hmm, it didn't work. no sound at all. Any thoughts?

thank you sir

What I want to do is pan between two pickup sources on my guitar. I have a 12 string acoustic on which I have installed a L R Baggs I- Beam soundboard transducer pickup with preamp. I then added a under saddle piezo pickup. Then i soldered 3/32 mono connector onto the piezo pickup wire since...

alright, so I put the 500K pots back in and replaced the cap with the 47K one. Big difference. The tone control works now! I can almost make the guitar sound decent by rolling off the highs without any effects. Not possible before. Thanks again for all your help.

thanks everybody. Very informative stuff. I found a cap on an old guitar I have that actually says 473K on it with 50vy under that. Could I assume that is the value you were referring to mshilarious? Anyway, I am going to switch back to the 500k pots and try this new cap later today. I also...

nope, it says 10K in big letters on it :) , by the way, I switched out both the volume and tone control pots for 10K ones. Before that the tone control didn't seem to work so I figured why not. That makes me think you're probably correct about the cap being no good.

cap is 2A222J

sorry Outlaw, I was typing and didn't see your post show up. I'll take a look and see what the cap says on it. thanx.

I don't really know what kind of capacitor it is but I did check several sources online for tone control wiring diagrams and it is wired properly. I believe, from what I've rad so far, that if I try a different value capacitor it will give a more dramatic result. If I'm not mistaken, a capacitor...

thanx for the advice H2H. I jsut finished swapping out the pot for a 10K and I didn't notice a huge change in volume. I presume that's what you mean by diminished signal. and I noticed no difference in tone whatsoever. as a matter of fact, it seems like the tone control does almost nothing to...

I read somewhere that if you use a lower resistance potentiometer it will give your guitar less high frequencies. I currently have a 500K pot on the volume of my SST and it sounds terribly trebley. thought maybe a mod like this might help. Does anybody know why it wouldn't work?

lesterpaul, just curious about what was involved in the repair. I've been without my classic 50 for a few years now, and would like to get it repaired if possible. I think it was under a leaky tarp after an outdoor concert and ever since then I power it up and the tubes all but explode and...

also the bypass will be a push button type, either on or off. I assume that this should bo somewhere between the power amp speaker outs and the crossover itself?

i want to add a cross over to my amp alon with a tweeter for playing my acoustic thru. simple enough I think. the problem is that I also want to be able to by pass the cross over for playin electric thru the amp but I can't figure out how to wire it properly. crossover consists of...

Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster that's it. thanx. that was gonna keep bugging me. haven't read the book in many years and it was a loaner when I did read it. fprod south, "organic", great adjective. Thankyou. I noticed that about the drums too. From now on, no mixing after midnight for me...

khompewtur, by the way, what was the name of the blue beverage in that book?

khompewtur, thanks for the complimentxsz. i'm recording to a fostex fd-8, acoustic guitar is a gibson mk53 I think, marshall mxl2001 mic for acoustic and vocals, epi lp thru line 6 flextone II amp direct into the fostex, behringer compressor on the vocals to tame louder stuff. drums were miked...

fattmusiek, thanks for the compliments. and when you're tired, you're tired;) . studioviols, again, that was a great (read informative and helpful) review. I'm still working on the first song I posted, thanks to your advice, and after having listened to this one so much, I'm afraid that once...
