Should reverb jacks be isolated from the chassis?
« on: November 03, 2014, 12:13:23 pm »
Hi all!


I'm building a fender-ish AB763'ish style chassis.  Should I isolate the reverb jacks from the chassis? They come with little plastic isolating rings.


Thanks!
Humbly - Mark

The originals were not isolated.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
