Question * Running: Fender Lite Ash Strat ($650) on Fender G-Dec Amp ($300)
*PICKUPS: 3 Seymour Duncan Humbucking Pickups
*Standard Whammy Bar
Hi, When I run my electric guitar on my G-dec amp with a heavier distortion and I get a buzzing in the backround (sometimes even light distortion)I ONLY GET THE BUZZING ON WHEN I USE THE NECK PICKUP, MIDDLE PICKUP, OR BRIDGE PICKUP "BY THEMSELVES" (POSITION 1, 3, and 5). If I combine pickups (POSITION 2 and 4) then there is no buzzing.
1. Is this supposed to happen and do you need two pickups used for some distortion?
2. Is something wrong with the pickups?
3. Is my amp bad?
4. Can You Explain Some more about the topic?
Thanks so much... Roshan.
* PS, Please Elaborate and ask questions if you need more information on my situation or electronics.
Answer Roshan,
It would be hard to figure out your problem without doing it " Hands On" but, tell me what kind of buzzing? Is it a distorted buzz, a ground noise. You said that it happens only when you use a heavy distortion and only when you use a single pick up?
