paddy109 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 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. Paddy.

Mudpup Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy109 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 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?

dannybuoy Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Maybe it's just Ashdown pedals, I had exactly the same problem with the Hyperdrive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
