What an entertaining video! Ben seems like a genuinely nice guy and is funny as Hell!

I like the neat overhead and straight drop on the filament wiring.
what is this relay looking assembly? part of a Tremolo circuit?

 

[67plexi]

The relay is to switch the overdrive channel on and off

Sorry the one pointed out is a added pre-amp boost,

Gotta love the shout out to True Tone. Possibly the best music store on the planet.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

Where is that, gball?

Where is that, gball?

Santa Monica, CA. If you are ever in the LA area it's a must-do visit. That and Norman's Rare Guitars in Tarzana.

I’ve been here 40 years and knew about neither. Clueless in OC.

Ben does have #008 ODS-50 Dumble. I don't like his overdrive sounds the OD trimmer needs to be adjusted on both amps. It could be the speaker used to some degree Dumble used Altec speakers in his early amps then switched to EVM-12L or EVM-12S What I got out of the video was the real PAF pickups clear tone the Klon that's a good example what the real Klon does
I was going to get the Vibe-Bro I settled with the Drybell Vibe Machine 2 it's so touchy on the speed control I had to get a Mission engineering Ep-25-Pro-Gc expression peddle in conjunction
with the Hilton Pro Guitar volume peddle.

Check them out if you get the chance, between them they probably sell more gear to the pros in LA than all the other shops combined. Also the Fret House in Covina.

I watch the YouTube vids from Norman's Rare Guitars all the time. Seems like this coolest place ever.

Googled the Truetone website, nice looking place.

And a shout out to one of my local shops, Harbor Music in Redondo Beach for anyone near the South Bay. Great people, good deals, and they have their own line of F-style guitars that are actually some of the best I have ever played.

And a shop that is literally just a couple blocks from where I live, Mike's Guitar Parlor in Hermosa Beach. He's got an incredible selection of vintage and CS guitars and it's a great place to hang out and just shoot the with other players.
