Members omor Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 probably the shielding in the pedals isnt amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mikoo69 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 the only reason i don't think its the pedals is that in other places i play i dont get this proiblem...i assume there is some issue with the power in the new studio/practice space..... would that ebtech hum-x solve the problem?

Members Yarmo Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 You can't really fix it. Fuzzzz and high-gain boxes can do that once in a while. You can change cables to see if it makes a difference. Otherwise: deal. I find it very amusing and usefull. Once, during a gig, we ended a song in a feedbacky delay-drenched noisy way and as I lowered the volume we heard a loud: WAR IS USELESS in an AM-y sounding way. I stomped the fuzz off right then and there. Peeps in the crowd never understood where that line came from. I told everyone it was a secret. As YourHerodDGC wrote: embrace it!

Members omor Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 or it could be that the frequency that they're tuned to pick up is stronger in the new area. if it doesnt happen with them in the circuit or off, its the pedals. It used to happen all the time with pedals I built until I really started shielding them...except I'd get asian neighbors' phone conversations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
