Hey guys,
I recently connected my "Dunlop Cry Baby" Wah Pedal to my amp and it sounds awful. sad.gif It is buzzing all the time and I don´t know why.
Anybody got an idea?

Cheers,
Tolek

All cables plugged in fully? You should expect a bit of a hiss especially with the pedal fully forward. Is it like buzzing when you turn on an amp without a guitar plugged in?

The problem is solved. laugh.gif Before opening this topic, I changed the cable between guitar and pedal, but now I changed the cable linking amp and pedal. It´s clean. smile.gif My cable is broke... I barely used it. huh.gif It doesn´t matter anymore.

Thanks for answering annway, Matt. smile.gif

A crybaby does generate alot of noise. Make sure all powercables are seperated from signalcables, etc.
I used to have alot of noise too, until I seperated my signalcables from everything else.
Also make sure they're not coiled together, as they will work as an antenna.

Also, they should be seperated from all electronic gear, as they in general produce alot of noise, which is induced to the signal cables.
