hatnobobble Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Hi folks. Recently recorded live video with my band. Used my Radial Bassbone as a DI to the desk and running to Fender Bassman Combo. All good but when I wanted to engage the Boost, the footswitch ellicited a popping sound through the combo. No other technical problems apparent. I detatched the Boss chorus pedal loop but this made no difference. Leads were all standard jack to jack for instrument to Bassbone pedal (Fender J B, insulated with copper foil and graphite bass paint - totally silent) & bassbone to amp. Any ideas what may be causing the problem? Do I need different leads? Help appreciated, cheers Edited February 9, 2012 by hatnobobble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davebassics Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Sound like a pull down resistor issue. A good article: [url="http://www.muzique.com/news/pulldown-resistors/"]http://www.muzique.com/news/pulldown-resistors/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 i would agree, this is a common cause - had this on a couple of homebrew pedals. Soldered a 1M resistor across the terminals of the input jack from hot to ground at it cleared up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
