Conspiracy 2 commit child labour???

IS THERE A SCHEMATIC FOR THIS???? 🤡

My surgical tubing is a hose from disposable low volume air mask so yeah, that’s as surgical as it gets. Those masks are used in infarmys and operating rooms. Yeah, tubing is in. Installed new bridge and changed other pickups too, but something’s still off. I’ll try changing tone caps next as...

My problem child is an SG-like Aria CS-250 so no pick guards or other hollow sections apart the switch and pot cavity. Fixed topmount bridge and so on. I’ll look that article up!

Took guitar apart for bridge change and noticed PUs fit too tightly in their cavities. Maybe that is the source of unwanted body resonance pickup?

Yes,,,If it has clean blend. Where do these noise gaters dwell?🤡 Good! At first I thought you’re not helping, but on the other hand you really might have a point there. HB on neck and p90 (hb sized) on bridge, both originally bridge PUs. Selector switch leaves coil start hanging there on air...

Better to start a thread about this as ”use less gain” isn’t a solution. Long story short replaced crazy microphonic og pups in my main guitar with a wax potted ones. They were fine at first, but after problem came back. Whole guitar is piezo and no matter where I tap it’s heard through...

Haven’t done any transistor based PPs, but I’ve messed with tubes. Would your circuit be tweakable with adjustable bias or bias balance as it’s done with tubes? If the old NPN is cooked I’d go replacing PNP and NPN sides with new transistors and adding a bias adjustment addon there. With tubes...

Dunno if this helps, but while ago I cooked couple Ge transistor exceeding their max current limit with trimpot on FF circuit and after that my cheap component tester read cooked transistors as shorted/faulty component. Cannot recall if it was E or C tied to B, but nevertheless that gave a diode...

Some E83CCs and couple 5751s bought within last two years. Haven’t really looked into manufacturing time, but there’s always a chance they date earlier.

Couple months ago I bought NOS Telefunken 12AT7 from my local shop with ~20 coins and I know they’re reliable and test their tubes. Still it wasn’t good and had terrible microphonics. Got money back and they let me too keep the tube. Haven’t had guts to test it again, but maybe some day it find...

PM’d.

I have three leftovers of a quad. The fourth one gave up and made a good flash. Willing to trade those for some NOS ecc83 goods. Maybe we first need to wait this import/export toll thing figure itself out?

I’ll try to get on with it in next few days!

IMO Ionosphere sucked, is this more worth building? If it is, I’ll verify your layout within couple weeks.
