No, I'm still being pulled between the Eclipse and the H3000 or H3500. For the price, the Eclipse sounds great, but does it have all of the same Vocoder and Pitch Shifting effects that are in the older H3000 units? You know, the effects that allow your guitar to sound like munchkins, monsters...

I think the H3000 only has XLR-type inputs. I remember that being one of my main problems with it. I'll look into the H3500. I plan on seriously studying all of them before making a purchase. I read up on the Vocoder features! I never knew what those sounds were called, but I do now...

Hmmm, H3000 or Eclipse? I'm mostly after the harmonizing and pitch-shifting abilities of an Eventide unit. The other effects are icing on the cake. Does the H3000 offer pretty much the same effects as the late Eclipse? Last night I read a Guitar Player Magazine review of the Eclipse...

I've become quite intrigued with Eventide's line of Harmonizers. Does anyone here have any knowledge of them, or own one? Recommended models? They're all very expensive, but seem to create the sounds that I would be willing to pay for! http://www.eventide.com/

Great info. I also found a great Resistance Calculator at TheLEDLight.com that gives the suggested resistor for any LED configuration. With all of the above info and suggestions, I've decided to just go with a 9 volt as the power source. Just seems like it would be easier to wire up as the...

Yeah, the dreaded hum from old monitors. When recording a take, I have to shut my monitor off in order to avoid the hum! At least until I get around to purchasing a flat-screen LCD monitor. I've been told that these don't have the hum problem with guitars...

Where does the resistor get wired up? On the positive or negative side?

Yeah, I didn't think there were that many wires to deal with. It's been awhile since I've been inside of it, but 2 or 3 wires sounds about right. Like you said. I think I'll go ahead and try it out. Guitar electronics is so much fun!

I'm starting to have remorse. I'm thinking that I should go ahead and use a 9 volt for the power. StewMac.com has a great little 9 volt battery holder that would tuck it away snug and neat inside the guitar...but where? Would it be wise to go and get a 9 volt LED rather than the 3.7 volt that...

Wow! I can see how you could have a blast with that. A great way to test something before installing in your main guitar.

Yeah, I'm doing all my mods on my main electric, so I like everything to be done perfect and neat. I was just curious if the quick disconnects would harm anything as far as tone or connection. I imagine not. By the way, what's the "breadboard" that you speak of? I've never heard that term...

I'm often upgrading my Strat; experimenting with pickups and whatnot. As most of you probably know, this requires taking off the pickguard in order to get to all of the electronics. Many times I've thought how much easier these kinds of jobs could be if all the wires that are attached to the...

Any recommendations about the placement of the small 3 volt watch battery? Around the tone knobs?...Around the tremolo springs in the back? I guess it doesn't really matter. I imagine wiring questions will be soon! I really do appreciate all the help and ideas...I'm just someone who likes to...

I'm using one 3.7 volt blue LED from Radio Shack...powered by a 3 volt battery.

Yeah, I did. But geez, is the 3v really going to be that bad?! It's not like I'd be running it every hour of play. How long should I expect the 3v to last? I don't want to have to change a battery out every month. I went with a small battery in order to avoid routing, and save room within...

It's just for cosmetic purposes. I figured somebody here would call me dumb soon or later. You went pretty easy on me, with a simple question about my madness! Thanks! I originally was going to use a 9v, but didn't like the idea of having that huge of a battery in my guitar for such a small...

The L.E.D. package that I got has- Forward Current: 20mA typ./30mA max. I don't believe this has anything to do with resistors though, does it? I noticed Radio Shack has 47ohm resistors. Would these be safe, and still allow the L.E.D. to shine brightly? Also, I just got a SPDT Micromini...

Wow, this is starting to sound more difficult than I thought it would be. I chose a 3v watch battery, because I didn't like the idea of a huge 9v battery in my guitar for such a small purpose. I guess I need to get a resistor also. Probably just a 50ohm, since I want to keep the brightness of...

Great. I finally found battery holders for watch batteries. With continuous on-line searches, I was able to narrow it down to "Lithium Coin Cell Battery Holders". This pulled up a slew of options. But Radio Shack down the road doesn't carry the coin-sized holders, so it looks like I'm going...

What kind of electrical wire is needed to wire up a 5mm 3.7 volt L.E.D.? There's two wires coming out of the L.E.D. Will pretty much any small split-loom wire work? It needs to run on a 3 volt watch battery, and be able to be turned on and off with a mini toggle switch. Also, does anyone...
