    Dayum! 50 minutes. On your knees. Incredibly low light. Soldering? Stripping short wires? That whole situation is more terrifying and claustrophobic to watch than a spelunker's GoGpro. Super nice job!

      Jim Hegarty It’s been pretty reliable since we made it back in 2012, obviously a few changes to keep it running had occurred since the last time I had seen it, but overall, from what John had reported, it’s been pretty rock solid.

    Can of compressed air per Silas. Good call.
    I've even gone as far as resoldering everything that can be soldered from the guitar to the amp input. That makes a huge difference if you care to put in the time.

    • @VertexEffectsInc
      @VertexEffectsInc  5 лет назад

      Randy Fricke It can be good, but not a cure-all, if I had to choose between one another I would choose the tone brush before compressed air if the goal is cleaning pedal exteriors and the pedalboard platform.

    , that stop working. Great video!

    • @VertexEffectsInc
      @VertexEffectsInc  5 лет назад +3

      It’s a good practice if the pedal is regularly powered by power supply. Again some pedals are already protected from this with containers for the battery to live in isolation from the PCB, but even if you did tape a pedal with this feature you don’t risk anything.

      @mikefenton5634 5 лет назад +2

      Taping the battery clips? It's recommended if you use a 9v power supply instead of batteries to wrap the clip in electrical tape so it is isolated so the contacts for the battery clip cannot touch anything inside the pedal and cause a short. Which would cut signal from the pedal.

Also I believe the ES-8 has an anti-pop setting you could mess around with. As for the simpler true bypass loop, you could add a 1M pull down resistor from the input to ground, and make sure the input is grounded in bypass.

      Matt Mueller I mentioned it briefly in the video, but in some cases people experience a short, if the battery terminals make contact with the PC board. On some devices, the battery clip is contained, so there’s no risk, but on others where the battery clip is free floating, it’s a super easy way to eliminate the risk of a short.

    Doing this right before a show? Lol I wouldn't do that.

      Luckily it all came together in the end.

      Of course it's not an ideal situation, but better to fix it before a show than after, don't you think?

    Another rig pro-tip, everything sounds better if you just put your logo over it and pass it off as something more expensive

      Hi Jake! It reads like you’re referencing what happened with the Axis Wah in 2014. I’m not sure if you’re using this as an avenue to dialogue or you just want to speak out on the subject. I’ve been pretty candid about my responsibility and what transpired with the Axis Wah. You may or may not know, but I did what I said I would - restoring the damaging I’d done with every customer by making direct restitution and amends with every customer that ever purchased the product by providing refunds, exchanges, and/or rebates based on what each customer requested to make them whole again. I still keep a section of my website dedicated to providing the same restitution options to those that were not previously aware of what had transpired with the Axis Wah. I can’t change what happened, however, I did everything in my power restore things with customers to the best that they could be on the customer’s terms. It took about a year to get everyone taken care of, but following that, I chose to move forward continuing to make high-quality products that are sold and marketed with integrity and let the market decide if there is a place for us. Since 2014, we’ve been fortune that we continue to grow and sell more pedals every year. I attribute this to, as bad as the circumstances were regarding the Axis Wah, that we did exactly what we told customers we would do - and most of these customers continued to buy pedals from us as a result after the fact. In any case, you may know all this stuff already, perhaps what I did is insurmountable for you - I accept that. Nevertheless, my hope is that this offers some context and background for your words. XOXO ~Rig Doc

      Todd, The purpose of the video is to provide resources for DIYers and provide information to get guitarists the skill sets they need to get better tone and “learn to fish” so to speak. The information is there for you to take or leave. I think everyone, including you, would benefit from taking this advice. Of course, it’s certainly within your power to do exactly the opposite of what I recommend if you feel that me or the content lacks seriousness.
