Honey Amp kits sold out
Quote from: smackoj on July 15, 2025, 04:35:58 PMHi friends; A very long time away so apologies. I did a quick cleanup on this Randall RG75D model SS amp. Built in China with one 12" spkr. This amp is almost silent at idle but start playing thru it and it sounds poor with some kind of high freq noise on every note. I checked the speaker wires and there is .25 vdc on them at idle. Is that enough dc to cause a problem? thanks amigosNot by itself.

I opened up the footswitch and everything seems fine in there. I played with the wires a little bit to see if it would change anything and the only thing that changed anything is.......it typically works fine when I hold the footswitch upside down.
That makes no sense.
Do you hold pedal in your hand or put in on the floor? (so floor can push both buttons at the same time)
I know... it's TOTALLY insane. So it was doing it when I held it in my hand. I've since rested it on the desk my amp+cab is on upside down and I just press down whichever side I need.... and it totally works. It TRULY makes no darn sense. It is NOT pushing both at the same time. I make sure of that.
QuoteWhen this issue happens, I also typically lose a lot of power output while playing, but ONLY in the bridge pickup. If I switch to the neck pickup, I get power back. That makes even less sense..
I know. I've never come across anything like this. I got all weird and started swapping guitars thinking it was an issue with my guitar. Nope same issue with other guitars.
-QuoteTried using another 2 switch footswitch I have that goes to a Peavey classic 20MH (this works... but it ends up having the same issue, which leads me to believe it's the amp).I am at work and about to leave. I'll try this as soon as I can, but I have family over. So it may be a few days unless I can manage to find time to do this while they're here. Thank you for your time. I'll come back with results one way or the other.
-Swapped some cables around, and tried different guitars.
For testing, plug a spare TRS/"stereo" plug in theb Fsw jack.
Cover open, pins visible.
Solder a short (1" to 2") piece of wire to plug ground terminal.
Then touch either of free pins (to simulate temporary switch) with the free end ... what happens?
Repeat test but now soldering wire end to a pin or another to simulate a latching switch.
This way you are testing using a bare minimum "pedal equivalent" device, very simple and easy to understand, which depends on nothing else.
Post results.
