Changed pots, buzzing worse than before?

Post by raindog13 » Mon Sep 24, 2018 2:52 pm

I switched the 250k pots back to the original 1meg pots and the guitar seems to be buzzing worse than it was before? All I did was switch two wires and the cap, I'm not sure what I could have done wrong. Help!

Check all your grounds, most likely you either got a cold solder joint in the one you did or you broke one that you did not do.
Logic gates based on billiard-ball computer designs have also been made to operate using live soldier crabs of the species Mictyris guinotae in place of the billiard balls.

The cap ground maybe?

Pictures would help.
