I believe the magic happens with the 2 smaller capacitors on the input/output
of the circuit, they're additional filters that take out the sucky noise.the Smokey has only 2 Capacitors in it that filter DC rather than tone, Minty is pretty much a modded version of the Smokey. Nice page!

Was in Macomb over the week end, and Di and I realized we aren't seeing JPUSA folks at the Walmat like we use to. Sure miss you all!

Then you gave me some playing tips at your concert in Macomb in October 2012. You were right, building these is addictive. I stopped counting at 40 guitars Merry Christmas, Glenn!

At 6:57am on December 6, 2013, Danny Parkhill said…: Hey Brother, Several years ago on a blog that is no more... you had a FAQ section and answered a question about starting a career in music. I think I remember the title being something like..."So, you wanna be a rockstar". You answered that it's the walk with Christ that's important and without it the business will eat them alive. Could you send that to me.

I had it in a document on a now dead hard drive and I have a friend I would like to share it with. Thanks!

At 11:12am on February 25, 2013, Lisa Kprinkle said…: Thanks so much, Glenn! It's a struggle right now, so we doubly appreciate your kind words. You know from your time with R. what work needs to be done out here! Anyway, as you can see, we've been having a blast with your instruction. The Hollands were with us this month, and their kids built CBGs, alongside our students! Will put up kid pics soon.

I actually have cigar boxes in stock - old habits. :-) I'm curious - the guitar you played on the clip - one piezo - two? Disks - or reeds? I've been looking at plans - but haven't seen any with the neck on the top all the way down like yours. That's sweet. Thanks for sharing your music and passion.

At 9:58am on August 24, 2012, J.Rob said…: Hey Glenn Just heard you on WJTL. Thanks for coming to the fest on Saturday hope to see you there!

By the way Fred Mcnaughton the station manager plays a mean uke.

We also hooked him up with an amped up baritone Cigar box uke.

I also sent you a friend request don't know how that goes through?

I got a video on my page from a contest WJTL was having at the Sertoma Chicken bbq last year.

Hope you get a chance to check it out.

Thanks for your straight up testimony on the air and your love for the blues and most of all

King Jesus!!!!!

Blessings

You must be very proud of your daughter Amy, she really shines in the lead vocals she does on the CD. I pray it will do well and the Lord's hand be upon you and all you do.

You made my day with your comment on my Blind Willie song. I don't have a website but thanks for asking. I play both bluegrass and blues. LOVE to play 3 string blues!
