Feedback, ringing. 
(Guitar NOT plugged 

in.)

 

1. Overdrive and Master 
Volume controls set too high. 

1. Back off Overdrive, Master 
Volume and/or Treble controls 
until ringing stop. 

 

2, Micro phonic tube. 

2. Swap 12AX7 tube in 
modules to find the lowest 
micro phonic tube, and place it 
in the first module. (Seepage 
6.) 

 

3. Too many Hi-Gain modules. 
(two or more) in one channel. 
Remember- the first module is 
the most subject to micro 
phonic ringing. 

3. With two IL-Gain modules in 
one channel, we recommend 
using an "FET" module in the 
first position. If you are 
searching for an "ultra FE-
Gain" situation, (3 EE-Gain 
modules), try the Hot Mod 
mod. We in any of the 
position- With the FE-Gain 
E.Q. module, simply dial out 
the problem frequency on the 
module. 

Feedback, ringing (With guitar 
PLUGGED in.) 

1. Micro phonic pickups. 
Physical position also effects 
this. 

1. Have qualified guitar tech 
"wax pot" your pickups
