No problems. We're all just pieces of debris spinning in the same tornado! I hope it's good info.

If you build something before I do, let me know how it worked out for you.

Hi Smitty, this morning I added the ground isolation circuit to the surge/spike protection/filter unit that I had previously built to Don's spec. Here's a phone pic ofWP_20170315_002.jpg
The diodes & resistor are on the power out side of the unit & can be seen on the left. I'll let you know how it goes after I try it out at volume at practise later in the week. Cheers
 
Well Smitty the ground isolator is worthwhile. Out of the 2 amps I use, both 50 watt tube amps, the higher gain one has always had a slight hum, even with the filter I had made. Follows the same grounding scheme as the other amp & has elevated heaters so I had thought it was due to power transformer/output transformer coupling. Admittedly it was pretty low level but it was there. With the ground isolator installed into the filter the amps is now as quiet as the other. All the benefits of a ground lift with none of the dangers. Cheers
 
Yes, 2 x 6A10/P600M 1000V/6A diodes & a 1k/1w resistor paralleling the diodes, on the power out side (to amps) of the filter/surge protector. Thanks again. Cheers

I initially rolled my eyes at this.. then I started working with my 1987 Squire Stratocaster again with the DiMarzio Virtual Vintage SoloHS3/YJM Stacked Single Coils.

After my tone modifications, I was able to drive the amp so hard and cleanly it was percussive.

I was surprised.

Robert, this was my impression of your Strat thru the Marshall in the gain clips you posted. It held it's own with the Schecter and SG

When I bake a cake, every ingredient is precisely measured. I worked with explosives in the military. It's just natural for me to be supre precise...

HAHA Robert, From cutting trim with mitre saws my eye makes pretty precise cuts too. There are times I was getting so good I almost didn't need to measure to get a proper length board cut.

As for cooking, I definitely am a wing it kind of guy unless I am making pancakes, or Chocolate chip cookies or toasting marshmallows. These all call for perfection. My mallows are always perfectly golden brown all the way around and pefectly gooey inside.

When I cook, I usually just throw ingredients at whatever I'm doing until it "speaks" to me!

My job requires precision, too (though with numbers).

I find it therapeutic to be a little carefree with things, from time to time... as long as there is no risk of hurting anybody!

Right on bro! My grand father who passed when my mom was still a kid worked with explosives. He was into copper mining. He did not pass away because of the job.
