No. Switch reminds me. I think Instead of clipping to the pot I put the lead on the switch lug and probably clipped the other lead to whichever pot lug it was supposed to be on. Maybe it was to avoid cramming two clips on adjacent lugs - I crammed all the info from a Radio Shack book and whatever guitar electronics I could pick up from books. Once I got the stuff working the skills no longer mattered and the knowledge just faded away. lol...

I know this. I have one installed series parallel on a switch which I had on a board that had also a different cap and resistor in series; also switched. I just taped the board to the body and had the wires going under the pickguard. For some reason I distinctly remember something I installed and that it didn't matter where in the circuit it was because guitar electronics end up to ground. I gotta see if I can remember wtf it was.

Old pedal. This guy's kinda funny too. Pedal also sounds great. Skip to the tube screamer part (last four minutes) if you think you've heard it all.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've put a treble bleed ahead of the vol pot and/or on the ground after it. It's been a while since I had that one and I don't recall which or how. I do recall it made little difference if any.

Still progressing at the method. Nothing to blast about on youtube but it definitely works.

Did I mention the industry died?

Psionic...

Found a workaround in a 5150 ish tone. You know the stringy one from the Charone era? De-gain it and play with fingers.

Lol, it'll be 200 bucks by the time I get to it. Oh well...

There a demo with that pieswitch guy - 'll go grab that after this paragraph. Was blown by the stringy crunch transparency. Mostly guitar ability but ey... I'm going through my Chinese collection to see if I can get there. According to Wampler, it's a Bad Monkey/OD-1 abomination.

The other EVH guitar.

Elegant dirt.

I get it. I'm just attempting to be the traffic. Humma doon?

None there. No such colors in the wild. Maybe boards. :D

Seems this one got past over. I like the teal one.

On my guitars, I find with distortion - as you probably have in drop tunings, fourths and fifths need to be very close to the overtone series or the overblown harmonics will object adamantly. Thirds need to be on the dark side as well and probably be way out to your ears. If you use your standard guitar tuner, the thirds and even octaves will be brightened up. Needless to say, powerchords will beat mechanically. You may have to go with a custom just intonation. IOW for the key you're in and avoid clashy voicings.

They're are many more different models if anyone's interested.

I gave myself tennis elbow as a kid so my understanding of that is, it's from banging on the tendons . Regardless, my older and wiser approach involves glacial tempi warmups tracking the sticks instead of propelling them. This required chucking the traditional teeter totter methods for percussion grips that offered farm more real time control and most important, damping. Proper damping is key to musical playing and minimizing injury.

Tap on the big tubes with a pen.

Looks to have porcupine or razorback genes.

I think the planet is up to speed now. Happy New Year... Speaking of cat headaches, I thought I would practice drums under cover of all the ordnance. Perfect. Nope, cat runs in at the first explosion and parks right under my hihats. 🤓

Man the holidays red white and green dicholas. Free likes from now until NYz Day.

It salvages some tone but won't improve it - except by contrast?

A break from me? And some cheap pedals in your honor.
