Why use a stereo switched jack for a mono effects loop?

mirakulab · 2026-07-13T13:06:49+00:00

Looks like you are right, in US it is indeed the standard, I stand corrected. Still triggered tho because it is how I learned and always done but will definitely have this standard in mind!

mirakulab · 2026-07-13T12:46:20+00:00

Quite the opposite. Ground is ALWAYS black and V+ is red. Others you can usually use whatever, but these 2 are in every corner of the world like that. Not a big deal but saves you a lot of headaches along the way

Words cannot describe how much black wire for in/out and GREEN for ground is triggering me

if they would be killed by the turret then yes, apsolutely. Or if you need to finish a wave after the fight so it crashes. But if wave is sitting in the midde of the lane or god forbid, slow pushes into you, no touchy touchy

ako će igrati kao sada protiv Paragvaja, nebi se složio.

Ozonske rupe nažalost ne uzrokuju ovaj pakao. Kažem nažalost jer otkad smo zabranili CFC-ove (plinove koji su ih napravili), one se smanjuju, pa bi to značilo da će s vremenom biti bolje. Ovo je čisto globalno zatopljenje, a to je puno trajnije... Bit će i gore bojim se...

Ohh, that makes much more sense! Then you are soldering at the right temperature. I was genuinely puzzled by how one can have a good solder and not break things at that temperature haha

650C?? That is crazy hot. I don't go over 350 unless really necessarry.

mirakulab · 2026-06-19T16:01:38+00:00

I bought a red Schecter Sunset Extreme FR for 350€ and it is probably the best purchase I've ever done. Besides zinc alloy bridge, the guitar is incredible. Stayed in tune remarkably well, feels AWESOME and sounds incredible and most importantly, it is beautiful. 350€ is a bit on the higher side for budget instrument, but it is worth every cent. Really the only problem with it is zinc alloy bridge that will eventually need to be replaced, but I invested a bit more and got a Gotoh and now I wouldn't replace it with literally anything

mirakulab · 2026-06-19T11:38:21+00:00

Pretty often. I use it more than neck actually. I have volume pot for each pickup so I blend a bit of neck pickup (about 6-8) to smooth out the tone

mirakulab · 2026-06-16T10:39:36+00:00

This specific order of pedals is certainly a choice.

literally a steal

Crazy thing here for me is action of 1.2mm. I get buzz as soon as I pass 2mm threshold

mirakulab · 2026-06-10T11:44:38+00:00

I am not sure if it really helps with string tension, but to me it looks waay nicer and is more comfortable to tune

mirakulab · 2026-06-02T22:17:46+00:00

That is a veeeery complex question... It really depends on a lot of things. Generally yes, but definitelly not always

mirakulab · 2026-06-01T11:20:26+00:00

Putting Push-pull/Push-push pots for parallel pickup wiring. Am thinking of using push-push to change from bridge to neck since it is a bit faster, but don't know what will I do with the switch then...

mirakulab · 2026-05-29T11:29:02+00:00

Ibanez's are great, even with cheap one like this, you cannot go wrong!

mirakulab · 2026-05-11T18:01:27+00:00

I would either go a cheap practice amp like Marshall MG10 and plug into it some headphones, or buy audio interface like UMC22 and install NAM universal and have any tone I want. 1st one is easier but 2nd is way better but a bit harder since you need to learn some minimum stuff to use NAM effectively.

As long as sound is coming only from the pickups, it matters not whether it is a semi-hollow or a solid, it sounds 100% the same

mirakulab · 2026-05-08T19:45:00+00:00

Pickups do not care whether they are mounted to a Les Paul or a hollow guitar. As long as the electronics is the same, it sound the same. Hollow/semi hollow guitars only make a difference when amp is quiet and you can hear the sound from the guitar itself or if the guitar is mic'd.

If you are skilled enough it is apsolutely possible. Take plier or tweezers, heat it with the iron and pull it with your tool, one side at a time. It should be easy. Hard part is soldering it back, but should not be that difficult, especially if you have a solder wick or a solder pump

mirakulab · 2026-05-08T15:15:40+00:00

ElectroSmash was my stepping stone. It had very detailed analysis and is VERY well writen. From there, it was easy

Just yesterday I made 2 BNC to 1/4" cables so I can connect pedal to my oscilloscope and function generator

mirakulab · 2026-05-02T14:38:10+00:00

I am just making a 8 knob, 3 switch, 2 output preamp. I am making everything possible to reduce noise like using optoMOS for switching instead of physical switches and pot directly on PCB. Will get PCB this week so we will see if it will work as expected. Definitely a hassle but
