The main issue is I want to control the "direct input level" knob of my boss OC-2 with my feet. The 3rd Hand is the only way I can find. However, I've heard that the thing is very unreliable, and I'm not comfortible with paying 80-90$ on an empty metal enclosure with a few (probably plastic) gears in it. especially if it's unreliable, which I've read that it is. (I think anyone whos ...

So my project to apply clear nitro on an old Strat neck is coming along very well. I'm using a re-ranch can and it works as expected. There is one problem, though: when I spray the back of the neck, there is too much paint building up where the back has the edge to the fretboard. When I spray directly at a right angle to the back of the neck, too much paint lands on what from the ...

I have a Charvel model 3 and a jackson ps4-and need to no what truss wrenchs to get for them?anyone out there know?

where is the ground lift placed? i am building a passive direct box based on a jensen jt-db-e transformer http://www.jensen-transformers.com/datashts/dbe.pd f ... it looks like it goes from the ground circuit to pin 1, then inbetween pin 1 and the casing/shield. is the ground symbol on this schematic mean pin 0 (the connection to the xlr housing)?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has tried the electronics cavity/pickup insulator kit? The reviews for the product say it cures 60mhz noise 100%!! What are some of the results you encountered? Is it better to do the metallic paint and cavity shield/pickup wrap? I use SHo pickups and they are about the same noise wise as the Gibson pups it came with. Should I just do the whole shebang...

Hi all I currently have two 10' Canare L-4E6S balanced cables with Neutrik TRS connectors that I cannot sell for some reason. I was wondering if, using the same connectors, I could convert them to unbalanced TS cables for my amp's efx loop? Essentially I would wire the two hot wires together to the TIP, and keep the ground to the SLEEVE, and leave the RING unsoldered. Would this...

I have a pair of speakers which do not have any labels indicating their impedance. Using a multimeter, the DC resistance is twelve ohms for each. Am I right in thinking that the AC impedance will be around sixteen ohms? Cheers.

Why is it such a gigantic pain in the ass? I like to work on guitars, but when it comes to soldering, I feel like a kindergartner trying to master the crayon. The phrase, "it worked on paper" never applied to anything more than (my) soldering.

ive begun modding my USA Vox V847 wah and i need a little help. i installed a new inductor, which works fine, but i also want to do a "vocal mod" to switch out the 33k resistor problem is i cant seem to find it. If somebody could tell me where it is, i would greatly appreciate it. ive checked out all the values of the resistors and theyre doesnt seem to be a 33k one. There is a ...

Hey, I just got a beautiful PRS Custom 22 and im terrified of using my strap incase it falls. I want to replace the standard strap buttons with schallers but i am unsure about the size of the holes in the PRS. Are they bigger or smaller than the schallers screw? Has anyone fitted schallers on a PRS before? Or should i go for dunlops? Any help with be great thanx Nabil

Wotcher. I've been doing some stripey enclosures recently, but the stripes aren't coming out as clean as I'd like so I was wondering if anyone had any tips. What I've been doing is the normal primer coats, then the colour(s) I want the stripes to be, then a coat of lacquer. I then let it all dry and harden. Next I pop on the masking tape and over-spray with the main colour. I give that...
