I'm sorry, could I please resurrect this thread and ask some more noob questions? Here it goes:
Assuming that I correctly use copper shielding tape in all of my cavities and on the back of the scratch plate (grounded at the jack or volume pot housing, and overlapping at joints to have complete faraday cage) and the pots make contact with the shielding at the fitting holes …
… do I then still need to ground my pots by soldering wire from housing to housing or is it a complete waste of time?
… if I connect the housings anyway, does it do any harm? Will I create a ‘ground loop’ that will give me trouble?
… should I still use shielded wire and connect the shielding to the back of pots, or is this a complete waste of time?
… if I use shielded wire anyway, would it do any harm?
… if I use shielded wire anyway is it correct that I only ground one end of the shielding to avoid a ‘ground loop’?
Thansk a in advance for your thoughts.
Oli
