How many days should I leave the product in safe humidity if I live in a humid climate? How do I know when I can play my instrument, if I put the product in, but I have to play a gig, do I take it out and then reinstall it after playing?

I just got one. I'd still have my Guinnini if I'd used one of these.

Thank you sir!

After talking to the guy who sets my guitars up, humidipak's are ok but... they are only efficient at 10% either side of around 45/ 50% humidity, past that they cant cope.I live in an old cottage , no double glazing, no damp course,used humidipak all winter,guitar (Martin) went in for a setup, shop rang me to say 'inside of guitar had a humidity of 78%'Thankfully no damage down, but be aware.

I bought this kit 2 years ago and just now got to building it. I'm at the point of putting the board into the chassis. Hopefully it'll continue to go smoothly.

i live in phoenix and keep my guitar in a room with a room humidifier at 40% and 78f

Could you not just use only the one under the headstock?

What position do you store the guitar using this kit? Horizontal, flat, vertical?

My sound hole is too small to fit this comfortably

Do you need to store the guitar case laying down?

pretty sure the handle is not leather ...

Is the black stubby screw driver ratcheting also?

exactly what I needed, thank you!

I just finished this kit. All of my values are within spec and I tested every cap before I installed them. Everything seems right, but no sound. I have no idea where to go from here.

Polyurethane pick n pluck is garbage.

I just put the packs into water and wait until they are refilled again. I use normal water, is distilled water recommended for this endevour?

Hi, Why still do’t we have automaticly humidifire device ;( when dry will be activite humidify when wet stoping humidifying. Is there any divice like that?

Thanks for the video. Btw, i really like the background music - what is it?

Won't a room humidifier/dehumidifier be a better option..?

I went with the 1450 pelican, it's for the 87v max a larger meter

The maker of the packs, Boveda, makes a very simple and inexpensive calibration kit. Even though you can't calibrate the Bluetooth D'Addario hydrometer, you can find out how far off it is. Using the packs sold by D'Addario I could never get mine above 40%. Switched to the Boveda 49% RH size 70 last night and I am now up to 45%. Also should note that the packs by Boveda are less expensive.

Excellent, can it be used with the guitar vertically? hanged on the wall?

Would these work in a Taylor gig bag? (The matte drab green zip up bags? They’re padded and I’m sure the zip up makes it somewhat air tight.

Awesome thanks

I was wondering what guitar you had because my case looked very similar and then when you opened the case it was the same as mine LOL. Love my Martin!

Great video, thank you

Some folks on amazon have had problems with them leaking. Has anyone had that problem?

Hello! Just wanna ask if per pack of the humidipak, how long it can be use? Thank you in advance.

Yeah it's a mojotone kit marked up $100 by stew mac. got mine on reverb for $150 below stew mac price. Had all the same instructions, schematics, and assembly pics.

Can it be used in a gig bag?

Is that Jan Hammer background music?

So there's no chance of over humidifying the guitar is what I understand

Yeah nice to have a variac but tge dim bulb tester is cheap and simple. Put that on the to do list and the variac ?? Letter to santa!

Did you use resin flux on the fibre board?? Great practice for getting solid joints. Little alcohol and toothbrush clean up but worth it!

Hey dude you should check out D-labs electronics it’s a great channel

If you have 20+ guitars like I do it is expensive but still worth it... LOL

Is this recommended no matter where you live? California here.

Here's a little trick I've learned after using these for years to keep my cigars humidified. When you feel them starting to dry out put them in an airtight tupperware container with a bowl of distilled water in the middle. They will absorb the moisture in a couple weeks and be good as new. If you buy six you can keep rotating and never have to buy them again.

Did the BOM (bill of materials) that you showed in the opening video actually list the quantity of the green wire used for filament and ground wiring? And if it had listed the quantity, did you verify that was was the quantity received? I am just trying to determine if it was a quality control error in filling the kit or an actual error in the BOM quantities. Thanks!

Just a quick note. The switch and fuse should be run in series on the hot (black) lead of your power transformer. (The veracity of the original schematics from Leo have been updated in the intervening 70 years. You can refer to tedweber.com/5f1-c-kt/ as an example of the modern wiring method. Uncle Doug will correct this on every vintage amp he gets that is wired in the "original" configuration.)

I got a gibson sj 200 standard. 30 bucks a year makes me sleep at night. I recomend it to those w a similiar fine instrument. Ive been using these packs since ive owned the guitar 3 years ago. No issues and no tissues.

Hi, would you be able to use the packs without the pouches? I bought the packs separately and didn't realise they came with pouches just wondering if they are really necessary

I could never lay stuff on top of my guitar like you putting that box on yours.

Man, that output transformer looks REALLY tiny! I guess I just don't have a realistic memory of a 5W output transformer because I ordered my Boothill 5f1 kit with a 15W output transformer; MUCH beefier!

Nice D-15 man!

What pre amp circuit did you model this amp from ? Champ / Deluxe / Bassman ?

thank u for video. id like to build one of these. is it something a beginner could do ? im a guitarist. that has done pick up changes and little things but never a amp. what do u think?

Once you get the packets do they start working the day you get them or do you have to do something to activate the packets whenever you want it to start working

Would the packets still be effective with my guitar in a soft case/gig bag? Just for reference, I’m in Canada with the four seasons! 🥶

Speaker is a model C8R...painted on basket same as most all Jenson Speakers
