Are you having a hard time finding out what component is failing or broken in your pedal project? This is where an audio test probe can be extremely valuable and easy to isolate a problem.

The Rattlesnake Audio Probe is a great tool for you DIY effect builders and modders out there. It allows you to probe the circuit establishing break points that let you know what the circuit is doing audibly. This is a great way to identify bad components or where there circuit is failing.

You simply connect a cable from the amp's input to the 1/4" jack on the probe. Connect a cable from guitar or signal generating device (could be a looper or instrument) into the input of the pedal. Insert the black (ground) probe somewhere in the circuit's ground (usually a screw hole on the enclosure chassis) then touch the red probe to the component. I usually tend to start at the input which should give you a clean, un-effected tone, then work down the trace until you identify a problem.

The probe is not meant for high voltage devices... it was designed to test simple 9V circuits like pedals.

Q: Can you probe high voltage items like amps?

Answer

Absolutely not. This is for low voltage applications. This is ideal for pedals, etc. But not for amps.

Q: Do I need power to use this item?

Answer

No. This is a passive circuit that will flow signal to an amp. Basically short circuiting the signal and bypassing to an audio device. No batteries or power supply required.

Q: How do you get a source signal into the pedal to test?

Answer

You can plug a guitar, but is awkward to play and probe at the same time. We would recommend some type of looper that loops a consistent signal into the pedal so you focus on probing.

Achieving a quiet, reliable and trustworthy signal from guitar to amplifier is always a priority and crucial aim for me as a guitarist. The key to dependability is a quality cable. Hank at Rattlesnake Cable Company has managed to assemble the perfect combination of plugs, cable clamping system, protective weaving and top-grade copper wiring that ends up with not only a durable cable that punches the signal through with clarity and transparency and capable of dealing with the physical stresses that live venues demand but a chic and dressy accessory as well.
