I had same problem, so i just don't my guitar on it, instead spending a lot of time figuring it out, i plug my guitar wayto the mixer. I have better control over the setting that way too. hope that helps.

Hi there! First I would put my adjustments to about 12:00 on the Vocalist 3, make sure you have the volume for out put on the top right side of Vocalist 3 and set low or off, adjust your guitar amp like you regularly would and your PA to the volume you like when singing. I do not know what amp or PA or Guitar you have, I would check your guitar through your amp and see if the feed back or radio sound could come from your guitar your amp. Try your mics through the PA to see if you get the feed back or radio pickup through your mic or PA. When I was young I got Radio sound from my guitar and amp. I found that if I had my pedals and guitar to close to the amp I would have this problem. So try moving your pedals away from your amp and guitar away from amp, also make sure your PA is fair away from every thing your PA should be on the side and in front of you. I some time get Feed back and radio sound do to being to close to everything. Now that you have check every thing you have you amp for guitar set at volume, your PA and mic set at the volume and you are at a good distance from each other, try your Vocalist 3 with the out put volume low, put only the effects you want our need on the Vocalist 3, the out put on the Vocalist 3 top right sound be set very low because your guitar amp your PA are set to the level you want to here. Last but most important is make sure every thing is grounded if not you will have all kinds of problems. Good luck with your Vocalist 3 keep on jamming. One last note, u-tube has all kinds of demos you can check out on setting , etc. Just type in Vocalist 3 and what you're looking for. Good luck. John

Hello Dale, don't forget about the volume control on the back of the unit. Also, switching the polarity might help on the buzzing sound. Hope this helps.

Dale, there are two possibilities. On the back of the unit there is a ground lift button. Try pushing that. Also, make sure your guitar level on the face of the unit is set to at least mid point. If that doesn't work, you'll need to send it for repair. I've had my Live 3 for over a year, and it just stopped working in the middle of a gig. Hopefully when I get it back, all problems are solved. Other than that, I think the sound and voice control are great.

I don't know if it will help or not, but I had to try various settings on all the dials/knobs on the harmonizer, as well as on my amp, till I could get a decent sound, but I finally did. Then, I marked, with fingernail polish, every single setting, because of even one of them got changed slightly, it threw everything off. I should also tell you that I have a second guitar that I use tried to use it with, and it just WILL NOT adjust - cannot get a decent sound with that one. Good luck to you - hope it works out.

If you're using the guitar thru then you don't want any guitar in the digitech mix. Turn the knob marked guitar off. Mic input knob on the back of digitech set at about 10:00 to 11:00. I have 2 of these: one for my guitar setup & one for my piano setup using the guitar thru for both. No noise in either setup. Try another amp or dirctly into a PA system.

I'm not sure this is going to help you very much because I've only used the Vocalist 3 thru a PA in an acoustic setting. No problems of any kind when used this way and it sounds amazing!

Hi Cathlyn,These headphones have two "modes". Try doing this:1) remove the ear padding, it's only attached by magnets, so just pull it off.2) you will see a felt cover over the driver with a Marshall logo on the bottom. Remove this. This felt is like a physical equalizer to help reduce highs and boost lows... Get rid of it and your sound will regain it's sharpness.3) put the earpiece back on.Let me know if this helps.Mitch

Well, maxing the volume on the ipod and then adjusting your speaker settings (bass/treble) was what I was going to recommend. I had a problem with this with a prior aux cord (unfortunately, I could not get it to go away and had to replace it). I found if I rotated the wire, there was one spot that it was decreased, so I attributed it to a faulty cord. I have zero buzzing at all. Is the ipod newer or older? My older nano seemed especially troublesome with the aux cords while my newer ones are a-okay. If that is the issue, then there may not be a good solution. Good luck.

This amp has a hum which you can not eliminate. I my opinion the hum out weights the pre-sets.I was not happy with it, so I returned it.

Whenever you get that dreaded hum, be sure to check your ground connections.Could be something as simple as trying out a new instrument cable.I've even had some brand new cables with an open ground.You may have to re-solder the ends.

Shouldn't be the board, do you have a noise reducer? If your only getting from the board though then maybe one of the cords are flawed. Or another pedal on the board may be causing the buzz. Since buzz usually indicates a wire not grounded correctly somewhere. Not sottered right.

This doesn't sound good with anything, in my not-so-humble opinion. A lot of excess distortion, unnecessary static and crackling. Tough to find a reasonably priced effects pedal like this that doesn't fill dead air with static. Was hoping that finally someone did it with this device, i was wrong! I use garage band now with all their effects, some of them are very clean. I returned this device immediately. :(

this amp distorted quite a bit with 60 ohm AKG 702 headphones at only medium high volume. this is all i know. there was allot of treble and base produced at all times by this amp.

I found the cables to be just fine, if you are a gear head you can put a multi meter on the cables and test for ohms " resistance " on the positive tip and the ground sheath to test you should find zero or very little resistance. that's where the buzzing would come from if it were from the cables I found the use of a power supply 9vlt. for pedals to have a better clarity than using batteries for the effects pedals.. hope this helps you buzzing from an amp sucks....

Mine was pretty well set up. A week ago however, I noticed the High E, 3rd Fret was buzzing and not staying in tune. Took it to local guy and he adjusted the truss rod. All good now.

Its possibly the voice coils . I bought the speaker and sold it. It wasn't a good speaker

I connected two amps to it and it could not handle it. Go with a better eq. Clarion EQS746 1/2 DIN Graphic Equalizer with Built-in Crossover this is a better option.

Are you using a wall power supply or battery? The power supply could be injecting a 60 Hz hum. Try a battery and no power supply. If there is no hum, replace the power supply. If there is still hum, check your cables, switches & pots in your guitar and then your amp. Still hum after all that, the pedal is probably bad.

there is some static noise yes..as with many amps...but if it is minimal when playing..you are good. If not, I would contact the seller.

I didn't like the volume switch, and they have it going off a fuse, to the amp then grounded and battery. Yes, twice I was left to sit because of this. Even when nothing is plugged into the USB.
1045762
Nah man. I looked something up like that before. Its either your wiring in your house or you need to get your amp checked. Mine kinda makes a sound like that on OD2 on almost full gain and volume when my guitar is plugged in though. So check the wiring or you amp if nothing is plugged in and making that noise. Hope this helps.

That box already has a 3.5 kHz crossover to keep the lows out of the tweeter. Maybe it has failed? How much power are you putting to it?
