Common Problems
It distorts.
- No it doesn't! Distortion inside the compressor is virtually impossible;
however it is possible that the input amplifier is overcooking; turn down the
COMPRESSION control and readjust.
- Too much EQ can sometimes sound like distortion.
I can't make the compression gentle enough!
- It takes practice. The setting of the COMPRESSION control is quite
critical.
- Select a preset that is more anticlockwise, i.e. 'Soft Meek'
I have hum
- When you are using the Fathead with other amplifiers and studio
equipment, you may have a hum caused by 'double earthing'. To fix this,
press in the ground lift switch on the rear panel. BE SURE THAT AT
LEAST ONE MAJOR PART OF YOUR RIG IS EARTHED usually it is
best to have your amplifier or mixing desk earthed. Having an unearthed
system is DANGEROUS! But running parts of a system without earthing
improves noise performance.
- Are you recording in front of a computer screen? Instruments often pick
up noise from CRT displays.
