fallenstar Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I got a new amp, the ashdown perfect 10, 30w. I kept hearing a phone ringing periodically, and realised it was the amp. seems worse on more gain. Is this a defect in my particular amp, or something else? I'm a little shy and don't want to take it back unless i know it is broken. Playing the basic Yamaha bass through it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that what you're hearing is your mobile phone doing an update on the network - some amps seem more succeptible to picking this up than others. Try sticking your phone over the other side of the room or switching it off. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 The ashdown perfect 10 can sometimes pick up radio interferance. I used to get a local church coming through mine quite regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my old grandad used to say 'never trust something that thinks it's smarter than you are'. EDIT: Which in my case also includes breakfast cereals...
