weirdest thing that happened.

[Wonderless]

hi guys so today at around 4.55pm, i was playing my guitar on my new amp, VOX DA5 bought 3 days ago. as i was playing i heard background noise when my guitar sound was fading. i on my amp to max volume and WTF i could here hokkein songs coming out from my amp faintly. how is this possible?!??! anyway not sure if this is the correct section to ask about all this. soz

That's normal. It's just your amp picking up random radio signals. Get better instrument cables.

 

[e'zar]

u should say this, KNNBCCB!!!

 

[Wonderless]

oh its due to my guitar - amp cable?

 

[MHD]

Haha! this is actually quite funny.

would be cool if it happens to me.

 

[Likui]

oh no your house is haunted, you need to call ghost busters.

 

[Mirrorboy]

some hokkien spirit decided to make your new amp it's home

anyway cool story bro! lol-ed at it.

anyway how do you find the da5's value for money? is it good?

 

[imkeith]

it's the same thing like how when ur on your house phone and someone sends u a msg or calls or thats the wierd buzzing sound.. haha but hokkien songs? lol thats just a big lol for me

 

[subversion]

this is rather normal/ expected. as advised in post #2, your cable acts like an antenna, picked up radio signals & these get amplified. i did get japanese radio signals through my amp before. but after a cable upgrade, this ceased to be a problem.

My wah picks up radio signals, unless I just push the cable back in a little

 

[MHD]

bro, wad kind of cables are you using? i want to try this out. my mum always listens to the radio.

 

[kodabear]

Wow, this is fun. Next time we do not even need an radio anymore.

Just that we need to find a way to switch the channel of the radio station

Dude! Call the ghost busters right away! HAHAHA

eh i find it the amp very good. from clean sound to distortion, alot of tones. the effects are also pretty fun. reverb is good. definitely worth the money. comes with auto wah effect too
