Ian, that video of Hitler, and his generals was great---I loved it.

Jack, the pedal board in the picture is not my pedal board. There are professional pedal board builders that build pedal boards for people. Some of the most famous pedal board builders use Hilton pe ...

Jack, you know some of the young players want their guitar to sound like a "Buzz Saw" hitting a rusty nail. How are you going to get that special "Buzz Saw" sound, without some kin ...

Interesting picture. In the picture I see John and Hal both using Hilton pedals. I didn't give either of those guys pedals. When John first approached me about using my pedals, he told me this: &quo ...

Jack, don't be a stick in the mud. You could have pedals on your pedal board that would shine your shoes, and brush your teeth. LOL.

Some of the most technical advanced pedal board builders use Hilton volume pedals in their build. Here is a recent picture if a build one of the pedal board builders sent me. The pedal board build lo ...

I am using the black Fender Twin Tone Master. I like it.

Scotty invited me to play his convention two different times. Playing those shows were nerve racking. After playing those shows I felt like a cow after milking. Scotty was a special person who was ab ...

Thanks Charlie. Last year's show was great.

Tommy, it is good to hear from you, your wife and Joy text each other often. I am really happy to hear you got a steady weekly gig. I am certain playing on the pedal steel helps keep your mind functi ...

The picture doesn't show it but we had a large crowd, and a lot of dancers. Yes, we got paid, it is a good paying gig. The area where I live is blessed with several country music bands. New country ...

Great question Donny. Donny your question relates to a question that has always been in my mind. How can two magnetic pickups wound in opposite direction, and having opposite polarity eliminate commo ...

I went on Sweetwater and looked at the reviews of the largest selling hum, noise eliminator, mentioned in the above post. 56% of the reviews gave it a 5 star. 15% gave it a one star or less. 28% were ...

I recently had a ground loop noise while practicing my steel guitar. I pulled out a circuit I built a couple of years ago, plugged it in and everything was dead quiet. I thought how this could help a ...

Yes, Jeff, unbalanced cable guitar connection, I agree. I have seen guys using battery powered effect pedals, and a battery powered amplifier. Nothing connected to a earth ground. First off, is your ...

Jeff, yes I agree, having a common ground is a great first step.

"What about a battery? dc plus and minus but no earth, and a 2pin ac to dc pedalboard power supply is just plus and minus no r ...

Jeff, insuring a common ground does not always guarantee elimination of ground loop noise. All DC power has a ground of some type or it would not work. Grounds are sometimes difficult to determine, be ...

Roger, I will try to answer that question. First, let me say all noise, even white noise has a source. It comes from somewhere. You could unplug the guitar cord, then the source would be the amplifie ...

Back in 2022, and early 2023, I built 6 different circuits designed to eliminate hum and noise relating to guitars and amplifiers. Even thought I had solved the age old issue of noise in single coil p ...

One of my favorite recordings. Jimmy Day was one of my favorite players.

Jack, thank you for the review. If you will remember Jack, I ask you what type of reverb you thought this was most like. You said like the spring reverb in an older amplifier. Like reverb in an amplif ...

Thanks for the question John. I am not to the point of figuring the cost of adding the reverb. I am just doing some Proto-Types now, to eliminate any bugs down the road. Jack Wilson's pedal with rever ...

I am finishing up building Jack Wilson a pedal with reverb. Jack wants it because one of his amplifiers is an old Fender amp that only has reverb on one channel. He has been using a reverb pedal on t ...

It seems to me common mode rejection is much better in a monolithic instrumentation amplifiers than it is in difference amps, or single op-amps. The amount of noise boils down in some cases to only am ...
