No O-rings needed for tube dampener
Posted by aron on 10 May 2017 | Tagged as: Amp/Tubes, Guitar Related
Over the years I have used O rings to dampen microphonic tubes. But I read online about using silicon “glue” to do the same. So I found this RTV Silicon Gasket maker and it will withstand temperatures to 650 degrees which should be fine! You can apply it in any thickness you want and it works great!

Nice new auto-ranging meter for under $35!
Posted by aron on 23 Jul 2015 | Tagged as: Effects, Guitar Related
My old trusty Radio Shack multimeter broke recently. I’ve had it for about 15 years and it has been a workhorse! I loved using it to build my stompboxes and debug my amps. The resistance function broke recently and it was time to find another. I have a number of meters but I wanted another one that was like my old Radio Shack meter. It had True RMS and other functions and it was accurate.
Well, I searched on Ebay and locally and I found a newer model with auto-ranging and true RMS and even a computer interface. I just received the meter and it ROCKS! It seems much better made and almost everything from the display to the information shown to the probes and the extra fuses make this a great deal for under $35! I have a hard time imagining a better meter at this price. I think you will probably like it as well for building stompboxes!

Bill Lawrence Pickups

Most of my guitars are equipped with Bill Lawrence pickups. Whether it’s the L90 or L280s or the new L200 or L298, I love the clarity and the output of the Bill Lawrence pickups!
