liverpool grounding buss

[mark enger]

Im finshing up my Liverpool and could use some good pix of the buss on the pots, also how many pot lugs do I use one on each pot or just on the end, should the buss go all the way to the input? mark

This may help. It's a Pool built by Dave Funk from his website.

Funk never built a Liverpool.
He built a couple express and a rocket.
That picture was a file photo given to him from someone else not Ken.

Yes traditionally every pot is grounded / sharing a common ground buss

Oh yeah. I completely forgot. Who knows who supplied it. Still a great pic!

I've started to isolate all jacks and all pots on my Trainwrecks.

do you have a photo example of this?

[M Fowler]

No

[mark enger]

I was gonna do it like this mark

[M Fowler]

Yeah that will work good and no need to isolate pots but to help reduce ground loops you might want to isolate the input jack and ground to that buss wire. Or use Cliff jack. Try it first and see, easy to change later but does require drilling larger hole to fit either Cliff jack or isolation washer.

TW didn't isolate so if your going traditional ignore what I say.

A half dozen wrecks used cliff jacks

Interesting point selloutrr!! I read in the Dave Hunter book that Ken didn't like cliff jacks but the no-name express has cliff and I always though maybe other wrecks had them. I can't wait for your real trainwrecks list if it ever will be posted. Very interesting information will be there for sure.

[selloutrr]

If I release the list you will have to buy the book it won't be a public post

[redshark]

Not a problem with that!!

I dont know if you can see this but buss is soldered to two isolated thread-in style ceramic turrets, here's a pix
What i need to know is do i ground that buss with everything from pre-amp and pi, including filtercaps and pots too the ground tip of the input? so the input jack is the finale grounding point? or do i have something screwed up in my thinking, i've always used cliff jacks, but i have a bunch of these switchcraft style input and i know there a lot more sturdy, im just not really sure how they work
