Ashdown NM2 hum help

Recommended Posts

I am relatively new to effects and have just bought a new NM2 and have a dreadful buzz/hum since plugging this in. This gets louder when touching the foot switches and reduces when touching bass strings. There was no problem before introducing this - any ideas of how to reduce or eliminate the hum? I don't think there is anything wrong with leads or power source.

Bass is a Fender Flea > NM2 > TC Electronic BH550 > Barefaced Little Midget.

Sounds like an earth issue

Have you actually changed the lead and tried it on batteries?

Or you may just have a duffer - try it plugged into any other amp you can find or trot back to the shop

Leads are the same as I always use. Just tried a battery and there is no difference.

The noise tends to be stronger when the NM2 is put on the floor as apposed to the arm of the sofa?!?

If it is a dodgy unit and a Earth problem is there a DIY solution?

If its a new unit don't mess about with it because you'll void any warranty.
Just return it
