| Keys and volume pedal question
Sign in to disble this ad
I have a little Casio CTK-700 keyboard that our band uses for synth-string sounds on one of our songs. Last night at our rehearsal we connected up the keyboard to our PA system, and I placed a cheap Bespeco volume pedal along the way, in order to get a "swelling" sound. Instead what happened was that every time I depressed the volume pedal, I'd get this loud scratchy sound and the sound would cut out at points along its travel. Yet when I had the pedal in my bass' pedal train it worked just fine. And a couple of years ago I replaced the pot in it with a 250k audio pot. So what can we do? Do we need to get a better quality volume pedal? Is it "the nature of the beast" with cheap keyboards? Can anything be done?
