Lozz196 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 As above, when I first connect my Sansamp up and hit a few notes it crackles and there`s a lot of distortion on the sound, but after half a minute or so this goes and it works fine. I`ve changed the battery, as thought it might be due to the one in there being old, but it still does it. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorris Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 [quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1464616252' post='3060801'] Try a squirt or two of switch cleaner [/quote] This could be the thing. I recommend using a Caig DeOxit product rather than Servisol Switch cleaner etc. Get it onto the input jack connections and rub with a cotton bud.Maybe do this a few times. Then use IPA (alcohol/not beer :-) and allow to dry off for a few minutes. If still a problem - same on output connector. Basically the input connections can oxidise - even signal voltage can be enough to break this down but in absence of signal it can become non-conductive again.Sounds odd but have had same on mixing desk insert points. Good luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
