RD dudarino Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I have a 1978 rd 77 artist and am having a problem with it picking up radio frequencys. I have tried it through mutiple amps all with the same result. The problem persists when the volume pots are turned all of the way down. Please help, as the guitar is essentially useless as it is!!!
FredD Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I have a 1978 rd 77 artist and am having a problem with it picking up radio frequencys. I have tried it through mutiple amps all with the same result. The problem persists when the volume pots are turned all of the way down. Please help, as the guitar is essentially useless as it is!!! A couple of questions first : 1. What country are you in ? 2. Can you discern what the signals / interference is ? (i.e. is it speech or tones/white noise etc ?) 3. What is the mains power voltage where you are ? (i.e. 240V / 110V / etc ?) 4. Are you or you neighbours using any video relay equipement ? 5. Do you or your neighbours have any wireless modem equipement active ? 6. Is there a 'Broadband over Powerline Transmission' system active in your area ? 7. Have all the Amps that you have tried it through been in your house and on the same power circuit ? 8. Finally, is it possible for you to 'record' a clip of the interference and PM me with a 'sound bite' attatchment ? If you can answer all these questions it may help me to come up with a possible solution, Kind regards, Fred D.
RD dudarino Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 A couple of questions first : 1. What country are you in USA 2. Can you discern what the signals / interference is ? I believe that the interference is AM radio i Gould hear full songs. ( kinda sounds like it going through a bit crusher haha) 3. What is the mains power voltage where you are ? 110V plugged directly into the wall 4. Are you or you neighbours using any video relay equipement ? I'm not and I seriously doubt that my neighbors are either 5. Do you or your neighbors have any wireless modem equipement active ? I do have a wireless modem active and I believe some of my neighbors do as well 6. Is there a 'Broadband over Powerline Transmission' system active in your area ? To be completely honest I have no idea 7. Have all the Amps that you have tried it through been in your house and on the same power circuit ? No I have tried it through an apm at a buddy's. House and got the same result. 8. Finally, is it possible for you to 'record' a clip of the interference and PM me with a 'sound bite' attatchment ? Give me a day or so and I'll try to get a recording. I really appreciate the help Thanks and hope to hear back soon!!! Shane J.
