    I came for the signal tracer probe, stayed for the music. Very fine blues selection there, man. The probe's good too, thanks!

    This may sound stupid, but the little flimsy stand that comes with the soldering iron. I never thought of propping the iron on that to use for tinning wires. 🤯 That's so much faster than wrestling them into place in the helping hands. Good video!

      Thanks Anthony! I have fairly shaky hands so I find having the iron stationary helps a lot. I appreciate your feedback!

      It’s the simple things that make the journey so much easier! I’ve used this tool quite a few times and it’s saved a lot of time and money. Definitely worth the time to build it!

    I have a muliti process guitar pedal that went bad after plugging in to a patch with the gain turned up at the sound board. Maybe I could find the problem with this, it powers on but no sound comes out.

      I think you could definately trace it to the source with this for sure. Try and find a schematic online and then trace from the input and go down the line. You could also check the power section to make sure it is supplying the proper voltages to the preamp stages with a multimeter.

    Cool. What's the recommended cap value?

    • @AlYoung
      @AlYoung  Рік тому

      For this probe I used a 0.1uf/600v (104) orange drop capacitor. It has worked well for for all my signal tracing needs.

      The capacitor…is it polarized?

      ​@@Joejoe-nt3gcthis cap is not polarized. It can be soldered in either direction.
