I have an Echomax 2000 that produces digital noise such as high pitched whine with repetitive "clicking"(oscillating?) when the effects are used. No noise with effects off(center slot on knob) it also intensifies when the effects gain is turned up. It happens on both echo and slapback...the noise just sounds different. Has anyone experienced this and if so, what component caused it? Any help will be appreciated, 73s...Pluto.

Re: microphone
what's the power source your using for your mobilemax ? have you tried grounding it ? the battery should only cost a couple of bucks to change . IM very Impressed with those mobilemax's !! ....I just sold one recently to a friend , he put it on his 148 GTL and sounds great !! especially when he has it set just right , one of the best echo boxes I've ever had the pleasure of using ,even set made one hell of a diff on sideband as well , very simlar to a noise processor. The 1 I got rid of had like 7 or so different beep tones and a 6 second recorder and a very nice modulation light show. Good Luck to you .

yeah Bear , it sounds like it's picking up your power supply on the way out )-: ......this kind of stuff can be tricky , doesn't sound like the battery though , alls I can really think of is grounding to get rid of the hum or changing to a cleaner regulated power supply , it really doesn't sound like a big deal here Bear , I personally don't care what anyone else thinks here ,but those Mobilemaxs are very nice !! and I don't think they make them anymore ? What mic are you using on it ? and have you tried it with other mic's to see if there was any change ? but grounding is a start .Good luck Bear.
I found the problem, I took the board out (again) and on closer inspection I found cracks around the solder joints, at the slide controll. After resoldering, it works perfect now. I wanted to share this in hopes that it helps anyone that has the same problem. 73's....Pluto.
