Import 5-Way Strat Switch Wiring

This is the wiring scheme which worked for me. It is adapted from the one at Baja toneworks on YouTube. Please note that there is no tone control for the neck pickup in this scheme – the bridge and middle pickups have their own tone pots.

Inserting Tuner Bushels

I recently installed new tuners on my Telecaster. Getting the tuner washers into the pre-drilled holes can be quite tough as it’s usually a very tight fit. Used a technique I learned on a forum post. This involves using a bolt and nut to gently push the Tuner washer instead of trying to hammer it in. Like so: Gently insert the Tuner washers into the pre-drilled holes and insert a suitably sized…

Reducing Pickup Mounting Hole Size

Right so if you’ve ever bought used pickups then you’d know that these often come without mounting screws and hardware – the mounting holes may be too small for screws you gave handy. Or if you’ve removed pickups from a body mount guitar and want to mount it on a regular guitar you will often find the hole is too big. So how do you fix this? One way is to find a bolt which fits your screw and…

Tonebender MkII clone with NOS OC75 germanium transistors from the 1960’s matched as best as possible. Indulged myself on the pedal art :). #guitarpedals #diyguitarpedals #handmadeguitarpedals #fuzzpedals #fuzz #germaniumfuzz #germaniumtransistors #diylife https://www.instagram.com/p/BttiOoPnYhI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=awlmwsq3l3ge

First build of 2019. The EA Tremolo with LFO killswitch. Very nice sounding tremolo. The killswitch shuts of the tremolo effect and turns the pedal into a clean boost. Super useful. #guitarpedals #handmadeguitarpedals #diylife #guitar #tremolo #guitarpcb #eatremolo https://www.instagram.com/p/Bttgpu3n2aw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=50lmimusmb5d

Marshall DSL-15 accident: Plugging in a 110v amp into a 220v supply

Marshall DSL-15 accident: Plugging in a 110v amp into a 220v supply

My band was playing an important show and I was late for soundcheck. I had decided to use my Marshall DSL-15 head through a Laney V30 loaded cabinet for the show and was excited to see how the bedroom tweaking would translate live when mic’d up.     Didn’t get the chance. I had walked off stage to haul up the rest of my gear after having deposited amp and cabinet onstage and the overly helpful…

So apparently car paint goes on very well on pedals. Top parts in this Clay Jones overdrive clone. Sounds like a tubescreamer on steroids. #diyguitarpedals #diy #guitarpedals #guitars #boutiquepedals #overdrive #overdrivepedal https://www.instagram.com/p/BqXN7PcnwDi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sjespcp0o6rp
