MF 101 : Random and annoying buzz

aboulafia · Post by **aboulafia** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 10:38 am

Hello, I own several MF and my LowPass filter (1 year old) is often buzzing a lot... I've tried switching the power adapter, changing cables, tried on several power networks, even alone without anything else in the chain : no way it's still buzzing randomly

Any idea ?

try a different input source maybe? otherwise, contact moog support, sounds like something needs to be repaired.

Random noises can be caused by electrical transients that cannot be eliminated except by changing physical locations.

If you have tried it on many different power grids, ie more than 5 km apart and experience the same thing it is probably the unit. Try moving the unit around, away from the power supply.

I have a similar issue with a few different pedals in my house. I tune my guitar to it now, free tuner!!

In fact, the problem occurred in two places (two apartments located in different cities) but now does not occurs when in the practice box (I don't know the right word for that, a room you rent for few hours with all gears needed to make music)...

So far, I only hope it will not happen to much on stage...

i only use my 101 for treating tape or audio (rarely live) but when it hisses i wrap tin foil around it. seriously. it works.
