binky_bass Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hey guys, I'd really like to get this sorted ASAP so any help would be great!!! I've got this Rocktron Cyborg Reverb Pedal that's caused me an issue a while back, it produced a high pitched hum when powered along side any other pedal... Since then I isolated it with a seperate power supply, and it's been fine. But after having sold a few pedals and re-arranged my board, I'm having issues with that pedal, but of a different nature. Now the bigger is making my active Spector Euro LX6 sound like its farting! Almost like I'm playing through a blown speaker... (I'm not!!!) I've re-jigged everything in a load of different orders but still the issue remains... It's not the patch leads, or the power supply or the amp. (well, so I think!) and it only happens with this pedal and only since I got rid of a few pedals... So, any ideas??? Thanks! Russ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydentaku Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 have tried it separate from other pedals/cables/equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yeah mate, I've tried it on its own with different patch leads and a different power supply... still getting that farty kinda noise! Seems only to happen with my spector though? Pedal or bass issue I wonder? Though both 'appear' fine when not used together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Is the Spector active? could be either too much input from bass OR low battery in bass if it's active... Otherwise I would check the pedal is getting enough amps (not volts) as some are quite thirsty for power, they will work with less power until you push them, then they fall over and distort.

jaydentaku Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 is it a tone pump jr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 I think it is a tone pump jr, what significants is that? And the whole 'enough amps' thing seems like a valid arguement.., I shall look into that dude, thanks! Russ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydentaku Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 well, on the tone pump (not the tine pump jr) there is a gain dial on the preamp unit itself, that might be causing you issues, if you have it, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
