Mexican music coming through my amp

[rupe]

Cool I used to have a Vox wah (actually I still have it somewhere) that periodically managed to pick up Pittsburgh Pirate games

a mexican attack attack? damn, glad i did not click the link then

as for the phaser - it does it on all amplifiers you own? phasers have a unity gain of 1 where internal feedback is allowed in order to get the desired effect. could be how the guitar is wired on top of the phaser design which is the only pedal allowing the AM frequency to pass into the amplifier at a lower buffered frequency which you will hear regardless of the grid's resistor value.

next time it happens unplug the phaser and see if it goes away, or turn the phaser effect down and see if goes away. id also check your guitar's wiring just to make sure.

That's the weird thing. The music only came through the Dragon, no other amp. I switched guitars 3 times and still there. Also the Phaser was not on, I also have it outside the signal chain through a Japanese apartment true bypass box from Keeley. When I unpluged the Phaser it went away. The other weird thing is I have never had this problem until I moved the amp from sitting on top of my Engl to sitting on top off my VHT. I thought it may be picking up something in that position that it wasn't before. So, I moved it again and it was still jammin the Mexi tunes. Eliminating the Phaser was the only thing I found to stop the noise. As I said earlier I tried multiple cables as well.

Back around the late 90s' early 2000s' my other guitar players Triple Rectifier would pick up all kinds of shit, like a short wave radio, all kinds of foreign language shit.
Fast forward 10-12 years, we're jammin and I'm playing my Tremoverb(never got any noise) and I suggest we switch amps and guitars. He plugs my guitar into my amp and we hear radio free europe We all cracked up...
Weird how he was playing a JVM with no "radio" and my TOV had no noise but as soon as we switched my Mesa was noisy as hell with the soccer games broadcast.

We still haven't figured that shit out.

Just be glad it didn't sound like this:

not to like go off subject, but what the fuk was that

That was horrible crap

Thanks Jerry! Now I can charge triple.

Man, those little guys will hide anywhere.

Did not bother pluging the Phaser back in today, rarely use it anyway.

Is that what they call "Crabcore"?

This very thing happened to me when I was in 10th grade playing my first "real" show in front of a couple thousand people. Mexican AM radio started playing through my Carvin MTS half-stack. Embarrassing and kinda funny too.

Reminds me of Nigel Tufnel doing his schtick with Spinal Tap at the navel base...

Playing some metal yesterday and quit for a second to hear some la cuca ra cha coming through my Dragon. WTF? change from high gain to low and clean then it goes away. I amrunning an Egnater head switcher so I can play 4 heads without making cable changes. So, this is no easy task narrowing it down without disconnecting everyfrickinthing. First I try speaker cables then intrument cable with no change. I disconnect the amp from everything (headswitcher, pedal board) and it operates fine. Eventually narrow it down to something on the pedal board. After disconnecting everything one at a time I find it is my Maxon Phaser causing the problem. Wierd thing is that this pedal will not power up from my filtered power brick thing, it requires a straight nine volt supply from a different source. WTF is wrong with this thing?......................................anyone want to buy a Maxon Phaser? As a bonus you will recieve free Mexican tunes in the background.

A .01uf capacitor from the ground lug on your input jack to the closest point on your chassis should do the trick to get rid of the radio signal. Ceramic cap is fine for this application and should easily found at radio shack, like this:

A little pricey but will work. I'd offer to mail you one but it would cost way more than radio shack....Post is a killer here in Canada...
Let us know if this solves your issue.

I hate it when that stuff happens when the amp is not plugged into the wall

I think that person should have listened to the message. There are no coincidences.
