I should be studying right now....
*Blog post!* Well, it's test week, meaning I have to study more. It's not too much, Audio Systems is easy. Were going to make a 25W amplifier in the class. It's gonna awesome! Because it's not going to be made from a prepared kit, but from complete scratch down to the circuit boards. ooh.
I just changed my avatar, to a silver fox, as it it my year.

Popped in quick to see what's up. I feel better now. I went to the doctor a couple of days ago. That's good news. I think that's all. I've been spending the majority of my time on deviantART or playing guitar. Well, be seeing you all in a while!

![](http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs26/300W/i/2008/082/2/7/Killswitch_by_Vixthefox.jpg) This is the killswitch I have just installed into my guitar. It was really easy to do too! (since it was a stratocaster clone) I grabbed my hand drill and drilled a bunch of small holes to make the big hole and then smoothed it out with a buffer that came with the drill. Then I soldered the wires onto the button and then connected them to the spots where the wires that go to the line were connected to. The switch is connected in parallel with the line out so that way it will short circuit the guitar and transfer the signal to the grounding wire. The button is a momentary on switch. It wouldn't work if were a momentary off switch, unless I cut a wire and connect it in serial, but if I were to do that, there would be high chances in ruining the guitar. Although I think it would have been a better idea to use a soft touch momentary switch. It's still cool though.

That's what that is. It's a toggle kill switch.

It's been doing OK. We haven't been able to practice in 2 weeks, but we will tomorrow. This time, we're going to have a better sound, now that I have a flanger and killswitch!

Im not sure I understand the killswitch but I think it means you can turn it off spontaneously. That way you can turn it on and off for affect. But Im not sure.
Hopefully your band can perform in some live concerts. ;D

Completely bored...
My fingertips have really thick calluses now. Because all vacation I've been playing guitar. I can play faster though.
I've been getting up later than the usual lol. I woke up at around 2:30 PM. Great time to rest but what a boring day! I really want to go out, but my friend had to take those extra exams to pass. Well I'll just wait. There's still like.... 2 months left. lol.
