EuanGMason Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I am using an Aria Strat copy with an Amplifi 150. When I strum I get immediate sound, then a sudden increase in volume after about half a second. The guitar doesn't do this with a normal amp. This is really annoying and I'm considering taking it back to the shop. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavidboyd Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 the only way I could see that happening is if you have an echo on with the 'wet' delay sound set louder than the dry guitar signal. Are you running one of the default effect settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuanGMason Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 It happens with all presets & is most evident with the clean ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuanGMason Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 The best way to hear it is to pluck all strings simultaneously with your fingers. I play that way some of the time. It's not so evident with my acoustic guitar, which makes me wonder about some sort of interaction with single coil pickups. The Aria is absolutely fine with a normal amp.

jdavidboyd Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Sounds strange, I'd take my guitar to the store, and try another (or several) 150s, and see if it happens with those. As a swag, sounds like the circuitry that digitizes the incoming guitar signal has something flaky going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuanGMason Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah. I took it back & they're going to source another one for me. I tried an Amplifi 30 that was on-hand & it was fine. Interestingly we tried another Strat with the 150 and found the same fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuanGMason Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Good news. The replacement amp is fine. It was a defect in the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
