As you know I can be very stubborn in my beliefs. Just for laughs, I tried using metal film resistors everywhere that touches the audio opamp of my Echo (I also abandoned the DC-offset-correction resistors that were not really necessary, and that helped a huge amount, too). Sure enough, about 70-80% of the noise was gone. Yeah; the tone is a bit more on the clear side and a bit less soupy, but the noise was really bugging the hell out of me. I haven't yet proto'd the non-inverting opamp idea; but I just wanted to let you know I got a lot of mileage out of the metal flims already.

Thanks for the chat! Looking forward to hanging out with you sometime in the future...

Occasionally also my Ibanez SZ (kind of a PRS copy with quilted maple top & fixed mahogany neck) with vintage Maxon PAF-style humbuckers and Gibson style knobs and switch

Let's send you one. Maybe it'll inspire a new swirly design? Also I think I'll want to commission a number of new "smashed pumpkin" paint jobs. Those were really beautiful!

You still at the same address?
