what would cause a split second loss of sound , at the time i was running two od's , and a comp pedal. my amp is a mazerati 1x12 combo , this has never happened before , and the night before i insatalled a weber coppertop ss rectifier , i only mention this because it's the only change ive made in my rig , and this has never happened before hand. ive checked all my george l cables from the guitar to the amp , no shorts or breaks.

What kind of cord are you using between your guitar and the pedal board? I once had the exact same thing happen, and it turned out that the cable had a specific design feature that enabled this exact behavior.

it's a monster cable , thing is about the size of a jumper cable , paid good money for , supposed to be top of the line , i dunno , it does brag of a lot more material used to make it than the average cord , or even a george l for that matter.

That's not likely it then. I had an incident with a Planet Waves - those plugs with the springs built in. The spring is supposed to make sure contact is maintained, but in my case it caused a discontinuity for a moment. Since you aren't using those, it must be something else. No other ideas here...

well thank's for the reply anyway , i'll keep checking , and guessing , i don't see why , but i wonder if im just slamming the amp to hard at that split second , and something is reacting in a negative way just for a half second? both times it happened it was right at the end of a sustained note , you know one of them deal's where you squeeze all you can out of one for grin's and giggles , could be a wierd comp thing , im using the new barber tone press , and it's only happened with it on. not saying that's what it is , just wondering.

Oh yeah, take any variables out of the equation. Play it with just the guitar and see if it ever does it again.

Sounds a bit like a noise gate issue I had once. I had some rack effects that had built-in noise gate in the pre-sets. At the end of a long, sustained note with distortion, the gate would cut in and abruptly silence the sound. Eventually, I figured out how to get rid of (or tweak) the noise gate so that didn't happen anymore. Don't know if any of your effects might have something like that.
Cheers, Blair
