    Why is my Pedulla Musical Instrument causing distortion when played through amp?
    • S
      Sheryl BensonAug 17, 2025
      If your Pedulla Musical Instrument produces distortion when played through an amp, the cause may be low battery voltage, in which case you should replace the battery. Alternatively, the TBIBT bass or treble controls might be adjusted too high, overdriving the preamp or amplifier; try lowering the boost. Finally, the bass preamp could be overdriving the preamp or amplifier, so you should lower the input gain of the amplifier.

    Why doesn't my Pedulla Musical Instrument play in tune in upper registers?
    • B
      bbaileyAug 25, 2025
      If your Pedulla Musical Instrument doesn't play in tune in the upper registers, old strings may not intonate correctly, so replace the strings. The neck may also have too much forward bow, raising the strings and causing notes to intonate sharp, so adjust the neck. Finally, the intonation may need adjustment at the bridge, so reintonate the instrument.

    Why do notes sound hollow above the 12th fret on my Pedulla Musical Instrument?
    • A
      angelperryAug 27, 2025
      If notes played above the 12th fret on your Pedulla Musical Instrument have a hollow or out-of-phase sound, the pickups, most likely the neck pickup, are adjusted too high, causing magnetic pull on the string and producing a 'wolf tone'. Lower the pickups slightly to resolve this.
