Marshall Amps/Gospel Radio

3/24/1998 8:57 AM
Ted Breaux	Marshall Amps/Gospel Radio Ok gearheads, the problem of the day: I recently saved a heavily (and stupidly) modded '69 Marshall Super Trem 100W. I chose to rewire the entire amp according to the nice JTM 100 plexi schematic at the top of p204 in the doyle book. The amp sounds great. There is one problem however......as soon as I plug in the footswitch for the intention of operating the tremolo (Channel 2), I get this Gospel radio station coming in loud and clear. It matters not whether the trem is in operation or not, but as soon as the switch is plugged in and I turn up the volume of Channel 2, I hear demons being cast out, poisonous snakes being handled.....everything. I hope this is a good omen, but in the meantime, I would gladly entertain any suggestions or hints before I dive back in to it! Thanks! Ted
