alhbass Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi. I have an EHX Bass Balls pedal (Nano version). It's a bit of a silly effect, but I like it. Occasionally. However, mine has recently taken to bahving oddly. When the effect is engaged, if I tap on the pedal casing, the tapping sound is amplified very distinctly through my rig. Odd, no? I mean, it basically seems to be behaving like a microphone. What's going on? The pedal is basically working ok otherwise, as long as I use battery power. It now wont work on mains tho - the bypass works, but when I switch on the effect the sound goes dead. Would welcome your advice.... Cheers.

Mr. Foxen Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Probably right. Likely something has come loose and is being microphonic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried it with a few different cables, though I can see that wouldn't help particularly if it's a problem inside the box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
