Left Foot Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Turns out there's some magnets in the lining of a hardcase I was going to use for effects and signal chain. Would this damage or effect pedals or sound quality asid like to keep the lining. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 If you have so powerful magnets that you can hear the sound difference, you should avoid them. You may have to leave your keys to be able to walk away... Seriously, if a magnet is very near of a transformer (stuck to it), there may be subtle difference in its behavior. I try to think, which effect pedal might suffer from a nearby magnet but can not think of any. Cables do not care at all, if they are not wound to coils. Tubes can be affected but again the magnet has to be powerful and it has to be very close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Some wah pedals might have coils inside, some might have transformers if they have a DI output. They might be affected by a magnet, but then again the overall effect may be negligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 ...and the magnet has to be very close to that coil. One foot is very far. Less than an inch is pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
