Hello,

I’m building a TL-1 kit and have seem to run into a problem with the electronics.

Once I soldered it all and assembled with strings, I plugged it in to test it. The moment I touched the strings, it buzzes. It sounds just like the standard electrical hum but it is much louder. It buzzes when I touch the strings, bridge and control panel (except when I touch the knobs).

Here’s some pictures of the wiring (there are extra wires as we grounded the bridge and the switch/control panel, which is the little brass bit, to the pots)

Can anyone see any errors or problems? All the bits came from pitbull but it still could be the bits.


Cheers,
