Floyd	Re: no reply means it's good? Thanks guys, Was just able to creep over to the PC today, been down with this nasty flue virus (if they get any better than this one we are all in serious trouble). I have heard that a gnd. loop in any circuit could be a source of unwanted noise. Figured it would still work if I broke it but was really wondering why someone would purposely put one in a circuit in the first place. I usually use a sheilded input jack and ground the chassis via the output jack to avoid any looping, also all ground points are built into the PCB when I make them up so I guess that is a star ground and it saves from overheating the pots. Leo Fender was not too worried about ground loops so I guess I should take a clue there also. Thank you for the input guys, Floyd

Thanks guys,

Was just able to creep over to the PC today,
been down with this nasty flue virus
(if they get any better than this one we are
all in serious trouble).

I have heard that a gnd. loop in any circuit
could be a source of unwanted noise.

Figured it would still work if I broke
it but was really wondering why someone
would purposely put one in a circuit in
the first place.

to avoid any looping, also all ground
points are built into the PCB when I
make them up so I guess that is a star
ground and it saves from overheating
the pots.

Leo Fender was not too worried about
ground loops so I guess I should
take a clue there also.

Thank you for the input guys,
