resistor

Hello! I'm about to mod the wiring harness of a Jazz Bass by the help and professional work of a luthier and guitar tech. The guitar's body is MIM '97, however the pickups were switched by the previous owner to MIJ passive single coil pickups, but I don't know more about them. I assume they...

Hi all, I'm looking for some help and advice! I have a desire for a big muff type fuzz, where the low end is let through clean and fat and the top end of my signal ONLY is effected by the fuzz. I play a stingray which has lots of deep low end that either gets cut or becomes woofy with fuzzes...

If I put a 250k resistor in front of a 500k volume pot, would that be equivalent to having a 250k pot or would it sound or act different?

I have a pedalboard and all my MXR pedals make a pop sound when I turn them OFF.when I turn them ON there is no pop sound. I have read posts about putting 1M resistors on true bypass pedals input and output to ground to solve the the pop sound....but unfortunately I have not found any...

Hi, I'm building a Hiwatt DR405-Clone based on Tube Town-transformers (copies of the original trannies from Italy). If you look at the schematic of the DR405 output section (6x KT88), the value of the screen resistors are 2,2k and 1k 5W. In the layout from the Huss page they are 22k and 1k 5W...

I made a varitone for my bass but I didn't pick my cap values well and it's too dark to fast. I want to add a resistor to emulate the tone being rolled off about 75%. What value resistor should I try? Where does the resistor go? I'm assuming either Signal-> Tone -> Resistor -> Ground Or Signal...

Hi All, I have a PJ Bass with EMG pups. The P pickup is much hotter than the J. I am thinking of adding a resistor in series with the P pickup to bring the volume down to better match the bridge pickups output. Is there any disadvantage to doing this? Has anyone done this before? If so what...

Hello. So, I'm planning to build a passive stingray, with a G&L style "OMG" mode switch and a Tonestyler, to get the clearest and liveliest tones out of it without active circuitry. I remember I've read that most of the signature "color" the preamp gives comes from a specific resistor Leo...

hello, I have an Ibanez SR500PB with an after market active/passive switch. It pops when I switch between the two. I read the forums and have realize I need a “resistor” Can someone point me in the direction of what to add? I believe I can get a pot that will take care of it? This bass uses a...
