Here's what I've got and the order I'm thinking, please let me know if you have any suggestions on changing the order, thanks in advance! Korg Pitchblack tuner > Analog Man Black Logo Envelope Filter> Keely Compressor+ > MXR Hand-wired 1974 Vintage Phase 90> Tube Screamer Mini > Wampler...

Soooo I just bought one of these off ebay, and then realized it's only powered by 9v battery, which means it'll be a huge pain to unplug the patch cables from it on my pedalboard every time I finish playing. I can't find anything about adding a 9v (Boss-style) input jack so that I can power it...

I just got a brand new Harley Benton Tube15, which is a rebranded Monoprice amp which was a rebranded Laney Cub 12. My problem is when I try to play clean through the amp with the gain turned all the way down I get little to no volume, until the volume knob turned is close to all the way up, and...

Here's my current setup: Guitar > tuner > Wah > DOD envelope filter > compressor > TS clone > Big Muff Green Russian > Phaser > Flashback X4 The problem is when I have the big muff on it seems as though nothing changes when I change my pickup selector. It's the same on different guitars, 3...

I need to raise my power supply so that the 9V inputs are above the bars of the pedalboard. Any suggestions on what to shim between the power supply and the board to raise it?

Re: 5-way selector switch "popping" Yeah, it's a nice satin finish. Really an impressive guitar for under $300 new.

Re: 5-way selector switch "popping" Thanks Artie! Also, if you remember I was asking a bunch of questions about adding split/series/parallel switches and a phase switch to my Ibanez AS53, I drilled the holes myself, installed the pickups, did all the soldering... and then realized something was...

I just bought a 1981 Ibanez Blazer, and when changing the pickup selector there are audible pops between each position. You can hear it a bit in the video, but occasionally there are even louder and longer crackles. It's more prevalent when the phase switch is flipped to out of phase. Does this...

I just finished installing two new humbuckers, wired to series/coil/parallel switches. Before I put everything back in the guitar I tested the pickups with a screwdriver to make sure everything was working. The neck seems to be working fine, and is loud when I tap it with the screwdriver, but...

So I had my first experience installing new humbuckers and wiring a couple mini toggle switches. I have a 4-conductor humbucker going to an on-on-on switch for series-coil-parallel, and then that switch going to a phase reverse on-on switch. When the 3-way is on one of the ends (not sure if it's...

Re: Wiring an out of phase switch Thanks guys. So knowing that (and knowing I don't have a meter) would you say this is an on-on switch judging by these photos?

When wiring an out of phase switch to put two humbuckers In and out of phase, does the DPDT switch have to be on-on or can it be on-off? How can you tell if a switch is on on or on off? Thank you!

I'm replacing the pickups in my Ibanez AS53, and adding two series/coil/parallel switches and one out of phase switch. (Already decided against the triple shots). I'd like to try this project myself instead of having a shop do it, although I'm finding it really hard to get any info online...

I have an Ibanez AS53, semi-hollow body, which has a bit of an arch to the top, but by looking at my current pickup rings they look like they're flat, not curved.. Will these work? https://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_sts2s_triple_shot_mounting.htm Thank you! Eric

After doing some research on various setups for me Ibanez AS53, I've decided to change the pickups to SH-1 59's. I want to add a DPDT switch to each pickup that goes Series/Coil/Parallel like on this guitar. Is it possible to add a third switch that will allow for in-phase and out-of-phase...
