tone pot woes
So i'm wiring my full shred in my ibanez (2 hum, 2 vol, tone, 3 way, 2 split) and my tone pot does the reverse of what it should do. On the 'zero' setting i get the treble heavy sound i should get on the 'ten' setting. And i get lots of bass when it is on 'ten'. I've checked all of the wiring numerous times and the only other solution i could think of is a faulty capacitor?

Classic 30 Vibrations (chasis)
I've noticed when I crank my Peavey Classic 30 that there seems to be a lot of vibration coming from the chasis. I really notice it when I kick on my SD pickup booster and play lower notes. I took care of the tube rattle with that tube tamer kit on eBay and have been real happy but I can't take the vibrations on higher volume. The mods section on Blueguitar says that this is common on the Classic 30 and he recommends removing the chassic and adding weatherstipping where it comes in contact with the cabinet, then reinstalling. Seems like it should work but has anybody tried it?

The difference a Nitro finish makes!
So, i just got my new Gibson Les Paul Junior back from my tech yesterday. He set it up properly and did a little work on the nut. I have to say, that I'm amazed at how much more resonant this guitar feels than many other similar set neck mahogany slab guitars I've played. I've played a ton of mahogany set neck guitars, all of which had poly finishes, and compared to this, they all felt dead. This body shakes and rattles and I can feel it in my left hand and against my hip bone when I hit a chord. I'm not sure how many Gibsons are finished with nitro, but this is the first time I've played a quality nitro finished instrument, and I'm really really into it. Is this just a nice piece of wood, or do most nitro finished guitars respond this way?

How does one go about.....
...messuring D.C Resistance?
My dad has the right tool thing to do it, but I don't know how. I want to know what the resistance of the stock pickups on my raptor are.

Happy Holidays to...
Seymour, MJ, Evan and everyone at SD! Thanks for everything you guys do for all of us - from the famous, talented, and professional to the deluded, pathetic, and holed-up-in-the-bedroom rock star. Thanks for helping us get that magical perfect righteous tone in our heads out of a speaker and into our ears. Hope you all have a great time this holiday season. I spend a lot of my vacation time playing guitar - which means I'll be spending it with something that says on it. So you'll be here with me and the family in tone, if not in person

Ok guys, I'd like to see pics of your pedal boards.
I'm getting some pedals soon and have been thinking of placement/case design ideas.
