Neutrino

[jcuempire]

Here is my new neutrino.  It sounds great.  It's a little hummy (especially with single coils) but it's cool.  The white knob was not intentional.  The 3rd black one I got from Mammoth had a stripped set screw so I grabbed the only one I had laying around.  Thanks again to Brian for the great board and all the forum members for answering the endless questions.


and the insides:

Wow, really cool looking.

Great job Keith! Looks great! I know that single coils will hum anyways, but you might wanna try tying up both input and output sleeves so that the output is grounded as well.

I know the output is being grounded with the enclosure already, but it doesn't hurt to tie it up to the common ground, thus eliminating ground loops

This may or not reduce your hum, but heck, it's just a wire, it's worth a shot right?

Great job. Decal looks good and very clean insides!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.  I made a conscious effort to clean up the wiring this time without going too crazy.

Yes, I did it and I think it might have helped.  I used the LP with P90's on it just now it's only evident when you aren't playing.  With the distortion at 11 o'clock, it's got a right nasty snarl to it.  I like it alot.  Thanks as always for the tip.

I remember your first build like if it was yesterday, and man, congrats!
You build like a pro

Thanks, Julien, I appreciate that.  It's a killer hobby and it's made so much better by having a great community around to help and encourage you. 

I have some more projects queued up so I 'spose I should get working

"Is This It" by The Strokes for the graphics? not a bad album.

Is it on a Strokes record?  I found it on a science site.  It's the tracks of an early neutrino experimental collision.  I just thought it looked cool.

That's what I thought when I first saw it lol

Excellent job though! I like the white knob, in fact I'd probably make all 3 white lol

Of course, this is the real cover to 'Is This It'

described as "either a stylish or graphically strong cover or a sexist Smell the Glove travesty."

Great pedal!  Love the graphics!

Fantastic look, inside and out. I especially like the names you gave the controls.
One question: I really like the ribbon cable you used and haven't been able to find any like that. Have a link where I can find it?

Thanks.  The cable is solid core from regular old Radio Shack.  It comes as 4 and I strip off the white (which you can see being used elsewhere)  Other than giving it the festive Christmas look, it keeps things organized for me and forces neatness where I am not otherwise likely to have any.

The names are the properties of neutrinos.  A quick google search took care of that.
