attackbass Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I've got a Delano preamp on its way to me and it looks simple enough but I am confused as to what to do with the various grounds coming off the tone, volume and preamp. Do I just send the ground from the blend to the volume and then to the jack input and also send the preamp ground to the jack input? Do I need to wire one of them to the bridge?! Usually I can wire passive instruments but not sure what I am to do here as it's not clear in the Diagram (to me)! Here is the diagram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Star grounding is the best option ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise that adding ground jumpers could increase noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
