Wasn't the amp, cab making strange noises...

[Mizati20]

Damnit.... didn't mean to start a shit-storm... are the Mills guys cool enough to help me out even though I didn't get the cab directly from him? I mean, I thought Diezel was the only company that did that

Maybe I should give them a call... I'll give it a shot and report back, actually, I think I'll just take the back off right now and see if I can find anything, I'll post my findings...

What did you expect? When you are using cheapo junk cabs with your VH4, it's only a matter of time.

Guys........please,

there are a lot of good cabs available and I want to defend Dave.
Of course he made some advertisement on the wrong forum but
there happend also some issues on the USA Diezel cabs. I remember
wrong wiring from a former distributor for example.

Peace,

Peter

You shouldn't need to call anybody to help fix this issue. Just open the cab up, tighten every screw down (don't overdo it), then seal it back up and tighten all the other screws on the outside down. If the cab is still making noises then go from there. If the noise is a metallic sound, then it's most likely a washer or piece of metal that's vibrating. Also, make sure it's not something else in the room that's near the speaker which is making noise.

If the cab has casters, check those as well.

I found out it's my fucking guitars It's really strange, and I don't know what the deal is... like I said it's a really faint noise, something that I just picked up on...

On a side note, I noticed that the board that all the speakers are screwed to on the inside of my cab had come loose at one of the corners... so I went to Lowes and got some more heavy duty screws, and completely re-seated every single screw on the cab, I gotta say, compare to my Mesa cab, the Mills construction really is top quality... however, i was under the impression these cabs had some type of foam in them or something, when I opened it up there was nothing, just the "afterburner" baffle that they advertise, which is really just a 1x2 piece of wood with some holes in it LoL...

I guess I'd be more upset if I bought the cab, but I traded for my old Mesa cab, and it sounds fucking fantastic, so I can't complain at all, the only two gripes I have with the cab are compare to my Mesa casters, the casters on my Mills are like toys, and the cab is just ridiculously big and heavy... and I'm starting to get the itch to have a matching cab, if for any other reason then I know the Diezel cabs are a bit smaller/lighter... anyhow, at least I completely ruled out the sound from my essential gear, I'll figure the guitar thing out later... cheers!

I've thinked about it from the first post because in the past the same happened to me.
Maybe a worn nut or a bridge problem..so check the guitar unplugged to find the problem;
for example not all frets buzzing is amplified by the pickups but strange ringings on open strings for sure they will.

Wich guitar is it?



P.s. 3d title to re-re-edit.

It's both my guitars, the funny thing is, my lower tuned guitars make the same noise but in a lower sounding pitch LoL... I'll figure it out, I'd rather it by my guitars then my head or cabs to be honest, and I have a new guitar showing up Thursday so I'll have some parts to swap out if necessary to troubleshoot...
