I wasn't sure whether to post this in the effects section or here, but here goes. I just got a Keeley compressor, it seems fine with my Ray, but when I turn it on with the RXES I pick up a faint radio signal. Not bad channel but not quite the sound I am looking for. ;D It disappears when I turn it off. I know someone posted something on here but I don't know if it was effects related.

Nothing.... maybe I should move this over to ask the experts.

My brother was having this issue with his prosonic a while back, seems to have pointed the fault to his dano echo pedal. That dano gets great reception. I have no answers, but i had afunny thing the other night at his place. I was playing my gretsch into the rx, and when i stopped playing i was getting this steady ticking noise coming thru the amp. tick tick tick like a clock. Weird man. I ended up taking my wallet and mobile out of my pockets to get more comfy as the phone was diggin into my hip, and picked up the guit and no tick! I grabbed the phone and put it near the input jack, tick tick tick. Hows that for odd. So much for digital, that phones an old analogue clock!!!

This comes up often enough that I just did about a half hour search of the web for answers. The interesting thing is there isn't a single answer, but a load of general pointers that might help. The main thing that seems to be a common thread is grounding. Make sure your amp is properly grounded; make sure the shields on all your cables are making good contact; and make sure the amp chassis is making good contact with the RF shield in the cabinet. All Z amps have an RF shield in the cab. If the screws that hold the chassis in place get loose, the RF protection might be compromised. So you want to make sure that the screws are snug. As far as your cables are concerned, you might have one that has a poor connection to ground on one end. Switch your cables around or completely out to see if that affects things. And all of us should have one of these: to check that our outlets are properly grounded. Without a good ground our amps can't reject RF as well. I'm sure there are other things out there, but these seem to be the low hanging fruit.

I havehad this problem in the past, not with a Z, but it caused me to dump the whole thing. (I'm not electronically inclined)
