I've been attempting to build a ruby amp, but has passes the point of being worth it, so I was thinking about getting and Artec SDA-T amp board from CB gitty to use instead. I was wondering what you guys though about it, and if there's any way to ta
Read more…If I pointed my amp's speaker down so it's facing the carpet, and i then played some loud riffs on it, would that damage the speaker? I'm curious about what it would sound like.

Read more…Okay I have two single coil pickups, with individual volumes, and no switch too choose between them. I turn one around and reverse it's leads. And they're both going to the same jack. Would this work, and would it be constantly humbucking?
Read more…Pretty self explanetory, my ruby amp starts motorboating when I turn up the volume. The setup is crammed inside a small speaker cabinet, and the pc board is fully soldered but the rest of the connections (volume pot...) are all with alligator clips

Read more…Is it possible to make a humbucker that only has one or two pole pieces? I'm making an electric foot drum like Ted Crocker's Terraplane Floorboard and the pickups I have installed the prototype are buzzing a lot and I don't really want to use a full
