Problems with the HummingBird V3

Post by agustin77 »

Hi Folks, I just bought a Hummingbird v3 the condition is excellent but when I engage the pedal it just takes all the radio stations around me, I tried in different places and with different cables, amps, etc. Do you know what can I do? I live in South america so it s very expensive to send it to EQD.

Thanks!

What power supply are you using, and what guitar and pickups?

I have had the same problem. Power by a Voodoo lab adapter. Isolated outputs etc. Doesnt matter which guitar I use, although I only use singlecoils.

I think it's partly the circuit. The pedal it's based on, the Vox Repeat Percussion, can be very prone to noise.

augustin77, you should e-mail EQD if you haven't done so already. They'll help you sort it out.
