what the FUCK is up with my amp???
ok so ive been playing for 2 years now on the same amp, probably every day of those years ive been fucking with feedback and smashing the amp. now it seems to be fuckin up. whenever i turn on my wah, the amp just dies. i swapped the cable twice and it still didnt work. but when i put it in my other gtr it started working. wtf? and then i pout it back into my main guitar and it started normally. do i need a new amp?
|
Your wah isn't plugged in backwards is it?

if you been pushing the amp too far then you will undoubtedly screw it uo over time. they can only take so much. if its quite old then it could just be that the solder joints have gone dry and need a bit of attention. from what you say though it sounds like yr amp.

This is most likely the reason, I think. |
what? what do you mean backwards?
|
Backwards as in wrong. Are you going into the output?
|
the wah just says amlifier, thats where the cables in. (i get mixed up with output and input a lot)
|
I don't use pedals. I'm too gangsta. Maybe someone else can help you.
|
dude but i dont know cause when i turn it on (wah) the amp dies as i said before and then i turn the dist and the wah off and its still dead. and when i go to the gain channel on my amp it works perfectly.
|
Plug your cable directly into the amp. See if that works.
|
i did that too. didnt work
|
sounds to me like your wah might be screwed up. I'm having the same problem with my chorus pedal, and I thought it was either the amp or my guitar, but I've sorta figured out my chorus is screwed up. so it might be the same deal, I don't know
|
His pedal isn't broken. It didn't work without the pedal.

You should have said, "Don't you know answering a question with a question is lame?" |
Get rid of your wah pedal. Nobody likes wah anyways.

This is very true. Unless you happen to be Japanese. In which case you are mysteriously exempt from the universal law: Wah = Shit. |
You guys are crazy.
Wah pedals can be used in a whole lot of ways. Mick Ronson had his on all the time as a tone controlling device, and barely ever went into "wah solo" mode. I think Loop used wah very well too. It's like an e-bow; lots of people only know how to do one thing with it, but there are a lot of possibilities there to explore if you take the time to develop some finesse and technique with the thing. I don't use mine all that often, but I'm glad it's in the chain. |

I think it's the age-old thing of for every one decent use of a pedal, there're a million shit uses. See also: Delay/ ring mod. |
See: guitar.

Oh, touche squire.

I can't really think of a shitty use for delay other than covering up bad playing. As for ring mod, I pity the foo who has his ring mod on his board for pure noise making. It is a microtonal instrument! |

You can't think of a bad use for delay? Do you live in some kind of bubble which prevents you from hearing the infinite number of shit post-rock bands out there? If so I am incredibly jealous. |

Perhaps.

Never listened to any of the other ones AFAIK. I did listen to a lot of stuff when I DJ'd (we had to review albums each semester) but I can't remember all the band names, most of the shit that came into the radio station was utter crap. Leading me to believe that indie rock labels with a few exceptions, are just as shitty as major labels. You should read the press papers they send these CDs with. The coolest stuff we got was experimental stuff. I really dug that. We would ocassionally get box sets, I remember we got a Fall box set. Most of the stuff I played on my show was on vinyl though, there was rarely stuff in the bin that I really liked. |
Crikey. That was a very comprehensive/ oblique response a blithe and off-hand comment. Good work.

Fabulous Muscles isn't even a good Xiu Xiu song. It is down there with Walnut House. Try 20,000 Deaths For Eidelyn Gonzalez or Apistat Commander.

Thank you. Wikipedia did most of the work, all I did was read the names and posted my response! |

You answered your own question. If you fuck with your equipment, it will fuck up. Don't let Kurt Cobain fool you, they started buying equipment just to break on the encores... I cant tell you what is exactly wrong with your amp, but I would take it apart and check to see if your input jack is cool, and check any other wiring. |
You should precaution him that his amp could have large capacitors holding deadly charges and he should know how to properly discharge them before he does anything.
