Bassplayerjoe Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I got a Boss Bass Overdrive Pedal and It really did some damage to my amp. I have an SWR workingsmen amp 1 by 15. Whenever I plug in my pedal and stand near my amp I get a high pitched screeching sound. What can I do to fix this problem if it is even fixable.? "All things are possible through Christ."

ArwinH Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I think that's called feedback You didn't mess up your amp, just turn the gain down or bypass the pedal when not in use, and if feedback returns simply face away from your amp. www.myspace.com/movementwithoutmotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g. Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 What he said plus - what bass/pickups - it's possible playing with a lot of dist shook some potting loose in one (or both?) pickups, and it's going microphonic. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottomgottem Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Ditto ^^^. My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front. If I play Tchaikovsky, I play his melodies and skip his spiritual struggle. ~Liberace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArwinH Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 GB, i've had similar issues in the past. It's likely. www.myspace.com/movementwithoutmotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisOfDoom Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Turn the highs down on the pedal. The high frequency knob on that thing does some serious boost. When I feel like melting the audiences ears off "rock god" style I like to gank that thing way up and pickscrape and feedback all over the place. If your pickups have gone microphonic you can have even more rock god fun and scream into them and get some evil sounding vocal tones. -Chris Hobo Libido on MySpace Bipolar Express on MySpace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArwinH Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I think that's how the main vocal on the Incubus song "make yourself" was recorded. Gnarly sounding. www.myspace.com/movementwithoutmotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
