Jag_Bassist Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 hi guys. i have just plugged into my oc-2 today. never had a problem with it in the past, now I'm getting a strange distortion happening with the pedal and I'm not sure why. i have been using it with my Moog low pass filter. only thing i can think of if it isn't the pedal, is that i have actually damaged the practise amp I'm using, but it doesn't seem to have the sound when bypassed or using the low pass filter. the speakers not ripped or anything as far as i can see.

xgsjx Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Have you tried the OC2 on it's own (as in it being the only thing between the bass & amp)? My other thought is the "drive" on the moog could be too high (it works even in bypass). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Bassist Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 yeah still the same problem. not run on battery either on a reliable t rex power supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ACA versions can sometimes give you problems when on a 9V regulated PSU, try the pedal on battery power and let us know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Bassist Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 dont have any 9v's handy, seems to only happen when i realllly dig in with my bass ( hum bucker) maybe its that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Bassist Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 when i dont dig in it is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskimoBassist Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Sounds more like it's your amp clipping? Try turning down your bass a little and give it another go. Your OC-2 will be putting out quite a hot signal to deal with - I know I've mashed up my old practice amp by overloading the input stage.

Jag_Bassist Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 maybe it is the amp, i dont know if the amp plays up at quiet levels. ill try it on my tc rig at band practise and let you all know. cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I would try the amp without any effects first, you need to try and isolate the problem. I know moogs start clipping and giving off distortion when I start digging in, but the handy led should let you know what's going on.

Jag_Bassist Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 the problem was my practise amp not the pedal. oops cheers for the help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
