Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've never tried a copicat. My TTE isn't noisy at all. Neither was the RE 101 I just sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mr benn Posted February 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hmmm...maybe it's the wrong tape on it? it's this model here... the super IC,not a valve one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bieke Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I just live with the noise, I have a Custom Copicat, tube version and it only becomes noisy with gain way up I also have one of those Noise Decimators, never use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Army of Darkness Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I have one of these. They sound really cool but I haven't played mine in years. Probably the new tape should help with the noise problem. Might be worth cleaning the tape reading heads with some suitable cleaning solution.Edit: sorry didn't read OP properly, already clean heads ...self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members woolyh Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 RE201 doesn't make any noise i've noticed, is the noise coming from the actual tape being processed or is it just background buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
