The most common issue I see in guitar pedals and electronics are typically grounding issues. I feel like its one of the most looked over fundamentals and most complex portions of electronics. At a collegiate levels it’s assumed that everyone knows what ground is, but its never talked about or explained. Don’t get me started.
Before watching this video I’d suggest asking yourself. What is ground?
Topics covered:
– ground as a reference point
– ground in your guitar ecosystem
– different types of ground
– how to work with different grounds
Notes: This is an abstracted simplified version to avoid confusion, I refer to “reference” as the 0V reference not a “bias” reference.
