Followup to my Mod50 head vibration/buzzing problem...

[RockStarNick]

So if you recall, a while back, I was having a "problem" with my Mod50 making a crazy vibrating, buzzing noise. It was coming from inside, whenever I had the head on top of the cab, and played a palm muted A chord.

Well, before I went and ripped the head apart, I've always noticed that the feet for the Mod50 are a very dense, very hard rubber. Feels more like a skateboard wheel, rather than a soft cushiony kind of foot.

Anyways, I bought a new set of rubber feet that are "squishier" for lack of a better work. Installed them on the head AND cab. (you'll need a square head bit to do this, BTW...)

And the result? No more vibration/buzz. Problem solved.

I guess the cab was SO resonant, and the hard rubber feet were transferring alot of that particular resonant frequency to the head. Strange... but its all good now.

Yo man, I have the same issue. Where did you get the "squishy" feet??

These are the exact feet that I got for the head and cab.

Very, very nice stuff. Nice and grippy...

I also prefer these to the regular feet. Really nice.

Just ordered a set for my head. Thanks for the link. Don't need them for the cab as I have the good casters, which I like much better than the rubber feet. The less I have to carry it, the better.

I'll keep that link saved just in case I have a similar situation on the future. Thanks for sharing.

Gonna get a pair for the wife. She's always making noise from the head too.

This is the exteme in cork-sniffing isn't it...

"My rubber feet have a squishier durometer than the stock feet, it allows the head to resonante more freely, etc, etc..."

I think you want cement shoes, not rubber feet D-Frats.

 

[Kiteboarder]

Cement shoes?? So she can stay in one place? Where can I buy a pair of those? Size 9 - My wife's got big Wiley Coyote feet! Hahaha. Yeah, I've been watching That 70's Show, if any of you guys can recall that quote.

I don't know Nick, I just put the feet on and I can swear the tone is better.........I think parts express sold me some NOS feet........
