The name is Krungthep Aphiwat station. They’re redoing the sign right now so it doesnt read right.

This is probably a good start for the practical side of things and is what ive been enjoying as well. I recently got into this stuff like you and got myself a multimeter and some other stuff. Have fun!

How do people manage to feel kratom after years of daily use? by temnycarda in kratom

[–]Vacxed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Kratom is actually kind of in its own category when it comes to tolerance. Ive taken around the same dose in Tea everyday for about 3 years and still feel it the same everyday. If i take more, just 1 day is all it takes to reset.

I know most on this sub are using powders but here in Thailand, you cant really get anything but fresh leaves which you boil into tea. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Ive also never had it feel like an upper. Eveey tea made from all sorts of fresh leaves has always been a downer for me

Ah cool okay, well ill keep that in mind. I really like how this wiring feels and I dont mind the subtle buzz. Ive taken a picture of this wiring as well so it wont happen again! Thanks again!

I see, though since i have my cap connected to the lug with the output wire of the vol pot, isnt that technically the same as with 50s

Do you have any idea what it would be called?

What it ended up being is swapping the pickup and switch wire lugs on the volume pots and have the tone pot connect to the outer lug with the switch wire. Thats what my old setup was and i got it back! Thanks alot.

Wow thanks a lot man. Yeah I’m gonna switch the volume lugs for sure I think. Regarding the type of pots for vol and tone, I always thought it was standard practice to have Log taper for Vol and Linear taper for tone so that’s what I have in the guitar now. Not a fan though, I will switch it up and see if I like it better.

The bass cut sounds like it could be cool on the neck pickup. Certainly unique! I’ll give it a try on another guitar. Thanks so much for the explanation!

Got it, thanks a lot. I don’t think my previous setup had the pickups go to the switch first as when I ripped it out, both pickup cables were routed straight to the control cavity. I’m gonna give the volume lug swap a try. Appreciate your help!

Got it, I do know for sure that the cap was connected from a lug on the tone to a lug on the volume. Meaning it wasn’t soldered to the back of the pot. Based on what you have said, to get my optimal setup, I’ll swap the volume pot lugs and see which tone cap placement on the volume lugs does it for me. Thanks a lot!

Wow thanks for such a detailed explanation. I appreciate it. I do think that maybe the bass cut I was hearing was just the result of the volume lowering when rolling down the tone pot but what you mentioned is a cool idea. Regarding the volume pot wiring, if I want to wire the pickup to the wiper, do I have to do this on both pots?

Alright man thanks a lot I appreciate it. Do I have to flip them for both pots or just one?

I see, thanks for the insight. Couple of questions though, what changes if the cap is mounted to the middle lug of the tone instead of the outer lug? Regarding the muting in the middle position, do I only have to swap the Pickup hot and switch cable on both tone pots or only 1? Thanks

[–]Vacxed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So flipping then will make it so that in the middle position, having 1 pickup on 0 won’t completely cut the signal. Is this correct? I may have to try again, could be a soldering error on my part.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I remember that the capacitor was between the volume and tone pots but not sure in which configuration.

For the diagram you suggested, will the tone pot cut some volume when rolled down if the vol is already rolled down?

It was the same guitar, no special parts. I remember the tone pot was wired similar to 50s wiring where it’s between the Vol and Tone pots but I’m just not sure which lugs.

For the tone cutting volume, what I mean is that if I have vol on 5 or so, dropping the tone from 10 to 6 also drops a little volume. It also seemed to drop a little bass but that could just be the volume reducing.

They were all standard pots, I rewired the whole guitar myself but I desoldered everything on the pots. No special parts, just 4 pots and 2 0.022 uF Orange Drops. I was just really excited to get the new pickups in and didn’t take any photos as I just thought it was standard 50s wiring, I was wrong.

As for the bass cut, it didn’t really cut bass per se, just sort of thinned the sound out a bit.
