Hi. Yes the top of the pots is grounded to the bridge but I’ll give it a go shielding the cavities. Thanks for your reply.

It’s not as bad as all that and having mucked about with my other (commercially built) guitars at high gain settings they can be made to do it too, although to a much lesser extent. Perhaps its just a result of the cheapo components. Thanks to all the people who took a look at this comment (currently 172 views).

GibbergeistParticipantThe worst bit of kit I ever bought was a Washburn ‘Bad Dog’ Flanger pedal. It sounded like putting your guitar through one of those telephones kids used to make with two plastic cups and a piece of string. Once you added distortion you just became confused. How could a Flanger fail so utterly to sound like ‘Aint talkin bout love’?. The best bit about it was it was a metal casing – what a waste of effort though. I sold it on e-bay and it was accidentally damaged in transit – a fitting end.
GibbergeistParticipantArpeggio is from a Italian word that means ‘to play on the harp’ and dates from the 18th Century. If you think about melodies typically played on a harp it makes sense.
