A big thank you to Ed at Dave's Guitar Shop in WI for not only selling me this amplifier but also working with me to address the hum issue. The PCB flux issue was unknown to both parties until I disassembled.

Another shout out to Brad over at MyGuitarSupply in GA for selling me a new EHX Valve Set for this amp.

The Classic 30 needs no introduction, they are extremely popular, robust, & sound amazing!....On the flip side they are difficult to service if you have the L-Shaped 3 boards, they run hot which makes them eat through power valves faster than normal, and a few other quirks. All easily fixable.

This edition of the Classic 30 II is the newer version with a double sided PCB, not the L-Shaped 3 board version that techs love to hate due to their difficult nature to service. Being it is a 2013 manufacture year it's close to needing new filter caps, but not the issue in this video.

I dont see many YouTube videos about the newer Classic 30 II edition, likely because its still a fairly young amp. Hope this video helps others. any questions please ask away!

Thank you for watching!
