Guitar Geezer Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 OK - a guitar related topic Last Saturday, playing a thing for the Young Adult group at the church, decided to plug in the old Dano Daddi-o between the Morley WAH and the Roland Cube (just for fun). Touched the strings and started picking up some Radio station......or it could have been Randolph AFB Haven't heard this in a Loooong time....unplugged the Daddio (didn't really need it) and everything back to norm. Found this thread from back in 2001 Any of you electronic whizzes have any more to add? BTW it didn't do it when I got back home! Lynn G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Strat Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 What guitar were you playing? Is your Church's electrical system grounded properly? Two or three prong power chord? We need the details, man! List your entire setup in detail. BlueStrat a.k.a. "El Guapo" ...Better fuzz through science... http://geocities.com/teleman28056/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J J Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 i use the dano overdrive too and get a lot of radio signals out of my deville. Mostly talk shows. i kinda like it though, it kinda gives our band a strange sound between songs. Reminds me of something pink floyd would do, like on wish you were here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedals (and a number of other electronics) generally tend to pick up frequecies in the AM band - hence the talk shows. I used to know why this happens, but obviously I've killed off those brain-cells somewhere along the line...

I'd also like to add that single coils really play a part in this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar Geezer Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 OK...I'm baack.. (don't ya hate it when you actually have to work ) First time that I've been in the church, but the electrical system seemed to be first rate (grounded etc) I was using the SX Frankenstrat http://www.teamtatham.com/lynntest/sx2000.jpg Guitar>Morley bad Horsie>Daddio>Roland Cube 30 Of couse I had about 30 feet of cord between everything (didn't get a chance to pick up some new 1ft patch cords) Which is probably a major reason for the interference I seem to remember that a lot of coiled up cord can have an antenna effect... I suspect that it was the Daddio...same thing happened when I plugged in the Ovation! No big deal...like I said. doesn't do it at home or at Bob and Robin's (the Jam place).
