Scratchy

Noises:

Scratchy

noises

can

happen

when

any

electric

guitar

is

used

with

any

wireless

system.

Therefore,

all

Carvirr

transmitters

have

a

factory

installed

capacitor

inside

the

1/4"

plug.

This

capacitor

provides

first

order

filtering

of

RF

signal

from

the

GT

cord

into

the

guitar,

and

eliminates

virtually

all

scratchy

noises.

Should

your

equipment

still

give

you

scratchy

noises,

we

suggest

these

steps

to

eliminate

them:

Make

sure

that

all

guitar

volume

and

tone

pots

are

clean

and

all

contacts

are

solid.

This

is

very

important.

Should

the

problem

continue,

please

contact

the

Carvin's

Helpline

at

1-800-854-2235

for

further

assistance.
