your 65 AC30 series in fact, gleaning as much as possible before I tackle my 64 AC10Twin that's been basically untouched other than the fuse added for use here in the US. I know you had a thread on the gear page from like 08 or something documenting you working on one, but all of the photo's are gone. Would love to see those photo's if you still have them! - Tanner

I see no help for you yet. Maybe I can. The speaker and the guitar pick ups have the most impact on tone. So money well spent. Do you have a tone you're after? Many current Fender speakers are sourced from Eminence OEM. Vintage Jensen and Utah. I might suggest you look at Eminence speakers. They have good descriptions and specs on their site. I can say that you need 8 ohms...regardless of the maker or voicing you want.

You have mentioned in a few videos your light bulb when you power in. I assume this is a light bulb in series with one side of the AC power cord in to the amp? But what I was wondering, where I live incandescent light bulbs are no longer available. I don’t know if any other type of light bulb (pretty sure LED bulbs are a no go for this purpose) has the same characteristics in that if the current goes too quickly up, from a short the bulb will limit how quickly and fail?

Why beef up the screen grid resistors on the Jr.? Wouldn't you want to leave them the same wattage/resistance to sort of "act" like fuse in the event of a tube failure? Not asking to start an argument or anything, just generally curious as I recently had an EL34 die at a show and take the screen grid resistor with it. Someone had mentioned on a forum that this can be a common thing and that he'd rather replace a resistor than up the up the wattage to prevent burning one out in the event of a future tube failure.

Because the stock resistor gives false failures and burns the crap out of the PCB. And the stock 100 ohm shortens tube life.
