Shadow Nanoflex Piezoelectric acoustic guitar pickup hum reduction.
Many Piezoelectric pickup systems tend to be noisy due to their very high impedance. Low frequency hum from the mains can be annoying but this cheap solution is easy to install, and easy to reverse if you want to revert to factory spec.

    Oil Filter 13 Ft Lbs. use thin layer of oil on rubber gasket of filter. Drain Bolt 21 Ft Lbs. use new crush washer. Recheck oil level after starting as oil filter is empty. Never check oil on pit or center stand. (Note: Oil filter hand or just beyond hand tight and drain bolt snugged up works just fine) BTW-excellent video!!

    Hey man, I have the same fender 212r and Squier duo that you had in the vid! But I think something is wrong with it. Whenever I plug in a distortion pedal and crank the distortion past twelve o'clock the more drive yellow light kicks on and it sounds like I dropped by guitar on the floor and starting stomping on it. This sound continues for a good 5-10 seconds then stops. Except I didn't play anything or drop my guitar and stomp on it lol. My conclusion is a bad cable because it doesn't happen when I play with my new cable. But I don't know for sure and I'm not an expert. Anyways great video and hope you can help me man!

    • @DerekHerbst747
      @DerekHerbst747 16 днів тому

      That's a weird behaviour. Probably you're right about the cable but I'd check the soldering of the big resistors as described in the video. It's still the most likely cause of your noise, possibly in the early stages. Good luck 🤞

The electrodes on even the new spark plugs looked very thin. 🤷🏼‍♂️. Anyway, better safe than sorry.

    This is a most excellent presentation. I've sent the link to a number of fellow ham radio operators.

I prefer the VTVM to an oscilloscope for this purpose.

I have taken another look at the video, which is an unedited, "warts and all" video, and have been contemplating making a cleaner version, (maybe a series of videos) to better explain the function and design. I will probably do that using a FET VOM, which is very similar.

  • @spondulix99

    Can you comment on the input resistance and/or impedance vs. input frequency of the meter at the various scales of the ohms and voltage, both ac and dc, functions? Thanks.

    • @DerekHerbst747
      @DerekHerbst747 5 місяців тому

      The meter has a constant 1.4 Megaohm input impedance for AC and 11 Megaohm for DC. The AC voltage accuracy (5% FSD) is not as good as the DC (3% FSD) because the wire wound resistors in the Range selection circuit have an inductive element, which skews the AC measurement with varying frequencies. The stated frequency range for 3% accuracy is 30Hz - 500kHz. Some manufacturers include parallel capacitors in the range select circuit resistors to offset this phenomenon.
