Thanks for the replys, Im going to replace the plate load resistors, starting at V1, if the noise goes away, I will stop replacing resistors. I will continue in this fashion right through the PI if I have to.

I will report back as to weather or not it was the plate load resistors.

Gentleman,


Thanks very much, Kudos to those who put these together!

Very Helpful indeed.

thanks very much,

Hello Everyone, I have a custom lapsteel, and need a new fretboard and am looking for recomendations.
