i had a similar problem with my tele deluxe. sometimes the tone would work, sometimes it wouldn't! seemed to depend on how i held the guitar. finally figured out what the problem was, but it really sucked since you have to take the neck off of a 22 fret tele deluxe to get the pickguard off... anyway i ended up just putting a piece of electrical tape over the whole capacitor so it literally couldn't make contact with anything no matter how awkwardly it was sitting. if it happens again i'd just tape it off. hasn't been a problem since!

sorry, I had to, it was to much of a temptationAGWAN said:
His clean tone, wow, I do not know, when I really want clean, I start with playing through a bass amp. then analyze what effects are being used, like chorus reverb, delay or such. Never tried to match Gilmore's clean tone as Never played his stuff on stage. Actually, I do not try to match to many tones anymore, I have about 4 tones I use, it is hard enough just with those. I know of circuit players who try to match each song, what a pain. But then onstage it is all about just banging the song out, at home is luxury as you can afford to tweak stuff, no drunks want the next dance tune.

On one side it shouldn't matter because one end of the thing is going to ground, which the back of the pot should be. When I install them myself, I usually run a piece of stripped insulation over the ungrounded end to prevent incidental contact.
Dude... I'm a pretty crap guitarist... thus why this is a stupid Question...
I just, realized that of all the clean guitar tones I've ever heard... he's the only player I know of that can fascinate me with what seems to be a single clean note.
the basics of his set ups. hardware... that give the roots of that sound... is what makes me curious!
I don't really know what Simmer and Plate Reverb are... I'm JUST getting into this.

great then your head is open for much knowledge to be poured in, ok reverb comes in about 3 forms, spring, you know how that sounds, natural, or the effect of a large room, and Plate or stdio, they used a huge plate instead of springs, it is a hauntingly simmer effect. I suggest you go and find some sound bytes of reverbs and listen to them, and see if that is part of the sound. I really am trying to help. the more you train that ear, the better off you will be.and the longer you will stay with it.AGWAN said:

I have a plate reverb simulator in m Vox, I love plate. use it over the Fender 15 I have all the time, but then I am, after this build, bout to build my first amp, I am going to build a Allen Amp Chihuahua but with a twist, I am going make mine stereo and if the Idea works, I am going to step it up and do the first Vox 30 watt top boost in stereo ending up with a 60 watt head with the AC30tb sound, going into 2 Vox stereo 4/12 cabinets. At that point I will make my own plate reverb unit to sit behind my amp and use the effects loop to run it.
