TROUBLESHOOTING
• No Sound
– Check battery
– Check 3-way magnetic / piezo switch, and volume pots
• Weak or Distorted Sound
– Check battery
• Won’t Stay In Tune
– Improperly set up vibrato
• Bridge not in the HOMEposition
• Spring size not matched to string gauge
• Balance wheel out of adjustment
– Larger strings installed without filing the nut
– Intonation not set
• Buzzing
– Low action
– Dead strings
– Improper adjustment of truss rod
• Alternate Tunings and Special Strings
– Alternate tunings affect spring strength.
– String sizes
– Special string sets (round wound, heavy bottom, etc.)
• Ground Loops
Sometimes when using two amps, there may be a loud hum when the
guitar is plugged into the second amp. This hum is caused by a ground loop.
This ground loop isn’t the fault of the guitar (or the amps for that matter),
but a result of well-intentioned electrical safety codes. Ground loops
can lurk wherever two pieces of electronic equipment are connected.
