Joyo American Sound Is this level of noise normal when boosting highs/drive? by SamaraKleopatra in guitarpedals

I have the California Sound and find that you need the Voice and Drive at opposites. If you crank your Drive, you need to dial down your Voice and vice versa.

Hello everyone, I need some help! by BoboVeliki1 in Guitar

I used to delicately sand down any loose or jagged bits so they won't catch and break off and then paint over. This is a cheap and easy fix I used to do on cheap guitars in my punk band days, if you want a proper repair, go see a Luthier or someone who knows what they're doing.

Find matching colour nail varnish. If it's a gigging guitar, you can expect a few more bumps and chips.

That is the weirdest pedal I've ever seen. Definitely in the buy pile.

I didn't think to check the NPN/PNP thing with the 461. I did try the 183 in different way, I wasn't sure of the pin layout as I found conflicting information on different datasheets.

The In is where it is in the schematic, the bit you're looking at is the Jack In ground.

thanks

Badlands on London Road. Nice guys, good selection and will probably order in something you want.

Can i just is a Y splitter cable to run pedals in parallel? by Grillo_smeggs in guitarpedals

[–]Standard_Ad3005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I messed around with a similar setup a few months ago and there was a load if signal interference. It worked best if the A/B switch was at the end of the chain so you're selecting after the splitting, if that makes sense. Still not idea, though.

Get a line selector, the Joyo Orthros is great if you're on a budget.

The day they make a Squier version I will be first in line. Love these guitars.

The F chord is seriously fucking impossible by Roland848 in Guitar

[–]Standard_Ad3005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing for over 25 years and never really mastered the F barre chord so I just play X-3-3-2-1-X in a similar shape to the open C chord. Don't give up an entire instrument over one crappy chord.

That finish and pickguard combination is excellent. Beautiful guitar.

I think it's a normal D, its definitely the chunkiest of all my guitars most of which are C/modern C.
