i have only used the copper tape, would be sweet to try copper spray paint

wouldn't parallel give more percieved output than series? so series would be fine for two humbuckers yeh?

Is it common for two humbuckers to be out of phase when wired in series?

couple years back i had a pretty heavy sound in a washburn V dualHB

a dimarzio super D in the bridge and a emg 81 passive in the neck

i r love the super D

the emg was nice for a passive neck position crisp i would call it

i thought u meant shielding, as in adding copper paint or tape to line the inside

otherwise you mean the type of wire your using is shielded?

yeh some of those sites are confusing, and tend to be not so user friendly

so you have to be totatly clear on what you want before you search otherwise the variety will kill you

wow this is a great idea

question

there is pF and there us uF

1 pF to 1000s of uF, so does that mean that a 0.022uF is the same as a 22pF?

bah if i only had seen this a week ago

8(

heh

why are you assuming that i didnt search and didnt read

all im doing is lookin for clarification

more often than not the responses in over 3/4 of the diodes posts consist of "search you peon" instead of actual usefull information

now i know it gets annoyin for you mods and i appologise

for me it gets annoying to seach a forum for info when your results are replies sayin "search the forum"

so yeh heh

im a nub my bad

true but the more info one has the better off they are in deciding

when i look up schottky diodes i see thousands of part numbers so it helps to give referance to a part number instead of a brand name

and when you normaly look up diodes you see all kinds things that throw you off if your not a electronics geek and know what to look for

silicone, recrifier, switching, zener, singal, dual, ect

all that is greek to someone who doesn't know from experience

is there a happy medium for how the string height be set?

buzz

no buzz

a little buzz

with a arch

straight across so taht all strings are even

awsome

so would a distortion pedal also have low voltage diodes?

i did a mod to my ibanez ms-10 which was basicaly taking 2 sets of diodes out

i have those diodes lying around and am wondering if they would work

one set equals two diodes, so a total of 4 diodes

does a LED work in place of a diode for this appliation and if so what kind?

and since therea re quite a few ratings to look at what makes the BAT41 the right choice?

in regards to your black ice tut

can you go into more of a descripton of what types of diodes are suitable, what their ratings should be, what to look for

maybe even go into how the ovderdrive sound is created by a diode

"low voltage schottky diodes" doesn't help me much in understanding how this tut is supposed to work

for example what is the difference between a diode you see on a distorion pedal and the ones you mentioned

what type of diodes can one get at their local electronics store that compare to a passive overdrive?

what does one look for in picking out a part for a passive overdrive?

i have a switch setup for my bass

two emg passive jazz with a emg active preamp

i had it set up so that i can switch to passive if the battery dies, which works

but it does not reduce the ammount of drain on the battery itself, so i still go through batteries lots

so adding a switch to go from passive to active is kind of a waste, didn't really help except that it gave me a signal when the battery died and let me play in a passive mode through bypassing the battery and preamp

both passive and active sound good

though its seems that the more junk you stick between the pickup and output ofthe guitar the more you increas chances of phasing, huming, and all around crappy noise

was a novel idea but for me it wasnt worth it

i would like to try this out, but im still confused as to where i can get the diodes mentioned above

so i went to radioshack to take a look

http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp...iodes&kw=diodes

can someone point out to me which is a low voltage diode that would be comparable to passive overdirve

im not sure what to look for in diodes and why im looking for that particular type

im using two dimarzio superD's in a dual humbucker gtr, with a 3 way switch, pretty standard cfg

pelase please help me understad what to look for in diodes so i can make a clear choice

Further to my post above, I just blew 90 cents on two Schottky diodes, to try that test again, with my three fairly hot single coil pups in series.

This is much better!  (than I expected) - some  credible smooth distortion, and possible to play on solos. It takes a strong touch - its not subtle.  But I even got some good sounds out of bridge and middle series out of phase.  I might find a way to wire them in.  With two back to back across the output, you lose some volume (so turn it up), since the whole point is that it clips.  Another option is to use just one diode - keeps the volume, with a different sound.

Worth a try

what are the ratings on those Schottky diodes? where did you get them? got pics?

i enjoy some of the pedals out there

like the classic ibanez TS or the MS-10 with the korean chips and diode mod

my next target is a ibanez ad-9 analog delay

so yeh im a sucker for pedals
