EBS Multicomp Cell Phone Interference

[JoshGrider]

Anybody get interference from their compressors when a cell phone is near?

Spent hours trying to figure out why I would get weird fuzz and beeping or clicking while playing. Broke down my entire board. Narrowed it down to my compressor (EBS Multicomp) and it still happened completely randomly until I realized it only did it when my phone was in my pocket. Anytime a phone gets within 3 feet of the compressor it freaks out. Tried literally everything, power supplies, rooms, cables, basses, different phones.

I've experienced this a bit. I have a guitar that picks up EMP like crazy. Three different people have checked the wiring. It is what it is. Regarding compressors, I had this with a Keeley Bassist. I only figured out after I returned the pedal that I could address the EMP I was hearing (while playing the aforementioned guitar, which had been tuned down to stupid) by engaging the low pass filter on my amp. So try that first.
