Huge compliment. I watched this video with excitement and I have to admit. I don't know of any comparable video that explains things so helpfully. In Germany, this still seems to be a huge problem. Thank you very much. I finally dare to tackle electronics. Greetings from little Germany

A very informative guide. But, we have the trem wired to the screw inside the body. So where does it ground to after that? Because as far as I can see, though the trem is connected to that screw, collectively they're not grounded to anything. 🤔 Did I miss something?

if no shielding wier from claw to where is the scrrw o ground the shield where woukd I connect from.claw ground to thst my didconect the wier is souderd to claw.?

🔥🔥🔥Great video ✊🏾🎵🎵

Sorry - You forgot to include a ground wire to connect to the Stratocaster spring claw. Big mistake bro.

Just as you wire leads to an outlet, going over the top of the screw with your hook, allows the wire to be pulled into the turn of the screw, so it does not back out.

BIG HELP !!! thank youuu

Which bias probe do you use? Does it matter if it measures the plate current or the cathode current?

👍

is there an android alternative for pixela?

I did this from looking at a guitar wiring diagram, I needed a video to explain better because my guitar was buzzing when I don't touch it and buzzes louder when I touch it.... I guess I missed the grounding from the input jack to the volume, I mixed the ground wire for the other one

@roycox4415 Thanks SO much for your video. I have two issues: one is that for the umptheenth time my middle tone pot somehow is a volume and sometimes the volume is constant on. Now this didn’t just happen once but it’s a recurring mistake. I followed the video step by step. Could you please tell me how my tone pot could falsely become a volume pot for neck and middle instead of tone? I have soldered middle tab of tone pot to first tab plastic side of switch and third tab tone pot grounded to top of very pot sharing the leg for the capacitor (that goes to the bridge tone pot; bridge tone works!). I also jumped tab 1-2 on the switch like you say in the video - how could the middle tone pot suddenly be a volume? Pickups work, volume works, bridge tone works but the middle tone pot is now a volume for neck and middle pups… any help is greatly appreciated

Wow. And just like that I went from not knowing a single thing about what goes on inside the electronics of a Strat, to thinking I might be able to wire one up. Very clear and methodical explanation!!! My only question is what is the function of the capacitor. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with us.

The API 312 doesn't use the 150K resistor in the input, CAPI use this resitor . Anyone tried the CAPI VP312 without the 150K resistor?

Thanks for this video. I can’t figure out why the vol pot is constant on. I did what you show in this video and I can’t figure it out. It’s just constant on. It’s just three connections far as I know the tab of the vol pot to the first tab of the switch jumped to last tab metal side of switch but I just can’t figure it out

Very helpful tutorial exactly what I needed for wiring up my input jack on my stratocaster. Thanks very much!

I don't know if you were referring to Rene Martinez (Stevie Ray Vaughan's tech) or not, but it's funny because his first tech was a guy named Cesar Diaz who was both famous and infamous at the same time. He has since passed, but he did some great things such as making and modding amps, making pedals and such, but he was known to do some things that drew a lot of criticism also. Things such as using WD-40 on pots, which most techs consider a no-no, and being pretty outspoken about doing things that are now considered blasphemous.

Will these amps only discharge when plugged in? There must be good continuity with a ground correct?

Super helpful video Roy, many thanks from this newbie! Could you talk briefly about input power conditioning if you do any of that? Thanks!

thanks for a clear explanation on the switch it realy helped

I'm so glad you mentioned API as your favorite pre. I remember being in a B room somewhere in LA with The Box and I was blown away by my sound. I listened to that beat in the car for hours after the session, pre mix and I was amazed at the clarity of a raw mix. I'd heard vintage Neve and SSL 9K also but the API made an impression I'll never forget.

While the effect may be the same for what capacitors do...affect the ratio of high to low tones that get output...your explanation is backwards. "Caps" act as high pass filters. The high frequencies passed do not vary with different value caps. What changes is the low frequency cutoff level...thus, the amount of low & mid range frequencies that are cut off. In other words, the output varies, with different value caps, from a wide mix of frequencies, to mostly high frequencies (smaller value cap). Thus, the higher value cap (as large as close to .1 will cut out the least mid & bass range frequencies...whereas the lowest value cap (say, .001) will allow only the highest frequencies to pass. The most common values used are : .015, .022, .033, .047, .065 but higher are lower values are available. (...values in "micro farads")

The Sonarworks Plugin with the Fixed Curve Profile has always to be running in the background, if i quit Sonarworks i get the normal "untreated" sound again, right? I have the Sonarworks reference with the Mic here, but still kinda figure things out and also building more absorbers, Basstraps etc to get the most out of it. Thanks for the Video, very interesting suggestions! Just filling the Studio Desk Rack holes at the moment and after that i will go with a cranborne 500 ADAT modul, you should check that too, its a great Modul with very new possibilities! :)

I'm surprised you're not tinning your connection points and wires before soldering your connections. Excellent video.

Great video, thank you!

Thanks for this

Hi there! How many volts does that capacitor have? Thanks 😊

For once the input jack wires are long enough. I fail to understand why usually they’re so short you can barely access the underside of the pickguard for working on it. Great video! Thanks

Great video! For studio, the Remo Powerstroke 3 Coated will be great, but an impact patch will extend the durability more. If I’m doing a hard rock and metal band gig, (Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC), the Remo Pinstripe or Evans EMAD Heavyweight will be perfect. If I’m doing a jazz band gig (Nat King Cole), then maybe the Ambassador Coated or Fiberskyn Ambassador. If it’s a punk rock gig (Green Day, The Ramones), the Remo Powerstroke 4 or Evans EMAD 2 will be great for that. If I’m doing a classic rock gig, (Led Zeppelin, Boston, Queen, Pink Floyd), the Emperor Coated will be great. It all depends on my personal preference, the genres of music and the durability I want

How do you connect the XLR input from the microphone to the patch bay?

Really impressed by a simple clear emperor

Great video. Thanks much.

I’m trying this myself now thanks nice video

I just spent an 1.5 hours of my life trying to get this transfer to work on a camera bought four years ago. Canon's website took me to Hell and back and all I got was the opportunity to give up a lot of info so that they could send me stuff:-(

remember the Barn? I think it was in Towson....

I only use 18” bass drums so the thickness is very important … heavy weight, emad2 and hydraulic

Funny - we used to throw charged capacitors at each other when I was in trade school ☝️🧐

You didn’t say a goddamn thing about what interface or anything what kind of gear are you using? You totally skipped that you fucked it up so you’re done

Wrap the ground wire the opposite way under the screw so it snugs in as you tighten…. Electrician pro tip. ❤

Good job brother! Nothing to it👏👏

It's a complex art, so many wiring techniques, a pick up can have 2 to 4 wires...

I never knew you could group d trem claw wire to body always thought it had to go to volume,does anyone know if this can be done for any Fender SSS wiring configuration? Regards Mitchell

Quite a production ! Nice work. I try to use no more than seven mic's to capture the kit, which can be a challenge. I've used the KSM32 as an outer kick mic with very good results.

could u redo this in an even darker closet?

where you at dude? we need more videos
