petejenkin Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hi everyone, Im currently enjoying my HD500 and DT25 very much and have been given an opportunity to buy a second hand 700 from a friend. Ive noticed that when you play, there is a definite whistling in the background, which obviously becomes more obvious at higher volumes. I have reinstalled the firmware, which hasn't cured it. I have also played direct to amp which again has made no difference. I have also tried making adjustments to the controls on the workbench, but again no difference. Is this whistling a normal thing with the 700 or is it indicating there is a fault somewhere ? Is it a known fault and is it repairable ? I haven't paid for the 700 yet as I am just trying it out, but if the problem is repairable relatively cheaply then there isn't a problem as I love the guitar. Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozbadman Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 My 700 is as silent as a church mouse. No whistling, even with my HD500 and DT25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 It should not do that! That is usually the result of a bad part or bad connection somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
