Janglebox and background noise

Post by akpasta »

Hey all,

I figured this might be a good board to ask since so many of you have experience with jangle box pedals. I've been using the JB Nano with my 360/12 and I love it. My preferred settings are Gain at 12 and Attack at 3, treble booster ON always! So much jangle. One thing I notice though is that it seems very susceptible to frequency noise from radio or cell phone waves, specifically when you're not playing. I pretty much have to keep my phone far away from it, or turn it to airplane mode, and occasionally it picks up radio waves. Also at my practice space I can't use a one-spot for power either, I have to run the thing on batteries.

I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem and had any ideas about fixing it. Is this perhaps why the Jangle Box company made a noise gate they sell us to fix the problem caused by their compression pedal? (lolol)

Thanks!

That's a pretty standard issue with lots of gear, I don't see it as a JBox issue.
