Radio signals that will not go away from my NS1          Carvin.com BBS Forum Index » Carvin MIDI Synth Guitars View previous topic :: View next topic   Jump to Bottom of Page   Radio signals that will not go away from my NS1  Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 2:43 am   Message   WRHLondon Newbie Joined: 10 Apr 2009 Posts: 10 I received my new NS1 in March and it picks up a radio station every time I play. I can EQ it out with a lot of fiddling, but that takes time. I returned it to the company for them to replace the electronics but since I live in Canada it spent over a month in transit, and when I finally got it back the problem was still there. I am in touch with the guitar technicians who are researching the problem further but I would find it really helpful to get some of your suggestions as to what to do. Here is the situation. 1.I know it is not the Carvin amp or the cord connecting it to the amp. The problem exists even when I use another amp on another cord. 2.I know it is not the location of the guitar. I took it to a friends apartment in another neighbourhood (yeah, I spell it with a "U", remember I'm Canadian eh ) and the problem was still there 3.I tried tech supports' advice and used a converter to make the three prong plug a two-prong one to avoid a grounding issue. No luck. 4.I don't play near electronic equipment, furnaces, or florescent lights as was suggested as a possible source of the problem. Nor do we live near a radio station, or a tower. 5.The station gets much louder suddenly when I set the mid.cut boost and mid sweep controls So, any thoughts? I really hadn't planned to be playing along to E-Z listening! Thanks!

Is the guitar signal through the GK cable clean ? Have you tried the guitar directly in a "Board" with headphones? re: Radio signals that will not go away from my NS1  Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 12:45 am   Message   WRHLondon Newbie Joined: 10 Apr 2009 Posts: 10 Thanks for the suggestion about the GK. No, I haven't tried that yet. I've been holding off buying synth equipment until I got this problem solved. What would trying this show me? re: Radio signals that will not go away from my NS1  Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 7:24 pm   Message   advdir Director of Advertising & Artist Relations Joined: 17 Jan 2007 Posts: 173 Location: SAN DIEGO Just out of curiosity, did you find out which radio station you are hearing and where the transmitter is located and how powerful the transmission is? Every bit of info helps. re: Radio signals that will not go away from my NS1  Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 4:57 pm   Message   WRHLondon Newbie Joined: 10 Apr 2009 Posts: 10 Good idea, I'll see if I can figure it out.

With a GK cable ;it could pinpoint the problem to the output jacks of the guitar. With a board & headphones ; it would eleminate the possibility of being a guitar amp problem.        Carvin.com BBS Forum Index » Carvin MIDI Synth Guitars Page 1 of 1 Top of Page All times are GMT - 5 Hours View previous topic :: View next topic Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Jump to: Select a forum Off-Topic----------------AnnouncementsFAQCarvin Photo GalleryWebsite Suggestions Carvin Products----------------Carvin GuitarsCarvin MIDI Synth GuitarsCarvin BassesCarvin Guitar AmplifiersCarvin Bass AmplifiersCarvin Pro AudioTech TalkBuilder's ForumProduct Suggestions Other Carvin Discussion----------------Share Your Carvin-Made MusicPro PlayersCarvinite Gatherings Non-Carvin Gear----------------Non-Carvin Gear  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum The views and opinions expressed on the Carvin Forums are solely the responsibility of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Carvin Corporation.
