How to lift Dumbleator clone signal ground?

[itsgiusto]

I'm interested in making my Dumbleator clone more ground loop-proof. As far as I understand, the fact that the signal ground is earthed makes it very prone to having ground loops when used in conjunction with an amplifier.

I was planning on doing this by taking all places where the signal ground attaches to the chassis, and lifting them, and instead attaching them to some sort of bus. Then I was going to attach the bus to the chassis with the use of a 16 ohm resistor, a forward diode, a reverse diode, and a 0.047uf capacitor, all in parallel. Does that sound like the correct thing to do?

just ONE great way is this ( Allan Phillips Carl Ann Amps gave me this) take the ground lug of RETURN volume pot cut ground wire, ADD a 100 ohm resistor from ground lug to ground.works like a CHARM
