1Spot trouble...

[RaynerT]

When I connect the pedals to the adaptor, it seems to create loud hissing and humming sounds from the amplifer even when I am not playing the guitar, but however, it seems that if I run my pedals on batteries, there seem to be minimal hiss and hum, is there a problem with the adaptor or wat should I do? Thanks.

Try one pedal at a time with the 1spot daisy chained and see if there's any one offending pedal first.

Someone should sticky this.

Is is necessary to ground the amplifier? As in to change from the 2-pin to a 3-pin one?

 

[thor666]

it depends on the design of the amp - i think mikemann mentioned this somewhere in the Changing 2-pin to 3-pin sticky before. read that one too.

go through the debugging link first then post back if you have problems.

I'd just ground it, whether it hisses or not.

I like to know that it's grounded. :lol:

yea man, ground the amp. gd thing to do. btw, if you've got more than one tonecore pedal then it could be the cause too.

 

[ala_carte]

yup it could/should be the amp..if not it's a faulty 1 spot

i too have same problem with one of my 1spot. I guess we just have to accept it. Some are just lemons

 

[ahkiatt]

just ground it lah... no harm what... and prevents nasty shocks...

LOL, I think i will have to transport my Cube 30 to my father's workplace before I can do grounding. Because I cannot detach the wire from the back of the amp!!! ARGH!! :twisted:

 

[theblueark]

You can do it with a knife/scissors and a screwdriver. Still, the hum might be coming from somewhere else too, try what I said in my earlier post.

yea thanks for the advice blueark, will go through the process sometime soon.
