Nashville 112 flutter?

Post by Dick Rivera »

Ocassionally, I hear a flutter when systaining a cord. The flutter is barley noticeable. Hard to explain, but the sound is more like moving wind. Any ideas?

what we use to call "Modulation" years ago. i sure wouldn't loose sleep over it. Has this just started, how many times has it happened? on the bass registers, high volume? high treble? something to work with here and i bet the guys can tell you....

Dick,

I don't have any idea what it is but I had to post to share a similar experience.

Several weeks ago at rehearsal I noticed our 2 guitar players amps (both tube fenders)and our keyboard players amp (a solid state amp) had a very distintive "flutter" sound. It sounded exactly like reel to reel tape flutter. It was ever so slight. The funniest thing was no one else noticed it but me. I assumed it was either my hearing playing tricks or something to do with the the power to the rehearsal space.

No, I had not been drinking or any thing else. I had never heard anything like it before.

Just a thought, it might be noise from the volume pedal. Also, you might try it with the reverb off, and see if you still get the noise.

Do you happen to have a fan running? A fan can cause flutter.

Guitar amp flutter

Experimented more. Sound is also like a low reverb rumble, but no effect on the tone. Setting reverb to zero made no difference. The flutter does not occur when picking and muting between frets, sliding the bar toward the keyhead, or using pedals. It mainly occurs when picking strings 3 & 5, sliding the bar toward the keyhead, from frets 13 to to about fret 8. Example, sliding from fret 11 (A down) to fret 10 (A & B down).
