Grounding Newsflash

FWIW I just found this really useful article on Merlin b's website (as a chapter to his next upcoming book). It must have been put there quite recently.

Very useful and easy-to-understand explanation of currents in relation to grounding. (One wonders what the main topic of the whole book will be at this point. Dibs - I have a couple of things I would like to see covered - namely reverb and tremolo/vibrato circuits)

Grounding is one of the most confusing things in electronics IMO, and it takes a brave man to even try explaining it, so hats off!

His metaphor of "the other half of the circuit" is spot on.

That looks like an excellent article on the subject.

Great article. It is in his current book by the way, straight from it in one of the last chapters.

Ah nevermind I just looked at it, some is the same some is different...

Wow so it is! (albeit now in a somewhat much expanded form). I never looked at chapter 12 until now. (I've spent too much time looking at the earlier chapters) - Must be for 2nd edn then.
