I’m sort of new to the Hum Debugger – in my research I’ve heard both sides of the story; some people claim it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread while others loathe the thing.

Here’s my issue – I’ve got a Fender Black Dove P-90 Telecaster and I’m pretty sure the soapbars are designed to accomodate Fender spacing. I really like the sound but cannot stand the hum; there does not seem to be any suitable noiseless P-90 alternative, much less one for Fender spacing.

I don’t play anything too gainy – my ampliers are a Fender Vibro King and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (never use the gain channels – it’s set clean). The heaviest distortion I’d consider using is a Proco Rat or Wampler Pinnacle 2; fuzzwise, probably a Keeley Fuzzhead.

Will the Hum Debugger work and save me the trouble of having $300 pickups made for my Tele? Or will I be stuck with the dreaded “coloring” or “reverb effect” on my tone?

well testing with the electro distortion, since it has no other controls (it looks just like the diagram)

i tried to rewire to make it look like the diagram and it still dont work.

but i do get an effected signal if i run an extra wire from sleeve to sleeve ground on the jacks, and if i touch the sleeve and ring together with my finger on the input, but strangely it wont work at all if i hard wire it?!?!?!
