What the hell is French radio doing coming through my amp?!?!
It only arrives when I turn the volume on my Charvel down slightly from full...
Is this an earth fault? With the guitar, or the amp?
I don't speak French. Someone please help...
Mark.

Not sure what the fault is, if that happened to me i'd be in the corner of a room rocking forwards asking the voices to stop! i've only heard of radio signals being pcked up by wireless receivers before.

Your guitar is acting like a very inefficient aerial and the signal is being picked up by the electrics and amplified by the amp.
No amount of shielding and potting will remove the problem of microphony entirely and the same goes for electromagnetic interference.
Turning on a CRT monitor will drown out those wily Frenchmen.

If you did speak French, d'you think they'd be explaining why they're interfering with your amp? :wink:

This happens to me but I get German radio on an old 1975 Marshall SS, all I have to do is leave the Jack plugged in and that’s it I'm learning German lol, there's nothing you can do about it just touch the jack while it's plugged in and it should stop for a while.
My valve stack doesn’t do it though and their next to each other.

As it's German presumably you're getting all the stuff about 'The Fallen Madonna vith ze Big Boobies' ?

Do not be absurd, Smallhousen!

Curiouser and curiouser....
I wonder what the furthest reaching language that can be picked up on an old amplifier?
French is the national language of some African countries, I believe - that means I win unless there are other genuine plaintiffs...

I'm still attempting to calibrate the valves on my amp to pick up Test Match Special but no luck as yet. I think Henry Blofeld with a touch of spring reverb would be superb.

Friend was telling me about getting eastern European radio so I think you can get some way, especially with shortwave transmission.
