CryabetesParticipant
hm. i’d skip the DI suggestion then, if it’s not ground noise.
Does the sound that happens sound more or less like velcro? I had that happen with mine last night, although the Clip LEDs weren’t lighting it was rather audibly clipping. Is it constant or does it depend what you’re putting into it (ie, you play louder, the noise gets worse)?Also, how high do you have the gain?
XLR F is the end of a mic cable that goes into the mic. It has the holes that the prongs of the mic go into, so it is the female (F) end. DI boxes typically only have Male ends so a female-to-female adapter would allow you to take an XLR balanced signal and convert it back to unbalanced but whose ground plane was disconnected from everything before the first DI box.
CryabetesParticipantOh also, this should probably go without saying, but make sure your tele is properly grounded n’ all that – not just for noise issues but also in case someone at the venue’s you’re going to be going to decided to cheap on the wiring.
CryabetesParticipantalright so to me, this sounds like a ground noise problem, probably caused by the AC adapter of either the M13 or Magic Stomp (both of which are 9vAC units, as opposed to the typical 9vDC adapter- AC power, while not necessarily BAD, doesn’t get caught by power filtration caps and so can pollute a ground bus with hum.)
-Are you using the supplied adapters for the M13, Magicstomp and 2880?
-Your JC120 probably doesn’t have a ground switch, huh?You could also probably eliminate this with a DI box or two- so the end of your signal chain looks like
M13 output -> DI box (ground lifted) -> xlr F to xlr F adapter/cable -> DI box -> JC120 amplifier.Otherwise, try removing single pieces of your setup and seeing if the hum vanishes.
(also the first problem sounds like what happens when you don’t have a CF card in it, or if the CF card came dislodged. Be gentle when you insert/remove the cards- those card readers are not cheap to get fixed on these units.)
CryabetesParticipantHow do you have it hooked up? What’s going into it, what’s it feeding, etc?
CryabetesParticipantdoubt it. when they say 9vDC, they mean 9vDC.
CryabetesParticipantyeah try a different cable. It sounds like either it’s not staying in all the way or making contact with the ‘ring’ (power) terminal on the pedal.
CryabetesParticipantbummed the 2880 didn’t have one.
CryabetesParticipantitunes, you scammer.
CryabetesParticipantby ‘doesn’t work’, do you mean won’t switch from bypass, won’t pass signal, or doesn’t change the sound? Are you using batteries or a powersupply? and the patch cable between the two is a Tip-Sleeve (one black band), not a Tip-Ring-Sleeve (two black bands), right?
CryabetesParticipantQuote:Question.If I were to run the Cathedral into a mixer, would I be able to use it for vocals and guitar? If so, how would I do that?
No, not without a bit of bleedthrough – the Cathedral isn’t strictly stereo, it preserves a bit of a center image. If you’re okay with the bleedthrough (say, playing acoustic and singing and going into a PA system rather than an amp), you’d plug the cathedrals input to the 802’s “effects send” jack, and plug the output of the pedal to an empty channel. The volume to the cathedral is now the “effects send” knobs on your mixer. With this setup, you’ll also want to run the reverb without any dry signal – the mixer is taking care of your dry signal.

CryabetesParticipantwell it’s not super effect laden guitar – it’s acoustic so generally reverbs and tremolos and non-intrusive effects – but there are synths and beats; this is my band. cd drops friday and this kind of seems like it’d be up your alley.

CryabetesParticipantthere probably are EHX pedals you can use for various horn sounds [not the least the HOG] but on a synth, 95% of making a ‘brass’ voice is just an ADSR envelope on the filter. EHX makes these already.
CryabetesParticipantand they were recorded at 44.1k bitrate?
