Members DirtyBird Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 I have no idea why... It uses a battery, no AC adapter... Is it possible that like... nearby powerlines/radio towers/cell towers are throwing it off? But all my friends' wah pedals work fine, my amps work fine, my other pedals when I use them work fine... Just my wah... It makes this annoying "blooOOOOOP" noise as you sweep it. It's the most irritating thing I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Facing Failure Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 my wah pedal has the same problem and only at our practice space, which means I use it a lot less which means it's not currently on my board which makes me sad:cry: If you figure it out, let me know...cause I'm hoping one day I'll find out with mine.

Members Facing Failure Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 just an old crybaby I've had forever. It works everywhere else I use it except our practice space.....which makes me not use it as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 Remember I couldnt use my wah at the apt I lived in the last 2 years. Too many radio towers. All it did was a buzz and be a mexican radio.Now that I have moved, Im happy to have it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members phyrexia Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 Take it apart and make sure the solder joints from the board to the jacks are good. I have one that will work if you're lucky but you can just lift the jack straight out of the PC board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
