my modded 1501d was like that with the gain, but it could be a bad ground too

yea i did a real shitty job on the ground becuase i dont have a drill, so a bad ground could also cause it to totally wig out?

yes, do it over the right way, it can also damage your equipment, so the best thing to do is fix it.

Buy a drill, they are cheap.

drills are cheaper than new equipment... Do it right the first time instead of wrong three times and then finally right.

my drill was like $30...I'm not drilling through cement so a wall powered B&D is all I need.
