Hmmmm.... I'm trying to rack my brains with this. I'm 99.9% sure I've heard of this problem before, on another message board I'm part of. I have a funny feeling that it's something like a bad diode or a bad capacitor or something like that, but I can't quite remember exactly. I'll see if i can find it though.

At a guess, without having a proper listen/look at it, it could be a number of issues, such as the jacks, the power filtering section etc etc. Philllll's suggestion to try it with just a battery, not via the powersupply would actually help with figuring out what the problem might be. Try just running Guitar > Phase90 (powered by battery) > fairly clean setting on amp and let us know what happens then.

also, fyi, there is a shitstrom of threads about making mansion replicas on this board. If I was going to take the piss out of anything, it would be that you didn't really look hard enough. Look at anything in the general luthiery thread, or people's specific threads on their manson replica. In conclusion, if you used search and had some actual proper questions and read a few posts, green glitter sounds pretty cool actually. Not using search and reading, it's not a kaoss pad you put into guitars, it's an xy midi controller, and taking the piss out of someone looks like this:

Maybe you should actually think about the point people are trying to make before you assume we're calling you a twat. If i was going to call you a twat, I'd call you a twat. What I was saying is that there's no point in modding a guitar to bits if your playing/recording/whatever sucks. The whole point of modding something is to take something you like, and adjust it to what you need. Putting in superfluous stuff like xy pads and whatever is pointless UNLESS you absolutely need to be able to use it from the guitar. Is the difference in milliseconds between touching it on your guitar, and on a proper midi controller beside where you're playing going to crucially affect the outcome of the song? I'd like to see that. Modding should be a thing of necessity, and not just "because you can." For example, I have a peavey rotor ex. I never ever liked any pickup I had in the neck position, so I got rid of it. With the pickup I had in the bridge, it was all I really needed, however, for playing certain controls, I needed a tone somewhere between a bridge humbucker and a single-coil in the neck, so I put in a coil-split control for the bridge, and it was perfect. A simple pot did it, although if I wanted to, I could have done it with a backlit touch-sensitive circular pot similar to a classic ipod wheel. /thread

"OH WOW that guy totally has a manson!!! Pity his playing sucks sweaty diseased ass...." just sayin. If your playing is awesome, nobody will give a fuck what guitar you have. BUT, if your playing is fucking awful, your fancy shiny fake manson wont matter at all.

only thing I'm not sure about (so far) is whether it should be slightly faster.

16 BIT COLO(U)RS MAKE YOU CRYSTAL CASTLES!!! actually, that's a seriously neat little solution to making a stand. I'd be tempted to look into making something like that, but I've no space in my room, but I might be getting one of the spare rooms in the next few months to turn into a maankaev. I'd sort something out then.

IKEA KÜSTOM GORM MDF DECK STÄND is trufax?
-
oh then it's probably ok. Most of it would be cut/sanded/whatever else where and then brought into studio. Mind you, there was lots of things like spraymount, paints and glues always being used. you kinda get used to it.

I didn't know this. hahaha! That means the last 6 years of my life in architecture school have just been an asbestos fest hahaha!

qft.

Thought I'd have a crack at using a vocoder. [soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/twicx/laissez-faire-wip[/soundcloud] Serious WIP, but I'm liking it so far.... i think.

if you want one that's not going to move anywhere, go for it. They don't look too portable. I've seen magma stands in a tonne of nightclubs and they're solid as a rock. Anything on them isn't going anywhere. If you're a dj playing clubs and you give more of a fuck about what your gear looks like than the music you're playing, sorry to be the barer of bad news, but you're in the wrong industry.

I've heard good things about Magma stands. One of my very close friends has one and it's solid as a rock.
