Hi, so I don't know if I should even be posting this thread in a guitar forum, but maybe some of you have an idea of how to help.
So basically, the room i'm in now is haunted..for lack of a better word. I bought my first pedal yesterday, (a wah-wah pedal), and when I turn it on, I hear the
radio through my amp. When I rock the wah back, the radio sounds all bass'y, and when I rock it forward, it sounds treble'y (much like the actual sounds a guitar would make when pedal is rocked forwards/backwards). If I plug my guitar gear in any other room than the one i'm in now, there's no interference, but this room itself is messed up.
I remember that we used to have a phone with a cord in here, and we could faintly hear the radio on it, now we have a cordless phone in this room and there is no radio interference. Also, if I turn the volume on my speakers up loud, I can actually hear the sound the computer makes when I use the scroll mouse. If my amp is on, sometimes I can hear the computer [scrolling] through it. Also, sometimes if my amp is on, and I turn my computers speakers on, the amp pops (and vice versa).
So in conclusion, this room is haunted and i'll get an electrician in here in awhile, but I was just wondering if anyone has any idea what the hell is going on. I know that there was a time before where this room didn't have any sort-of electrical interference. It would really suck to have to move everything in this room into my room and everything in my room into this room just to use a pedal.
I guess the only reason i'm posting this problem in a guitar forum is because of the significance of the pedal. When the pedal isnt on, there is no interference, but somehow it causes interference when it's on.
