[RWP] Adrenalinn guitar pedal's sounds

[Indigo]

I would not advise the $43 Fender Schaller-type tuners sold on Amazon.
Their quality is very nice, they lock onto the end of the string like a 
pair of ViceGrip pliers, but they don't mount with the tiny screws like 
stock Fender tuners.
There are 2 pointed studs that stick out of the body of each tuner that 
require a little hole to fit into; and the actual thing that holds the 
tuners on is the metal nut on the tuning peg.
I usually do careful work and get things on straight, but in spite of 
all I could do, they didn't go on perfectly straight, so the tkuning 
keys are all slanted a little from ninety degrees in relation to the 
side of the headstock.
The Squire headstock is curved on the side anyway, making it really 
difficult to measure  what is exactly 90 degrees.
I was gratified to read an article online from a sighted user who had 
the same problem, and didn't get his to go on perfectly aligned either.
Besides the alignment problem, the tuning pegs on the staggered 
Schaller-type tuners are so short you need to tighten the mounting nut 
incredibly tight to get the string hole to appear above the surface of 
the headstock.
I'd give them another turn with the socket wrench, way tighter than I 
would ordinarily do, and still no hole appearing; give the nut another 
turn; wondering when the threads would strip; or the headsgtock wood is 
gonna split wide open; and finally I got some string hole to show.
Schaller's idea actually works, with not a bit of surplus peg sticking 
up, just enough for a couple turns of string; and the strings running 
very low barely off  the headstock, no string trees required; but what a 
crazy difficult installation process.
How can Schaller advise you to wind the strings down toward the 
headstock, when the insertion hole is barely above the headstock, no 
place for string windings below the string hole.
