framheim Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 on my fender performer. anyone got any ideas how to fix this? it seems to cut out when i change touch the knob and gets louder the more reverb you put on. it's quite annoying.

Guest idol_wild Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Bypass the reverb channel and invest in a delicious digitech digiverb pedal Alternatively, use lighter fluid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 i can't afford any new pedals just now, though i have been looking anyhoo, i like the reverb channel on my amp so would rather fix that than use a whole unnecessary pedal.

MikeyEB Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 a whole unnecessary pedal.Ahhh my favourite kind of pedal!GuitarNuts.com - Troubleshooting NoiseThis may be a bit generic but it looks like there are a few things to try, did you have your computer on? It seems monitors and such like can cause some buzzing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 If it happens when you touch your knob then it may just be that the pots need cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lame Guitarist Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 davedoes your amp have pre-amp valves? or is it solid state.one of the valves could be faulty and that can affect the reverb channelhave you checked the wiring if theres wires from a reverb plate?

Rusty Deathnail Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I totally don't remember you even having this amp! In terms of help, I have none for you. I agree with Chris though... clean your knobs. That what married life offers you now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skuzzlebutt Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 on my fender performer. anyone got any ideas how to fix this? it seems to cut out when i change touch the knob and gets louder the more reverb you put on. it's quite annoying.i dont know this amp, but first thoughts are:1. are the knobs metallic/ conductive? 2. if it is a spring reverb module it will have one screened line in one one screened lineout, i'm guessing you are missing a ground, hence the buzzing. if you have a digital volt meter (bloody cheap these days -maplin for a tenner) you could test the continuity of the lines to the reverb....alternatively all of the above could be crap....
