A-199 Spring Reverb Problem

2009-01-19 by aesoteric@talk21.com

Hey all,

My Doepfer A-199 spring module has suddenly started distorting. I've
only had it two weeks, and I just got a lovely Accutronics 4 spring tray
for it that sounds amazing. Then today, it sounded different, like the
reverb signal was going through a fuzz pedal - so I backed the level
off, and it kept happening, so I hooked up the original Belton tray, and
the problem persisted. The dry signal going to it is fine, and turning
the mix control fully left gives a normal dry signal. All I could think
was that I had tugged the RCA cable inside the case and something had
come loose - but everything looks fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm gutted, I finally get the spring
sound of my dreams, and now its gone again... :help:

Any help gratefully received. I'll post this on the Doefper forum too,
just in case.

Cheers,
TJ
