DIY Strat (and other guitar and audio projects). Sunday, May 10, 2015. How to set up a Fender Telecaster-style guitar. Today I’m going to show you how to set up a Fender Telecaster-style guitar. We are only going to do a basic setup, which is enough most of the time, but occasionally more is required, such as filing the nut, or doing some fretwork. So what does a basic setup involve?

DIY Strat (and other guitar and audio projects). Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Making a reverse/inverse RIAA attenuator. A couple of blog posts ago, we made an RIAA preamplifier ( http:/ diystrat.blogspot.com/2015/03/making-riaaphono-preamp.html. Hopefully you understand what that is now, but if you don’t, maybe have a look at that post now. As part of the process of making that preamp, I found it useful for testing purposes to have an inverse RIAA attenuator on-hand. Wait, a what? R3 = 1.5k. C1 = 3.3nF.

DIY Strat (and other guitar and audio projects). Friday, March 13, 2015. Making an RIAA/phono preamp. Before we start today's blog post, I think I really need to clarify what we’re discussing. I’ve recently got back into vinyl in a big way. Part of the reason for this is the fantastic “Vinyl Decision” in Taipei, run by a couple of very fine gentlemen by the names of Mark and Terry (. Https:/ www.facebook.com/VinylDecision. Http:/ www.vinyldecision.com/. The RIAA Equalisation Curve:. And a filter where th...
