[@Swiftstyle]

Update: If you're installing this in 2021 you no longer need to pull the capacitor.

[@MrJohnnyhektik]

First: Thanks for the Update. Very good video. I got my Fader yesterday. Is there some kind of serial number or something like this, so I can check if I need to do it or not?

[@chris8media]

So there's 0 difference if you leave the capacitor in?

[@rajeevtune481]

So no diff with capacitor in?

[@Nite85]

does this apply to the newer contactless fader?

[@djadez7549]

why do you say it is not necessary to remove the capacitor in 2021? I installed the fader jese dean a short time ago and when I complete all the steps and turn on the pt01 a pink noise begins to sound through the integrated speaker and also if I connect via aux output to another stereo

[@f0bdollar]

just installed it following your tutorial lol. you made it real easy and wow what big difference it makes with this fader. dont sleep on this yall.

[@marcomizzoni8323]

Gookie Monsta how did you remove capacitors hard to see what he did with his camera angle?

[@mephakistavi]

Thanks for the video! bought mine because you made it look so easy and it was. anyone on the fence about this should do it. so much better than the switch and easy to install.

[@chrisreal4578]

I just got mine today installed it clipped the capacitor and yoooo it took everything to a new level thanks for the instructions I followed it to the T This fader is the cake GO COP IT and don’t be afraid to snip that capacitor THANKS swift style

[@BodieMoto]

how did you take the capacitor off? everyone just skips that part in these videos lol I dont need to know what it does I need to know exactly how to remove it safely

[@Wintom95]

Very nice video! You're the first one to explain properly how to install it!

[@Swiftstyle]

Thanks for watching!

[@disebeats]

where can i purchase one bro?

[@cutdafukup]

i just met jesse at the beat swap meet..he sold me a fader and some scratch records for $60!! what cool ass dude!!

[@overcaca22]

Just successfully did the installation, thanks for the video man !

[@slerpstudios]

For everybody asking about the capacitor, it's not a big deal, you can simple use some wire cutters or scissors to remove it, it's a 30 second job, it's definitely worth doing.

[@marksthespot]

Great HOWTO. Super clear, and great caveat callouts. Using this video as soon as mine arrives.

[@domenicocolaianni1990]

The video's just amazing bro! Nice stuff I'm gonna follow your channel right now! Support from Italy 🇮🇹

[@techsavvyhero]

Excellent install video! Thanks Freddie. Works like a champ! Looking forward to doing more upgrades "under the hood". Go Portablism!! :)

[@reminisce76]

Great tutorial, thanks!!! Just ordered mine the other day. Excited to get it, just a little nervous about the installation. I know it's not open heart surgery but I want make sure I remove the capacitor cleanly.

[@reminisce76]

Quick update. I got the fader in the mail the other day and installed it yesterday. I'm absolutely in love with this thing!!! I can already see a difference in my cuts and I know with practice I'll be chopping it up in no time. Already have a couple of scratch records to work with but I'm on the hunt for the elusive 7" Superseal. Thanks again for sharing this tutorial.

[@DJTWISTA8BLACK]

thanks a lot for the tips. just got mine upgraded. Shout to the team. Djtwista aka 8Black from Geneva Switzerland

[@f0bdollar]

thanks swift gona be really helpful when i do the install. also didnt know about the capacitor removal...dope vid.

[@Swiftstyle]

Make sure to snip it out don't pull it like I did lol

[@f0bdollar]

Swiftstyle haha ok

[@stephens2322]

Wish i'd have seen this before i did mine... lol

[@sneeks71]

Great video as always Swiftstyle.

[@Swiftstyle]

Thanks!!

[@phillipp5465]

Very nice video!! Super thorough!

[@Equalibeats]

I did this, it worked and now I think I want to get more into electronics.

[@Swiftstyle]

This is how it starts

[@studioscratches]

Thanks Freddie. Worked a treat!

[@disebeats]

where can i purchase one?

[@olizen8102]

I followed this successfully. Big thanks!! But, I think you could have spent more time talking about the challenges to install this for people who scratch with their right hand on the vinyl and left on the fader. While you did mention that if you wanted/needed to rotate the fader on a different angle you would have to remove a section of plastic to make space, you could have mentioned that this would be incredibly difficult and required tools that can cut through the plastic and sand/file it down flat. I think it took about 20 mins to follow your instructions, but to cut out the plastic to rotate it took me 2 hours!! And anyone thinking about this... it is the best ever but you must remove the capacitor C513: it is not an option. If you don’t it basically doesn’t work like a scratch fader and you may as well stick with the original switch fader. Thanks again.

[@Swiftstyle]

Oli Zen with the jesse dean Tonearm you can swing it all the way to to top of the platter. This makes right hand cutting feel much more natural with this table. Im pretty sure i talk abput it in the jesse dean tonarm install video. Thanks for the feedback and support!

[@olizen8102]

Swiftstyle Again, thanks for this installation video Swiftstyle! I have not seen the other video yet but I’ll check this out. Cheers.

[@broky]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial..very helpful

[@JavierRodriguez-gu5hk]

Very impressive work . Can I use my phone to play music and with the 7 inch for me to scratch. Once again very knowledgeable info .

[@bestbutton5545]

Great vid mate thanks!

[@camerontait8321]

Great tutorial used it to install mine

[@vazfinestdjchozin1599]

Nice review. WARNING - DO NOT REMOVE C513 unless you plan on switching to the Jesse Dean fader. I did and now the Chipmunks are trippin' and volume is inconsistent. I will be getting a Jesse Dean fader now... Also, I used nail clippers to remove C513.

[@Meako80]

Great video as always- I'll be following this tutorial to the letter soon (I hope!) Ok, so I see that you said removing the capacitor doesn't make the scratch switch sharper. But what happens if you try to use the scratch switch after the capacitor has been removed?

[@BlackAndTeal904]

Holy heck it really works!! I left my pt01 switch but just took out the C513 compacitor to see if the cut off was sharper..Its awesome no more slope in the cut off..Thank you thank you so much Swiftstyle for the walk through👍..I would of been too chicken to do it but you made it clear and easy..#Respect👊👍☺

[@eleuno]

Really? Im thinking in do that. I Need cuts more clearly

[@janthony8]

Freddy bro thanks for the video made it easy af to install. You gonna do one for the track light?

[@dermitdem1179]

Thanks so much for this awesome Video, At first i installed it without removing it and then i removed it to hear the difference And ITS totally Worth doing The Cut is super Sharp now For everyone asking how to remove it Just pull it with your Fingers .. Bend it a Bit then Just pull it .. xD

[@3ck]

thank you very much. It helped a lot! Peace.

[@bengabel1415]

Very nice tutorial. Is it still possible to user the original switch after removing the capacitor?

[@tgoddard307]

Nice thanks, I thought that i could adjust the cut in and out on this fader. I guess I'm wrong so can you tell me which fader it is that I can adjust please.

[@meccaunknown8725]

all that just to use the Jesse dean fader. yeah I'm going to keep my switch. knowing me I will probably break something in the process. but thanks for the vid.

[@Rule7SK]

Dope video I'll def keep the capacitor in mind. How much crispier can that sound be from taking it off though. Can it be easily heard?

[@TheSpotRocker]

Very nice video man, love it. Out of curiosity, whats thats banger you scratch over at the end of the video? I went through the co.ments and didn't see it mentioned. Thanks! A

[@jaycutty1635]

good job on this how to video

[@Wheel333]

Perfect thanks 🙏❤️🙏

[@vestamix3138]

Thanks for this

[@glyff1475]

Yo swiftstyle, great vid btw. I might have ran into an anomaly. I have a pt01-usb. Decided to take the stock metal faceplate for the matte black look. And what was underneath? A port for the scratch switch. Again i have a pt01USB not the scratch version. I was wondering if there was a way to install the jesse dean fader, components are slightly different, not an expert but im sure there is a slight difference in installation method IF it was possible. Anyway you could look into this? Just have no clue where to start. It would be badass to have a pt01usb/scratch hybrid just for a slight difference ;)

[@GoodxJ]

✌🏼

[@henryvongsavath1706]

@swiftstyle would you know if pulling the c513 capacitor will also give an innofader min plus install a crisper sound?

[@Thyst1]

Is there a way to have both the JDean and the original switch fader on the deck at the same time? Like which wires would you have to cut and hook up to have the switch and JDean in series with each other? I’d like to have both options even if I need to drill another hole.

[@Jwumonkofficial]

Ive been on this for 6 hours today I’ve never felt more frustrated when I KNOW I copied him frame by frame. Did the whole calibration that wasn’t even shown in the vid too and got no volume! Calibrating resistors must’ve been broken or something. I was so excited getting this done that after i tested the fader, i opened it back up like 7 more times to see what was really wrong with it. I threw in the towel on the sixth hour. My Pt01 is out of luck.

[@JoeHewesUK]

Thanks for the walk through Swift - I didn't know about that capacitor before. Is it worth taking that out for use with mini innofader?

[@Swiftstyle]

From what I understand the mini inno doesn't require removal.

[@djbk77]

Hello the little question of the friend why should he remove the small welding circuit as indicated at the beginning of this video? And is it necessary to install the jddx2rs fader?

[@stephens2322]

All - i had a problem when i decided to pull the capacitor from the board. Basically, i decided to use a soldering iron, and in heating up the board - the contact pad lifted from the board. This broke a track that goes to one of the pins of the chips on the board. I would heavily, vehemently recommend using a set of small side cutters to remove the capacitor. A friend fixed it by bodging the track connection again.

[@djkobayashii]

Cheers for that

[@djshyproductions]

thanks for this video.... but unfortunately the black screws that came with my faders don't fit the fader plate... they literally slide in and out...the screws are too narrow for the hole in the faceplate, so basically i can't secure the fader to the unit.... :(

[@jairoramirez6670]

Why did you add that paper clip to the tone arm? I have found that when i scratch the arm will move around...will that help out?

[@fedobeatz]

Dope tutorial ! Easy to follow👍🏻 hey if u dont mind, i have a innofader mini in my pt01s and having some popping noise in the fader. I also have the bihari desgins pre amp and tonarm with shure m447. U think cutting off the capacitor helps ?? Thank u.

[@marcomizzoni8323]

Fedo Beatz I would like to know this as well?

[@andreasforsberg7163]

Great video!!! So how does the cut differ in sound between the removal and non-removal of the capacitor?

[@andreasforsberg7163]

Just saw your answer further down below :). Gonna keep it on and try it out for myself.

[@R_E_T_I_E_F]

Is there a way to prevent it cutting out on both the left AND right. I only want to cut out on the right and because the fader is quite short sometime when I release it ends up at the far left and therefore cut out.

[@guamex08]

I've seen another vid where he said his didn't come with 2 washers but you have a vid on installing them for reg/ham styles. Did I miss that in this vid?

[@jessec103]

Great vid. Do you know if there’s is a way to adjust the fader to cut on only one side?

[@benchin5031]

anyone know?

[@LOW3beats]

nice vid is it possible to set up the fader at a 45 degree angle instead of like 90 degree as you guys did it. Cheers

[@Swiftstyle]

+LOW3beats you can turn it in any direction if you snip off the plastic that I point out on the vid

[@chrismckenna9412]

Thanks

[@mattypetch]

Here quite late just got a pt01 scratch so just to confirm capacitor is cut flush with the board not actually removed also do these faders last or do you get bleed after longevity of use and last one would it just be better to get the contactless fader or will this be fine

[@benchin5031]

Thanks for the video! Any chance you would know why my jddxrs-a makes a popping static noise on the right side when scratching? i completely removed the legs of the c153 capacitor and no screws are left inside the turntable.

[@benchin5031]

i just read the comment where you mentioned not to pull the capacitor but to snip it. Could that be the issue?

[@GtheFunk]

great video bro! have you experienced audio bleeding when the fader is closed? i've had my fader for a week and already having this issue

[@Swiftstyle]

+GtheFunk I have not. Sorry to hear that, shokt an email over to Jesse im sure he will help situate you

[@andres3500]

After installing my fader I tested it out and it only cuts on the side opposite of the record. How do I flip this?

[@goddamnzordan]

is it easy to switch crossfader position left to be off and right to be on?

[@others_kno_irie8434]

ok how do you clean them?! mine is starting to bleed and static out

[@jackofblades6736]

Does the capacitor trick work with the JDDX2R?

[@c3sar0]

Awesome video as always! Is it worth changing the fader? What kind of scratch is that from 9:15?

[@JoeHewesUK]

Autobahn

[@Swiftstyle]

no clue lol

[@djspliffyb]

i fitted a new one a few days ago, it was fine for 2-3 days but now theres a loud crackling in background, i thought it was batteries at first but after trying a few other faders i can confirm mine has something wrong.. any help? cheers in advance

[@jigzawroc]

Hey @swiftstyle dope video! I have a question though. what if u don't remove it ? how's the cut if u don't?

[@Swiftstyle]

The audio is not as crisp

[@ppeterso22]

Can I still play 12” records with this fader? I can’t find any pictures

[@eleuno]

I man, ¿¿what if i cut the c513 keeping the original fader???

[@vazfinestdjchozin1599]

Don't.... I'd figure to clip the c513 and keep the timecode running. I did NOT work. Now the Chipmunks are on turntable 1. The deck is out of control when I calibrate VDJ.

[@marcomizzoni8323]

How do you remove the pins after you remove capacitor?

[@martinbkildal]

Would you say its worth upgrading even if i dont pull the capasitor?

[@jasoncasper1373]

how is the cut in/cut out for this fader please ?

[@jrinventormusic]

What does the capacitor actually do in the circuit?

[@bobbyd1658]

What's the name of the beat you were scratching over at the end?

[@takietam5413]

Is any version for right hand scratching?

[@kanehenderson5142]

I followed this video exactly but I can’t get any sound out of the fader

[@marcomizzoni8323]

Did you just push your screwdriver and bend the capacitor off or did you pull on it with pliers? The angle is hard too see how exactly you did it.

[@Swiftstyle]

you can snip it off with cutters

[@deerew23]

Just installed the fader and removed the capacitor as well. However, when I use my headphones, the vinyl audio (from the tone arm) will only come out from 1 headphone. And when I play music from the stereo input, music will play out of both headphones. Anyone know of a way on how to fix this? I triple checked all cables are properly seated.

[@itstheprofessor]

Did you ever solve this issue? I am having the same problem.

[@javierpesas]

Hello master, I have a pt01 scratch it doesn't turn on. It could be the jack input that is loose from the Board, for that reason it does not turn on. I'll try soldering it loose... Greetings from Chile

[@OGSumoVIBE]

how much longer before these ship out?

[@palmerproffits]

worked like a dream thanks dude !

[@Swiftstyle]

No prob!

[@michaelcabrera794]

When removing the capacitor, do you just take pliers and pull it off? Or is there a proper way to cleanly remove it off the board? What is the recommended tool and method to get it off?

[@Swiftstyle]

snip it off with some scissors if you can.

[@satyanpatel6403]

Michael Cabrera or at least use a nail clipper.

[@dme3o]

Swiftstyle hi man. The vid says to make sure to remove the pins. I cut mine off with a scissor, so that means cut whatever excess "pins" are sticking out as close to the board as possible? Yours looks like you soldered it out on one side....lemme know homie. Thanks and keep up the good work!!

[@Swiftstyle]

Your good! I cut mine as well

[@dme3o]

Swiftstyle thanks man. Looks like I need to trim mine a bit more as I hear a bit of volume slopes now and then. Lol!

[@timhowcroft2608]

Does anyone know if I do this Mod and clip off the capicitor, will that then mean if I fancy using a Mixfader in the future it wont work?

[@tonyngo112]

Removing the capacitor won't matter with external faders because the sound that will be cut is coming from the PT01 output (which that specific capacitor doesn't affect). The capacitor removal only has to do with the attached (hard wired) fader to the PT01 itself.

[@djbigc7242]

Well done video! Do you plan on adding a rechargeable battery?

[@Swiftstyle]

I think I'm going to slowly start modding this thing out.

[@djbigc7242]

Swiftstyle that would be dope. Keep the videos flowing.

[@Peirdolan]

I tried to install the fader, but now I don't have anymore power. Any help on this subject?

[@Swiftstyle]

Reach out to Jesse Dean on this. He would be the one to help with technical issues

[@JKing01283]

What's the name of the scratch record you used?

[@powerplay8355]

Why do all these portable turntables need modifications when they were supposed to be made for scratching?

[@Neverkilltime]

Just installed mine and I don't get any audio from the speaker. Fader movement to both sides or middle doesn't have any effect all I hear is audio from the needle. Any idea what could've gone wrong?

[@PatrickBalm]

NEVERKiLLTIME I have the same issue. Just installed it. Any feedback ?

[@Neverkilltime]

Patrick Balm it was actually one of the internal cables I had pulled loose and when I put it back together I guess I pulled it loose again. Try taking it apart and check all connections and carefully re-assemble :)

[@iLLTablemanners]

How did you safely remove capacitor and the pins you mention? I didn't see that. Screwdriver, special tool or just broke it off?

[@naniyates5106]

Someone respond to this question please. I also want to be very clear about that part. Cheers.

[@Lee-UT]

@@naniyates5106 just cut it

[@alchoholocaustable]

I have removed C513 but want to put it back again. Does anyone remember original value?

[@fedobeatz]

alchoholocaustable 50v 4,7 uF

[@GaryMarsh77]

If I remove that capacitor will it make the PT01 switch cut sharper?

[@Swiftstyle]

I don't believe so. Look up a company called RECK.LA on instagram they sell a small clip to help bring your scratch switch in sharper.

[@GaryMarsh77]

Thanks!

[@user-qf9ci8kd4o]

Hi bro!Tell us about the quality of the Feder.how much is it reliable?I bought Stokioi-it broke after 2 weeks((

[@Swiftstyle]

+Николай Кр i have been pushing this fader pretty harf for 2 weeks with no problems

[@user-qf9ci8kd4o]

thanks bro!I always watch your reviews,especially about the records 7"

[@theONEjustin]

Mine came with two O-rings. I heard they're used to make the fader cut on one side only, can you do a video or an explanation of how to put them on?

[@theONEjustin]

also thanks! this video helped me tremendously

[@djscottydoo]

@Swiftstyle Any advise on putting on the O-rings? @theONEjustin Did you end up getting it in?

[@thirdleague5278]

ONE PIECE STEM AND FADER KNOB CONNECTED . THAT WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE FADER . if you could imagine , never worrying about the fader cap falling off the stem , stem and cap CONNECTED .

[@haseown]

what record is that?

[@GaryMarsh77]

I just installed the fader and followed all of the steps, but the fader isn't cutting the sound off on either side. Any ideas as to what I may need to do?

[@Swiftstyle]

Let me ask Jesse. give me a few

[@GaryMarsh77]

Swiftstyle Thanks for your help man. As a test I hooked the switch back up and the sound doesn't cut off on that either.

[@michaelcabrera794]

Is the fader supposed to cut the sound off on both sides?

[@Swiftstyle]

Michael Cabrera yes

[@DeejaySteel]

Gary Marsh did you find the mistake on this? I have the same issue

[@DJSKWhirl]

What type of motor is that??

[@ernielreyes8613]

Where can I get it?

[@oscarbullet]

man, i have followed all ur steps, but its not working with the fader, the sound never change, wt can i do? thankyou!

[@Swiftstyle]

Your best bet would be to email Jesse Dean designs

[@oscarbullet]

@@Swiftstyle thankyou man

[@janthony8]

How are you pulling the capacitor? The edit jumps and it’s off. Unlike the rest of the video which are long shots with you explaining your work. Are you desoldering it? . At the beginning Of the video you didn’t list that with your tools. Since these are the official instructions and all I just don’t feel breaking my table.

[@Thadiggelisch]

The signal just mono or just on one output after instalation😢 help

[@Thadiggelisch]

Fader Version 2.0, i removed the capacitor 😢 read your comment to late

[@liamm8189]

If i need to go back to the switch will it be affected at all by the capacitor removal??

[@marcomizzoni8323]
