Quote from: Micpoc on July 07, 2024, 03:50:05 PMYep. It's a great example of why the notion that "Leo got it right the first time" does not really hold water, IMO.The funny thing is, the main reason the metal cover is on a Tele neck pickup is to supposedly reduce noise. I found it's actually more quiet with the cover off! LOL. So it really serves no purpose whatsoever. And that guy Dumble...he seemed to do very well changing Fender designs a bit, even though they were "right" the first time.

Quote from: jessenator on May 12, 2024, 04:15:41 PMNever mind that some of those kids likely play better than me...I wouldn't worry at all about that since you're really there to display pedal building. Have a screwdriver on hand to open your pedals up to show the inner workings. Have some schematics printed off to show what's going on. Maybe you could even bring a pcb and demonstrate soldering a few components in. That will be educational.I'm excited and nervous.
Quote from: Funkasaurus on May 07, 2024, 03:28:20 PMI was just browsing at LMS and saw that they carry clear stomp switch washersThe problem isn't finding clear washers. With a clear regular washer it would be very difficult to get a consistent light transfer without the switch or jack being perfectly centered in the hole, which is just about impossible to do as you tighten it down. A clear isolation/insulation washer is what is needed to keep things centered and keep a consistent gap around the circumference for the light to bleed through.
