Sorry I didn’t actually read it.

Yes Finder is the macOS analogue of the iOS Files app. As far as I can see Dropbox and Files are pretty similar too. iOS Dropbox lacks tags, though.

Sounds like Which‘s beef is with photo syncing. They think that the Photos app should be able to sync with clouds other than iCloud..?

What can’t you do on Dropbox that you can do with iCloud?

Dropbox seems to behave the same in Finder; you can add tags, organise, etc.

It’s all good now, thanks.

Yes, that's a 9V battery compartment.

Ok, I've just realised how blonde I've been: the volume/tone and pick-up selector knobs were stopping the control panel from lifting off. They just pull off and then all is fine.

Unfortunately, the switch and pot are soldered into the PCB board, which would make it a bit trickier to replace them. I'm pretty happy with soldering wires but I've never tackled a PCB board.

Thanks for the suggestion. The bit with the strings in is separate.

Here's a Dropbox link to a video of me gingerly pulling the control plate around (which wouldn't upload to Lemmy, in the OP). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v7n74q9m252hxrc17f7eb/IMG_0808.mp4?rlkey=qau7d4zum0qswswwngkivenvc&dl=0

 

I have a Donner Hush X and wanted to replace the pick-up selector switch.

I've unscrewed the control panel but it doesn't seem to lift off the guitar body. It might just be a bit stiff and need a little more heft; but I'm wondering if it's soldered to a PCB board and so can'e be opened up with out damaging things.

Has anyone inspected inside or found any YT videos or internal diagrams? I can't find any.

TIA 👍

The problem is that you can’t send from Hide My Email, except in a reply.

I use it a lot but if I think that I’ll need to contact by email by the HME address, I use one of my AppleID aliases.

No, Orange do full-size separate heads and cabs

Me too. It looks quite normal now and, yes, is great for file organisation.

Yes, I think the US pint is 16 Oz (2 cups), whereas the UK pint is 20 Oz (4 gills).

Yes, that shouldn’t be too bad.

I went nuts and did humbucker coil splits, out of phase and serial (on an HH with 2 vols & 2 tones). The coil split doesn’t really sound all that much like single coil to me. Just a bit quieter. The series switching sounds good (fuller, brighter?) If you use crocodile clips, or temporary connectors (e.g. Wago clips) you might be able to try different re-wire options before committing to soldering.

I used Bourne https://www.bourns.com/docs/product-datasheets/PDB183-GTR.pdf which look similar to yours. The terminal pins were pretty small and hard to work with. The CTS ones are supposed to be easier, but I don’t think that they do push-push.

Have fun

Good idea to go for push-push over push pull. I have them on different guitars and push-push is quicker and easier.

I haven’t found any manufacturers that do push-push with triple pole double throw, though.

I also put a free-way pup selector on a strat copy, which is an alternative to switchable pots. https://sixstringsupplies.co.uk/collections/guitar-switches/brand_free-way
