Super useful - appreciate you!
Thanks man. Glad you found it helpful. ✌️
Another great vid with the simple things missed by manufacturers. Top work bro!
Off to get some copper tape for my JD Cry Baby. Still got all its feet too:)
What is the meter you use?
Hahaha I just bought some new feet for mine because they are probably in a stinky tour bus somewhere. lol. ... materials all linked in the description:

Awesome, I’m going to do that to my noisy Wah pedal, thank you.
Mine is a Vox battery powered pedal, is there any way of wiring it up for a mains 9v feed?
Awesome thanks for the comment. Yes you can, just solder in a power input and you’ll need to drill a hole to mount it. There is a tutorial I’ve seen on UA-cam. Try a few searches. 🤘🏼👍
What is the pedal case made of? Is it plastic with metal coating? Or solid metal with paint?
Hey John, they are a type of alloy cast, they do have some conductivity but very poor. You would think it would be enough, but seriously this works so I do it. The newer pedals don't seam to be as noisy though.
@@RisingSunGuitarMods Would be interesting to see if the reflowed solder joints were enough without the copper tape shielding. Still, the operation was a success and the patient lived :-).
@@JohnShalamskas Yeup good point. I have tried it previously and it does help but the shielding reduces the noise even more. 🤘🏼👍
I was wondering the same because my thinking was "its inside a metal enclosure already, why shield it?"
I learned today, and not from my own mistake, so I call that a win!
Interesting. Just found this video trying to troubleshoot a noisy 70s Thomas Wah. I thought about shielding, then dismissed it as the enclosure is metal. Maybe I’ll give it a shot
