I know some of you have Fernandes sustainers fitted
to your guitars, so was wondering if you could help me out , off list if
ness.
I recently bought a fernandes sustainer kit to
install it on my baritone guitar.
I had it installed by a guitar technician here, but
im sure something is wrong. It squeals the whole time, even though i have
adjusted the trimpots as directed (and tried extreme settings on these to TRY to
eliminate the sound).
I realise that having it on a baritone is somewhat
different to normal, and that this may affect its operation, but as the high
strings on a baritone are roughly equivlent to the middle strings on a regular
guitar i thought at least THEY would work. Indeed I CAN get some operation on
the high strings, but only by using lots of distortion, and THEN i am
getting an effect like the "harmonic" setting sould be.
When I try the "harmonic " setting I get just
intense high pitched squealing, not exactly feedback but more like a radio
tuning in... this sound is continuous and cannot be eliminated by using the
strength control OR the trimpots.
I do know what it SHOULD be like, as I have tried a
fernandes guitar in the past, then it was more of the "ebow sound" this is ONLY
uncontrolled piercing NOISE!!! (the merzbow side of me LIKES it, but the fripp
side of me doesnt!!!)
I have searched on the web for people with similar
problems, but can only find glowing reviews, so im sure something is
up!!
Is it simply wired incorrectly (in which case I
will return it to the technician to fix) , or something else.. can you give me
something to try??? HELP!!!! I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 6457 spam emails to date. Paying users do not have this message in their emails. Try SPAMfighter for free now! |
