    Thanks for the compliments joneeboi! I really enjoyed doing this mod and its so nice to have everything just work out great with no expensive mishaps The wire is some 30awg silver plated copper... no idea what brand its just from the local electronic store. Same with the caps, not sure which...

    Here are some pics from my mod. What is really nice about it is that i can now use the input jack from the tomahawk as a line out and i don't have to have any bulky LOD connectors and cables sticking out

    Thanks for the tips and concern guys, the wire im using is 30 AWG silver plated Kynar wire so its really thin and i think i might get away with connecting so close to the button. Ill test before i close it up completely. Im just not sure where else i could hook up a ground? Also where is...

    Thanks for the link Joneeboi, that has been a great help and i think ive located the 2 pins you are talking about. It looks like pin 28 just goes no where but i think ill be able to connect to the little silver circle that the green arrow is pointing to for pin 31. What do you reckon...

    Fully modded E-Mu 1212M pics and impressions (so far)

    Awesome! So glad someone managed to find the pics and upload them again, thanks so much pozitron! I think i understand the removal of the caps in the output signal but the rest is a little above my understanding. For the moment i think ill just remove them and see how we go.

    Swapping tomahawk cap with blackgates worth it?

    I dont know, just thought the way that everyone goes on about black gates that it might be worth the couple of $ to swap it out. It doesn't make any sense to me how it would improve it other than perhaps a better quality component but even then its still going to be an electrolytic cap and...

    The Apple diyMod: My Take on the Famous iMod [56k killer] Featuring 3G, 4G, 5G and nano 1G!

    I think im right but i just want to double check.. Im modding a 5.5g ipod but im not going to mod it to the line out. Im gonig to drill a hole in the back and run the wires straight through the caps and to the amp. Anyway what i was wondering was where would be the best place to take the...

    Swapping tomahawk cap with blackgates worth it?

    I was just wondering if anyone thought it would be worth swapping out the cap inside a tomahawk with the blackgate equivalent. I did a quick search and it looks like the closest one they have is their 15000uF 10v NX cap. This should work i think... Anyone think it would be worth giving it...

    Awesome! Thanks for that post joneeboi, it has helped me SOOOOOOOOOOOO much! Another thing i think i read but cant seem to find anywhere, i could just be tripping.. was that the ideal uF value would be 1uF for every 100ohm input impedance on the connecting amp? Anyway thanks again! Ill...
