badboy1984 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I haven't use my pedal board for a long time but decided to play around with it last time to work on some sound for the songs we will cover. I plugged everything in and fire the amp and pedal up but the sound I'm getting is crackling distorted sound. I thought is bad cable, so I try put the bass into the amp directly and no crackle, then I've tried each individual pedal and no crackle. Then I've slowly try linking each pedal one at a time and see if the crackle occurs. End up putting everything back together using the same patch lead and instrument cable and the crackle is gone. No idea why it was doing it at start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Dirty jack socket in there somewhere? Unplugging and re-plugging them could clean the socket enough for it to work properly. Powering up a SMPS without the effects connected can also cause weird artefacts, although it's more usually a high pitched whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
