    Bought a set of Nut files this week!

    For some reason my Gretsch has been giving me headache with the G and D strings sticking. I figured I would pick up a set of nut files and make some minor tweaks. When the guitar sits for a while the G and D strings want to hang up. Moving the trem bar results in a moderately loud "Ping"...

    Confirmed This is a stupid question about FM9 EQ.

    For this I use the cab block to cut highs and lows with reference to using an FRFR cab. Pre and post EQ with respect to the amp block could apply but personally I like to use that surgically when sculpting a tone.

    There are a few issues that I can think of running a passthrough. 1, a lot of connector mass hanging off of the punch plate, 2 not having the wiring dressed down point to point. Maybe not a huge deal but it does make a difference especially if you are moving the board a lot.
