I have a scratchy volume knob on my ESP VIPER7 guitar. Will the spray damage the paint/finish? Do I need to remove the volume pot before spraying?

The Deoxit could crack the finish. I would avoid any spray on the paint/finish, especially if it is a Nitro finish.

remove the vol pot before. You need to get it in the little holes of the pot. I don't think it would hurt paint but I wouldn't chance it.Theres an awesome sticky on deoxit at audiokarma.com

On the right hand side, it doesn't show up in the picture. Volume control has a single knob, all the way CCW is off (with a click), then CW (clock-wise) to increase volume. Handy to have the "off" function in the volume control.

I have used that same sprayer with no problem. When I add the Viper I always put a little extra in. Shake the sprayer while using to keep it mixed up.

I'm having issues with Rocksmith saying the volume is too low even with the volume on the guitar itself turned up all the way. This is occurring on the PC and Xbox 360 versions I have. Haven't quite figured it out, yet. It's been hit or miss. I'm having to tune the guitar outside of rocksmith and needing to pluck the strings extremely hard to get Rocksmith to recognize it's in tune but then when playing songs it registers a lot of misses if I don't pluck or pick extremely loudly.

It is worth the money, you do have to do a little tweaking though. I bought some 60 grit sandpaper and took about 1/2 off the bottom of the saddle (the white thing that the strings go over) take off a little at a time keeping the saddle straight on the sand paper until you reach the right height. You may have to remove the strings three or four times, you will know when you get there by how the strings feel as you are pressing them, Don't go so far that you get any fret buzz though!

I've never experienced any of the conditions you described. If the knobs were to get nasty it would be very easy to remove the case and wash in warm soapy water and a brush. Hope this helps!

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)? But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

I'm adding to the previous answer. Went into their Website and there it says specifically for this Deer pot: Volume is measured to the top but you should never fill it to the top. It is made of thick copper with welded metal tube and long wooden handle. Coated inside with tin and nickel finished on the outside. It is not dishwasher safe. Never use metal brushes or steel wool on the inside or outside. This are the recommendations for all their pots. I just rinse it well with hot water. Hope this helps. No measurement on the thickness of the copper.

If you are speaking of the brush head, once you have the screws out just pull straight out. The belt is tight. I found the answer to the noise(if that is what you are doing) is to take and trim or carefully file to remove that small bit that may be rubbing. You have to do it running to keep it true. Once I trimmed the noise maker this unit has proven it is money well spent

Hey Tom, I have been using this for 8 months, it almost always stays on the guitar unless I'm in travel, I have not noticed any damage at all. I imagine if the foam wasn't in an ideal situation it could cause some damage, like moisture, heat, sunlight, etc. I keep mine indoors and climate controlled. of course the foam is similar to that of the capo I use, so I'm not sure where the damage would come from. Maybe someone else with longer usage can chime in and answer this better. Cheers

Yes, not a problem with software . If recommend CHIRP. Software programming that is free and will do a lot better job then the software it comes with. Side note: the knob can break off easily. Mine popped off after I bought it same day. You actually use the knob for Atleast two functions. One is you have to pull the knob. If you forget it's already pulled out and you pull again , it may break. I used super glue to fix the knob back in place, but after the functions with the knob didn't work very well. If you ever owned a Yaesu vx1, vx2, vx3, like I did -you may be disappointed. I returned mine the day after. Sorry:( just wanted to let you know. You may have better luck, so don't let me get you down! Yes, not a problem with software . If recommend CHIRP.

On mine, it is etched into the pickguard. Seems to be done fairly well for an inexpensive guitar. But remember, if you buy this it will need a setup (about $75) to be really playable. They are mass-produced and the adjustments made at the factory in China are not very accurate.

Hi Mike - My personal experience with this pick up is with the violin model. No drilling was necessary and the sound is great. My bass player installed one of these on his upright and the sound is superb - the best bass sound I have heard. I'm 99% sure that all you need to do is loosen your strings, slide the element under your bridge and tighten your strings back up. As for the mounting of the line in adapter, just figure a way to mount it (tape it, etc.) to your tail piece. I would also suggest stuffing a piece of sponge or insulation between your tail piece and the top of your bass if the closeness of the mount causes a vibration. Have fun. It's a great product.

dealslapper will send paper instructions if requested, there are several examples on youtube as well if you prefer video, bolt on neck, easy to adjust, shim, etc, only a couple of solder points, test fit stuff before drilling holes, take care, give the finish enough time to dry completely, use nitrocellulose lacquer clearcoat to finish, 3-4 coats with sanding 600 grit in between coats, check "byo guitars.com' for finish stuff.[also other kits]

I'm no expert, but I have merrily been using it on my shiny classical guitar. Everything seems very happy...Has removed some spots that were caused by an exploding fizzy drink without damaging the finish underneath! I am very pleased.

Yes. There's 2 LEDs to the left of the pedal marked "volume" & "wah", with the default (green LED) setting at "volume". You have to 'engage' it (press all the way down until you hear the switch click) to a wah (red LED) pedal. I will say that in the volume setting, it doesn't kill all the sound. I have to roll the volume knob on my guitar to 0 to get that. However, as I've only been playing guitar a little over a year, I don't know if that's a normal thing, an issue with Line 6 pedalboards, or an issue with just mine...
