    Hum from amp, buzz from guitar

    My hum was the outside fuse box on the other side of the wall. If you rotate your body 360 and hear a quiet spot, then you're guitar is acting as an antenna. I bought an RF dectector on eBay and that's how I found the really noisy spot was the fuse box. Moved everything to the other side of...

    First amp build, codename “Heavyweight Champ”. In progress.

    Finishing walnut and pine are very different. Pine needs to be sealed before finishing or it will be blotchy! I used Varathane seal first, then their 'gunstock' color stain on this. Then rattle can Minwax satin poly. I used the oil based product for all three of these. Then knocked down...

    Explain like I'm 5, what is going on in this pedal to make is sound like this, please?

    I've been playing for 58 years, but the arthritis is getting worse and worse. You'll soon be better than I am! I recently strained my left ring finger in a five fret stretch. Normally I wouldn't have, but I was quickly switching back and forth from chords to lead and *missed*...

    Looks like the middle upside down one is about 5/8" taller than the others...... Betting the knob is under it!

    “How did they make that sound” thread

    I do, but I stick to the amp tech page. Some of those other pages are just full of fools....

    Procreate users?

    I use Visio. Older versions are available for Windows for a low price, brand new is *very* expensive. But I did find this review of pro's and con's. https://doubletap.art/can-procreate-be-used-for-graphic-design-pros-and-cons-explained/

    Parasite Wah pot that fits all the specs/dimensions

    They say when it rains it pours.... My RAM truck overheated on the way home a month ago, lost the serpentine belt because the water pump had like 5 inches of up and down play in it. Killed the fan, the shroud, and the heat generated fried the power steering and the transmission. In the shop...

    Anyone Keep a Log Book of Your Pedals and Pedal Settings?

    Ditto, with 'caption' of what sound/song it's for, in a folder labeled pedal and amp settings. Far faster, no paper, never loose it in the cloud.

    Parasite Wah pot that fits all the specs/dimensions

    I did find some, but can't remember what they were. They are in the packaging I got with them with part#/supplier data. I have the project in mothballs right now as I kept getting covid repeatedly after this and all the way up to the beginning of 2024. I seemed to have developed a very good...

    Points/Rewards System

    This strain I've bred for almost a decade has developed a beautiful aroma. Pineapple, watermelon, pine, skunk, and citrus. Good CBD as well as THC. Glistens with crystals!!!!

    What's on the workbench?

    Yeah, I can't even play video games anymore. Arthritis in my fingers. The more I use them, the faster they'll stop working completely. So, if I'm gonna wear them out it'll be on the guitar!!!!

    Questions about graphics

    Most graphic programs have the ability to make a square, then define the dimensions for it, they all have very different interfaces for doing this. Along with that, there is a coordinate system for setting where you want 0,0 to be. And the orientation of the square, or other object you've...

    Best potentiometer

    Well you do want to keep them from wandering around on their own. A easily turned knob is not good. They do have an almost hydraulic feeling. Especially on high wattage combo tube amps, where vibration will move them around if they are not tight. But I wouldn't call it binding. Dampened I...
