How do I use Ferrite beads?

I'm building a Chunk Chunk and since it is High gain, I was thinking of adopting the Ferrite beads methode on audio input. I've took a look on Google and the pictures I see are of wires wrapped in turns arround the beads, and on other places I saw that people were suggesting of just sliding the beads through the wire.
How should it be done?

Being lazy, I didn't bother with even shielded wire. This was on the old board, that involved running wires all over creation to the pots.

No noise problems. That said, YMMV.

I've built a few Dr Boogeys, most with the old Chunk Chunk PCB. No shielded wire necessary. I've tried it on two and it didn't make any noticeable difference.

I ended up boxing the build and made a tiddy layout with realy short leads to the pots and it apperas that overall noise it's small. so, no more worries about ferrite beads.
