I like ring mods, but never put one inside a guitar.

I also like the easier-to-do without a push pull, passive pickup blender.

But now that I know what you've got, I'd be dyin' to go 4-way, and use the hole for a Black Ice fuzz , or actually a cheaper double diode clone of it.

It takes a lot of power to push the back-to-back diodes in any passive fuzz, over 8 K ohms, and a series-connected Tele would do that smashingly! :D]]> From Here to There Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/new-hole-in-my-guitar-what-electronics-should-i-fill-with/#post-338101 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/new-hole-in-my-guitar-what-electronics-should-i-fill-with/#post-338031 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 10:44:27 +0000
This was just a goofy question I thought I would throw out there and see what kind of responses I got. My main ideas were to either put in a ring mod and have it be activated by a push/pull and have the knob effect the tuning of it... or I was going to put maybe some kind of passive fequency sweep that I could set and then engage with the push/pull. But I have enough room that I could add another knob, or a knob and a switch etc... and still have room for a battery.

Anyways thanks for the replies and useful tips.]]> From Here to There scr@tchy https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/new-hole-in-my-guitar-what-electronics-should-i-fill-with/#post-338031 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/new-hole-in-my-guitar-what-electronics-should-i-fill-with/#post-337235 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 08:46:28 +0000


If it were mine, my first choice would be to order a new custom pickguard from WD Music Products , sending them the desired template. Of course your volume would be where you can reach and curl it, and put the switch and tone where you want.

My second choice would be to put in a Fender 4-way Tele switch while inside the guts of the guitar, (while you're re-locating the volume) and have two tones like a Strat, in this case, one for each pickup. Sorry, I don't know which effects box circuit boards might fit or how the battery could be accomodated within the available space? Also, what would you put in the hole - the stomp, or a toggle, rotary, whatever? I wonder where the effects control knobs would be?]]> From Here to There Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/new-hole-in-my-guitar-what-electronics-should-i-fill-with/#post-337235 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/new-hole-in-my-guitar-what-electronics-should-i-fill-with/#post-337212 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:26:14 +0000 From Here to There Moonrider https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/new-hole-in-my-guitar-what-electronics-should-i-fill-with/#post-337212 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/new-hole-in-my-guitar-what-electronics-should-i-fill-with/#post-36953 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 20:13:14 +0000
So I love teles now and have to move the volume knob leaving a hole where it used to be.

I can't decide on what electronics to put in there, phaser, fuzz, octave, octavia, etc.

I know I should be able to pick something myself but was just wondering what other people would do.]]> From Here to There scr@tchy https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/new-hole-in-my-guitar-what-electronics-should-i-fill-with/#post-36953
