Need a little bit of TB help.
Anyways, I had a band practice on Sunday afternoon, my set-up was sounding great. Everything sounded perfect, amp, pedal, bass, it gave me this nice, crunchy tone.
I use a Fender P-Special (active), an Ibanez Soundwave 115 combo, a Zoom 506 II and Ibanez Phat Head distortions.
I keep the Ibanez on clean distortion, but on attack one, because that gives me the perfect tone I'm looking for.
Anyways, back to story. Practice over, I come home, start unloading all my stuff. As I'm taking my amp up the stairs, I trip and have to set it down rather heavily. I didn't exactly drop it very high, maybe from about two inches off the ground. Don't have time to plug it in and make sure it's fine, I had to get off to church.
Wake up Monday morning, plug it in, turn on my pedals and much to my dismay, my tone now sounds like a static-like fart, especially on my low C string, which had such good tone the day before. When I turn my pedals off, my amp sounds fine, but when I turn distortion back on, the wet fart is there, and no matter what I do, I can't get back to the tone I had the day before.
I've messed around with the EQ, tried different basses, different cables, different orders in the pedals, and nothing changes it. Is this my amp or my pedal that is causing this screw up?
This isn't the first time either of them have screwed up. About a month and a half ago, I took my amp to the shop because it was having buzzing noises, and the tech guy said screws around the speaker came loose, and that he just re tightened them. This isn't the same type of buzzing it was having a month ago, and plus it's only present when distortion is on.
A few weeks ago, my pedal burned out, and I had to take it to the shop. They spent two weeks scratching their head about it, and eventually replaced something in the electronics that fixed the problem.
I keep pictures of my amp and pedal EQ settings in my camera phone, so I set all those to what they normally are; no help. I've heard some people say to change out all the batteries, so I'm going to try that before work today. Anybody have any extra suggestions?
Any help appreciated. I think I gave enough information, but if I didn't, ask and I'll tell.
