VBB Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hey, Has anyone experienced this? I'm getting that random scratchy sound when moving around. I also get it when wiggling the cord at the jack (I use a gold plated Monster Rock cable). Also, I get quite a bit of noise during tuning. You can hear the strings being strummed and the tuning motors whining through the amp. It's muted somewhat of course, but everyone in the place can still hear it.

CharlieP Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 When I first got mine I would get jack connection problems. Scratchy when moving certain ways. After I had it and used it the problem went away. As for hearing the tuning, No. Edit 2/23/09 Just got a Fender HR Dlx. I can hear tuner action now with this amp but is quiet on my others. Must have a little more sensativity than the other amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLexxiTronic Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Nope.... Nada... Zip... Neutric jack is superior (and, I think necessary in order to maintain superior connection). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieP Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I don't see any advantage with the Neutrik Jack. I still keep my cord looped around the strap to ensure the jack does not get stressed. I have seen many LP's and other guitars with the jack mounting screws eventually ripped out. It does not make a better connection and also can add to the screws being pulled out because the jack will not release under force. I would be just as happy without it.

[/quote'] No jack issues, but I also get a very quiet tuning sound through my amp. Reading some of the Dark Fire posts, it happens with them also. Just an inherent issue with the Robots I guess.

VBB Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 My tuning sounds are pretty loud, maybe 25 percent of regular volume. I do have my amp set high and use guitar volume, maybe that has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
