Anyone with the Redacted ii, do you get a pulsating tone when the gain is set to noon and above?
If the Bass knob is set to noon, and gain set to noon, there’s no pulsing noise. But if I turn gain past noon, with bass at noon, then the pulsing noise comes; and vice versa.
Obviously, want to play with Bass boosted.
I’m using the correct 1000mA psu. Using the DI, flipped the switch back and forth. Still pulsing.
Weird thing is that when the gain is set to 9o’clock (where it doesn’t pulsate) and I have the fender VI plugged in, it starts to pulsate when I switch on the bass strangle. (I play neck pickup only, didn’t notice when all 3 switched on).
I mostly play fender jazz, passive, have two and same pulsating happens with both.
Today I switched everything on, but didn’t have a bass plugged in, and it was pulsing with no input. Pulsing stopped when I plugged the bass in, but that’s with the gain set at 9 o’clock.
Anyone else getting this pulsing noise?
edit:
The DI goes directly into the mixer, SSLSiX, and never had this issue before with other DIs including the finally V3.
Settings in photo, the bass is usually set to 3 o’clock (full tilt in photo because I was testing).
That's annoying. Dont have that problem though. I do have transformer isolated power for each of the devices in my home recording setup however.
So my Redacted is on it's own isolated power outlet as well as my pedals and IR loader box.
I have had issues with it clipping a bit nastily for the first 10 15 minutes if the mids or treble are boosted heavily, but my bass has TONS of output and eventually it seems to smooth out... I dunno.
Also, if you get a chance try rolling some tubes thru it. It's fun to see what works. I currently have a Mullard cv4024 in v1 and v3 and an Ei longplate 12ax7 in v2. So far this is my favorite lineup, but I have a GE 5751 I'm looking to pop into v1 to try out.
It's a really phat and tubey sound to be sure , and has more gain then I'll likely ever need , hence the Cv4024's.
Good luck troubleshooting!
