question about amp
|
|
|
For all you giggers, here is a question: last night, I was playing at a resort for dinner for about 80 people, in a large rectangular room. I had a stage and my set up was as follows: Guitar with Fishman Matrix 1/4" cord Zoom 504II effects 1/4" cord Samson Expedition Express Powered Speaker with Battery I arrived very early because I had never been to this resort (the very nice Wigwam resort in Avondale, AZ), and set up about an hour and a half before the gig was to start. Anyway, everything looked good, so I checked out the grounds and arrived twenty minutes before my start. Now...a few minutes before downbeat, a strange sound came out of my amp, to my horror...it was like rpppppppp pppfffff... it sounded sort of like if you took a playing card and put it in the spokes of a bicycle. Anyway, in a mad panic I got an extension cord and luckily the outlet near me worked (I distrusted the battery), and got a mic set up in case the pickup was somehow to blame (I didn't have a mic stand, unfortunately). I also changed channels, thinking maybe the channel was faulty. Luckily the gig went off without a hitch and the sound did not recur. This morning I changed the 9 volt in my guitar in case that was to blame. I am in the process of attempting to duplicate the problem in my studio, but of course, nothing is happening. Anyone have any ideas what could have been the culprit?
