Input grounding on #124

Post by hans-jörg »

Hi,
as you can see I´m a new member of this forum, but with perhaps an old question.
In the layout are Swichcraft input jack shown, which are probably direkt connected to ground. I have ver bad expereance with them and want therefor use Kliffs. So where will be the best grounding for them - ground point 1 or 2 ?
Thanks in advance,

Hans-Jörg

Ok, i Just saw it somewhere else: its grounding 1

Just ground it at the ground point in front of the volume control.

Yes, like we learn(ed) in school. INPUT: as closer - as better.
Iwas little bit irritate because until now I builded only with center star and one or two, tree stages. But every ground stage was conected with star ground. Here I can`t see such a star. or I`m blind. mainly I can`t see a conection between 1 and 2.

No Hans-Jorg, there's no star ground point. The grounding scheme shown in the layouts is correct.

Hi,
yes, no doubt that is correct. Otherwise it wouldn`t be so shown here.
Its the neverending learning whats keeping us young.
