Is anyone experiencing squealing with the ribbon cable? @Betty Wont I couldn’t find a mention of what wiring you’re using.
Do ribbons have any shielding ability? Im pretty sure my issue is due to the spaghetti wires I ran. I’m also not to bothered as I love the sound below 10 o’clock on the gain. But it would be cool to resolve the squeal and know what caused it.Is anyone experiencing squealing with the ribbon cable? @Betty Wont I couldn’t find a mention of what wiring you’re using.
I used regular wire but placed it tight, straight, and parallel just like ribbon cable.Is anyone experiencing squealing with the ribbon cable? @Betty Wont I couldn’t find a mention of what wiring you’re using.
I've seen at least one build report with really spaghetti wiring and it was positive without squealing. Does anyone else's squeal without anything plugged into the input?Do ribbons have any shielding ability? Im pretty sure my issue is due to the spaghetti wires I ran.

Yeah, that’s what I was wondering. The post above has the wires arranged similarly. The only difference I can think of here is a thicker gauge? I’m not sure if that would have an impact though.I used regular wire but placed it tight, straight, and parallel just like ribbon cable.
Mine squeals the same with guitars plugged in too.Mine squeals like a stuck pig if nothing is plugged in. At any gain or volume. Plugged in it's totally quiet even with vol and gain at max (although holy crap is it loud). If the squealing bothers you it can be tamed with a normal amp approach and using a shorting jack to shunt to ground.
Moving the wires on mine didn't change the issue. I dont see this as a shielding issue. The oscillation is coming from the board.No input cable and it’s the same.
So if I use shielded cable for the input/output where should I solder the shield to. The ground lug?
Next guess would be to run the switch wires like the other slo post on here. Backside of the board and over to the side down to switch.

Stupid question but would isolated jacks perhaps narrow down the issue? Or even just removing the jacks from the enclosure to see if there is a grounding issue?Moving the wires on mine didn't change the issue. I dont see this as a shielding issue. The oscillation is coming from the board.
