Re: P-Rail - I'm stumped, guitar tech is stumped. One P-Rail, two push pull pots You could do it easily with a two section sp4t rotary switch, but that will eat your tone control spot. To give an idea, in the most simplistic form you would need a truth table that looked like this: The...

Re: Post your Stratocasters The YJM was blue at one point, but it’s probably a nitro finish and aged into a sort of mint. The neck is sticky as hell too. Forgive the rags on the floor I spilt some solvents.

Re: Which DiMarzios have about the same output as the Duncan Distortion? Only Some of the models like the super line and others that use the fatter hex slugs use a silicon type caulking material to hold the magnet to the base plate, and to give the bobbins some cushion. it’s easy to pry off...

Re: Anyone Here Ever Try The Mojotone Effects Loop Kit? Unfortunately I have never ordered it so I can’t. I however also offer a loop that is very high quality and is series/parallel. See pic. You would want to make sure you have a suitable power supply for any aftermarket loop you install.

Does anybody know of a source for chrome 5-40 hex poles similar to those in the full shred or a lot of dimarzio products? I can’t find them in a grade suitable for poles at any online fastener distributor, all seem to have a high carbon content stainless steel. Addiction FX is also no longer...

For sale Dactivator neck and bridge set, yellow with black poles, f-spaced. Plenty of lead wire on each (over 9”). $87.00 for the set shipped. Will consider trade offers, and selling individually.

Re: How to get preamp overdrive with fx loop? Sorry for the delay. This is the easiest method as far as construction. You would have to do something like this: Note you would need to supply the circuit with 300v and you need stereo jacks for the output from the unit to the input into the...

Re: Magnet way too narrow in new Dimarzio D-Activator?? That's normal for all dimarzio pickups that use the thicker ceramic mags and the two rows of Allen slugs (not Allen cap screws) typically there is a thin ferrous metal spacer. This is a super 3 that has the same construction as a...

Re: Beam Tetrode EL34s This one I built a couple of years ago has a low impedance quad bias: it's kinda hard to see but it's on the side of the main board next to the power supply board. It might be a little overkill, but at the time I was more concerned with exceeding the maximum rl for for...

Have fun!, More to come when time allows. Sorry for the poor audio, I'm recovering from a small surgery and couldn't bring myself to fire the rig up. slow: https://soundcloud.com/joeyvoltage/new-recording-81 Med: https://soundcloud.com/joeyvoltage/new-recording-82 Notation:

Re: Magnet swap to fix JB's muddy cleans Both Correct, because the DCR as a parameter doesn't define any of them, and Incorrect because the higher DCR actually retards all of them and has a negative effect because it dampens the resonance peak, which is counter to what most people believe or...

Re: Shred techniques? Here is an easy lick to get you started. It's all in A minor on one string, the high E, and it's a good lick to get your fingers warmed and to visualize the notes horizontally up and down the neck. Im playing it at about 130 in the example, which isn't blistering, but...
