robh21234 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Ok so i just purchased a firehawk to use with my crate bv-120h amp. I hooked it all up through the effects loop and turned it on and all i hear is buzzing. I habe a schecter demon 6 with active pickups. I plugged in my friends ibanez with passive pickups and it works just fine. Is the the firehawk not compatible with active pickups or am i doing something wrong?

robh21234 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 I replaced it and still nothing. I ran the guitar through the amp and it worked. Im just gonna get a passive guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriPPleX Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 maybe the cord? I have 2 active Schecters, an active Ibanez bass, passive Ibanez guitar and they all work just fine. Make sure it's an instrument cord and not a stereo cord. I was just thinking a grounding issue or something. Lots of people have active pickups.

robh21234 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 I updated the firmware and now it works so i guess that was the problem lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 It was probably a setting that was reset on the reflash. Keep that in mind when you make changes, if it occurs again look at what was changed just prior. For the most part amp's don't really care if PUs are active or not. Some passive PUs can have a real strong signal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
