      I believe that loop on the multi-tool is for a keyring so you can put it on a set of keys or carabiner. I may be wrong and if I am feel free to correct me, but that's what I've always thought they were for lol.

    Best wireless guitar story: my local family owned guitar shop back in my old neighborhood, the owner’s son and guitar tech Mike was trying to sell a wireless system to someone. The guy asked “but, really, how far can I go?” Mike grabbed a red strat, plugged in, started playing and walked outside… and kept walking as we all watched him walk almost 3 blocks away, perfect sound, no drops, no interference. Mike made that sale.

      The Drop is pretty great. Only annoying part is that you need your amp loud enough that you can't hear the sound of the unamplified guitar, or it sounds absolutely awful. In a band setting it's fantastic though.

    Oh..as an electronics repair engineer i feel the need to point out way better and more long lasting way to apply 'deoxit'.. Trying to get it properly in through the axle is not good.. on some pots it may go in to resistive track a bit, but you have way better chance having the pot working if take out the plate and try to get the stuff in where the wire lugs go in..or some pots have a punched hole for internal rotation limiter where you can get the stuff in.. and you should flush the pot with 'dry' agent (like an isopropanol, ethanol, ipa spray.. i'm not familiar with 'deoxit' brand..that sounds like the stuff to me but may well be greasy which is not optimal at this stage..)..maybe couple of times.. stuff in..yank the pot with full rotation multiple times.. add cleaner.. twist the knob..and so on.. Finally we need a very small amount of greasy stuff in.. i can recommend wd40, but only very slight puff..and then last twisting..!
    First chemical will clean the resistive track inside, and the last puff with 2nd greasy chemical will protect it from getting reoxidiced..
    Oh..and some pots have special lubrication in axle..applyin cleanet thru it may flush the lubricant away and into the wrong place!
    Also last puff must be concervative..we don't want it so much that it'll start collecting gunk.. With these tips you may get *very* bad pots working like charm that you already thought were needing a replacement.. of cource if there is mechanical failure inside, eg loosened connecting rivet, etc. there is nothing you can do other than replacing the pot..
    Happy Christmas time!!

    @Fast2Whls 6 місяців тому +1

    Awesome! I've already forwarded to my wife. Only thing I'd say about the Rok-Loks is that depending on the shape of your guitar, the finish, etc, the plastic will eventually leave marks on the finish. If you have "that pristine guitar that doesn't have a scratch on it", these or clip-lock straps will eventually scuff up a spot on your guitar around the buttons over time (purely based on my experience; your mileage may vary). I've already written a letter to Santa for the NUX wireless; too bad I think I'm already on the naughty list.

    Deoxit is seriously amazing. It really works wonders. And the whole claim that it "improves connectivity" is 100% accurate. I had a faulty pickup selector that would sometimes cause the signal to completely cut out. I was positive it was just bad wiring and I'd have to pay to have it rewired. But one spray had it working absolutely perfectly. Smooth and silent. It also fixed my scratchy as hell volume knob so I could finally make subtle volume adjustments without pulling my hair out. A few sprays of deoxit and my guitar was back at 100%. Lastly I used it on a 25 year old crybaby wah that had decades of dust inside rendering it unusable.due to loud scratchy pots, and guess what? It fixed it
