zenabipxr5

thanks! i dont know why but i registered with the name pxr5, my previous attempt was zenabi but it was taken, but when i log in i have to type pxr5, but when im logged in im called zenabipxr5?? lol anyway thanks for the advice. something has come up at home that means im gonna have to put this on hold for a couple of weeks but i will be back, im fascinated with all this. thanks again for the tips, ive already been to the threads you speak of and read tons of stuff the day i joined here, theres so much help its great, i look forward to getting back here. cheers!

thats excellent Col thanks for all that. the circuit board sounds like a challenge. ive never used a multimeter but i've done soldering. im gonna read you again cos its a lot to take in, my first day and ive learned so much already, it all seems quite complex for what it is at first glance. i just think the price of these things is silly esp here in rip off britain. thanks again bro, see you around

hi everyone. im totally new to this site, like others ive found it after a search for this DIY sustainer idea but looking around here im getting really hooked on guitar electronics and such. my problem is i know a little about electronics but i know nothing about the many terms used like "pot" and "lm386" etc. i wondered if someone could link me or explain a little to someone a bit thick like myself the basics of all this. for example what do i need to buy and where from, the wireing diagrams look nice and simple but putting that together with no easy to understand instructions is a bit scary to me lol. i just want to know if im wasting my time trying this thats all. ive always prefered building to buying for the fascinating and educational side of its id really appreciate some of your knowledge. im assuming all i need to do is buy a soldering iron, buy a few gadgets from maplins and the rest is just putting it together... thanks for any help guys. edit: ive just been looking around here and all i can say is im scared lol, theres so much to learn, as if the driver wasn't complex enough to make theres the circuit board and the amplifier, its so boggling.
