I got the same advice from him. I just can't stand the taper of 1M Volume pots. The high resistance amplifies cable capacitance losses. If you have a B1M Volume pot at 50%, you're forming an RC filter at 500k + Cable Capacitance. It's no wonder that your signal turns to mud at the slightest...

After half a decade of trying out different wirings, I settled on: Upper Bout: 1M pots Lower Bout: 250k pots Yeah, it's not an exciting wiring scheme, but everything else left me unsatisfied. With the 250k pots it's like plugging in a Tele and plays nicely with normal amp settings and...

Definitely DM Sunday Handwound on Reverb. I told him I love almost every JM Neck pickup but get frustrated because the Bridge Pickups are always either Ice-Picky or way too hot. He completely understood what I was talking about and made me a perfect set that I'm happy with.

I vented to the guy over Reverb DM's about how I love the JM Neck sounds but can never find the right Bridge Pickup. He made me a Woodchime Neck and Woody Bridge set and I've never been happier with a guitar.

After six years of tweaking a Squier VMJM, I finally put together a Jazzmaster a few weeks ago. Also went with Sunday Handwound pickups. Really really happy with the result. I'll check out your vid a bit later.

Do any DPDT switches out there have the nice feel that these do?

This is the part I could use some help with. Placement of the Jacks and Mini Rotary Switches.

Now that I think of it, the DPDT switches might be unnecessary if switching TRS jacks are used. Just plug in an expression pedal and the Rotary gets disconnected. The T and R from the Top Jacks would go to the T and R of the bottom jacks, then the secondary lugs would connect to the Rotary when...

The plan is simple. 2 TRS Jacks on top. 2 TRS Jacks on bottom. 2 Mini Rotaries and 2 DPDT switches on the face. Left and Right channel design. Top TRS goes to DPDT Switch. DPDT Switch switches the Mini Rotary or Bottom TRS Jack. Mini Rotary will have a 22k series resistor, then voltage divide...

Great pedals, but, there are hidden second and third layers of controls set by holding Alt keys and turning knobs. The pedals lack any ability to save / recall presets without MIDI or their proprietary Preset Switch. So it's very time consuming to dial in a good sound, and very easy to lose it...

Does anyone have a Tayda Drill Template for 1590B Top Mount? Ideally there would be 2 Pots on there as well.

Negative ground? Ground is just ground mang.

So that would cover keeping the Gate from going to zero... but that's not really what is needed here is it? What is needed is for the FET to not act as an on/off switch and do gradual attenuation. Knowing a little bit about Vgs cutoff and FET variability, that might be asking for too much.

Looking at the Muffler schematic, the first idea I had was to insert resistance between Q3 Source and VREF_B; that way the attenuation can never go all the way to zero. It turns out that's exactly what Mark Hammer recommends, and he suggested a 250k pot.

Yeah thank you. I'm just going to use this thread to journal my thoughts and project. I'm sure others will chime from time to time. My first inclination is to modify the MXR Noise Gate. It's a classic, so there are a few threads about mods on Diystompboxes, and PedalPCB has a board.

Well... think of all the things we go through to make our Electric Guitars sound great.

So, I quickly whipped up an Expander in SpinCad designer and flashed the FV-1 pedal on my pedalboard. Playing around it with it, I can tell that Downward Expansion is going to make Bluegrass licks sound much more authentic. Now, I'd like to build an analog Noise Gate and mod it to work as an...

After a decade of eyeballing the Goldtone EB-5, I finally bought one. It's an awesome design. Simplistic like a Telecaster. It has all of the Banjo sounds, albeit in different proportions to an acoustic Banjo. Playability is excellent. So far, I love this thing. There are, however, a few...

Great analysis and really cool circuit. The Fuzz pot is even more of an oddity when you imagine it connected to your guitar. With the Fuzz pot at max and your Guitar Volume at max, your pickups are going to get the most loaded by Q1 and the Negative Feedback path. Then as you turn the Fuzz pot...

Shoot. I've been using those as substitutes because someone on another forum said they were the same tranny, different manufacturer.
