Stainless steel set of 9 under-string radius gaugesSizes: 7.25” 9.5” 10” 12” 14” 15” 16″ 17″ 20″This set of high quality radius gauges help to identify the radius of your fretboard. Find the correct size by sliding the tool under the strings and placing it on the fretboard. If the gauge sits flush with the fretboard then that is the radius of the fretboard. You can then check the string height at your bridge to make sure the radius of your bridge corresponds with the radius of your fretboard and make adjustments accordingly.Guitar parts available from our online store:www.valleysound.co.zaPickups & Electrical Components to Amplify Your Guitar, Control Plates, Jack Plates, Neck Plates, Pickup Covers, Pickup Mounting Rings, Screws, Springs, Straps, Strap Buttons, Strap-locks, String Trees, Knobs.

Perfect condition. Only used it a few times at home.The pedal comes with it's original manual and box. I bought this pedal from a friend for R2500.It's worth more, but I'm selling it for R2000.I'm not using it, cause I don't need loops if I'm jamming with other people. The sound quality of the loops is excellent.The pedal is easy to use and very effective. Check the pics for more info on the features of the RC-3My favourite feature is the fact that you can use this pedal for two instruments at the same time. Also two amps at the same time. Check out the A B inputs and outputs. I've used two electric guitars through one amp with this pedal, also I've used a bass and electric guitar through one amp with this pedal. A lot of fun with the looping feature for both instruments. You can even use the Aux input for a keyboard. Thus having 3 instruments connected to this pedal, and playing through one or two amps with the A B outputs. A lot of fun using this pedal for multiple inputs and outputs. I'll include a 9V battery for the pedal.The power supply is sold separately.I'm always using 9V batteries for my pedals.The battery lasts quite long for the RC-3.It's a very fun looping pedal.Jam with your own backtracks and put drum loops with it. The pedal includes everything you need.WhatsApp me if you're interested. 083 255 9992

These potentiometers are custom made for Valley Sound according to our spec. The shaft is solid brass is thicker than your standard 8mm shaft, the shaft has the USA / CTS thread of 9.5mm, if your mounting hole is 8mm (which is normally the standard size for Asian import guitars) then you will need to widen the hole for this pot to work. The shaft is 18mm long for 500k which is perfect for mounting on wood and 15mm long for 250k which is perfect if you have a guitar that has a pickguard or control plate (like a Stratocaster or Telecaster) If you have a pickguard and want to use 500k pots then you will need to purchase either our 10mm spacer (which is also anti-spin) or a set of our extra nut and washer for CTS/USA spec pot and use one nut and washer behind the pickguard to get the correct height for your knob to fit perfectly on the other side.PRICE IS FOR 1 POT – Please add the desired amount of pots to your cart.Required hole size for mounting: 9.5mm (all the pickguards we sell at Valley Sound are USA spec with 9.5mm mounting holes)Pot diameter: 24mm (full size pot)Shaft length: 18mm (A500K/B500K); 15mm (A250K/B250K)Shaft Threaded diameter: 9.5mmShaft diameter for knob: 6mm (split)Includes 1 x washer and nut, if you want more to kind of create a spacer behind the pickguard please purchase “Nut and washer for USA / CTS Pot” separate (Not necessary for 15mm shaft)250k pots are usually used for volume and tone control on single coil pickups500k pots are usually used for volume and tone control on humbucker type pickupsSplit shafts are suitable for push-on control knobs, solid shafts are suitable for knobs that have a tightening screw.Guitar parts available from our online store:

High Quality Metallized Polyester Film Capacitor .033µF (33nF) for tone pots on guitars.Size: 7.5mm Pitch,5% Tolerance up to 250VHow Does it Work?The capacitor is a filter in the tone circuit, which has a value. The higher the value of the capacitor, the stronger the filter it is. A stronger filter will remove more high-end frequencies, which will result in a warmer, sometimes “muddier” tone.How Do You Choose the Right Value?There is only one sure way to choose the right value, and that is to listen to your guitar when you use the tone control. These are the things you want to listen to while you are playing:Your Tone – Does it get too dark and muddy when you turn down the tone; maybe it doesn’t get dark enough?Tone Control Travel – Does the tone change a lot when you turn down the knob a tiny, bit but then stay pretty much the same the rest of the way, or is there smooth travel from bright to dark?If you’re disappointed by the way you respond to those questions, you might want to take a look at the value of your capacitor.Standard Capacitor ValuesThere have been several standard capacitor values over the years, and two are still very popular today: the .047uf, which is generally paired with 250k Pots and works well with single coil pickups and the .022uf. which generally goes with 500k Pots and used with Humbucker pickups. Humbuckers are usually darker than single coils, so the .022uf Capacitor and 500k Pot will cut less high frequencies out.Guitar parts available from our online store:
