bubinga5 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Seems i have a scratching noise coming from the input on my Aguilar when i move the lead or spin the jack.. i know close to zero about amp tech. any ideas what this might be. is it an easy fix.. i have a repair guy in mind but don't want to go to him if i don't need.. Or could it be my lead i ask myself.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 That would be the first thing to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) yep stupid me.. I've just tried a different lead and its the same. i should add it distorted quite badly on saturday night while playing live.

JPJ Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I don't know the internal layout of the AG500, but its possible that the input socket is surface mounted to the preamp circuit board. Over time, the action of plugging in and unplugging leads could have caused a crack in one of the solder joints causing the scratchiness and crackling. Sounds like you need to visit your friendly local amp tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
