Isolation resistor value

Post by Pete Nicholls »

I have a parallel output on both my guitars and run one output to the tuner. At certain frequencies around the 10th fret, I get a little distortion that disappears when I unplug the tuner. From my limited electronics background it seems that an isolation resistor of some value would likely cure this, but don't know what value might be appropriate. Anyone have any ideas?

There's the sticky at the top of this page.
It's a 1 meg resistor.

5 minutes a day and soon you can be like a pro!

I did this on a Goodrich 120 and it works.
