Re: Noisy CZ1

thanks for the replies. Could someone tell me which screws to undo to open the CZ1 and adjust this? Is it easy to get to? The diagram in the service manual doesn't make it clear to me.

thanks very much

Usually the 50k pot for the output voltage is set too high resulting in a "gnarly" distortion. I can send the service manual if you don't already have it. There is a copy of it in the CZ1 Yahoo group.

It sounds to me as if loud sound are getting slightly distorted, but in a kind of gnarly way (don't know exactly how to describe it!). This is with the chorus off. I expect some of the analog circuitry might be faulty. Has anyone ever had a problem like this before with the CZ1?
