weird

[gush]

I have been struggling to get my hog ce22 setup correctly. High E string had this warbling thing going on and I couldn't figure it out.

The problem was this. I have a fan on the floor in my music room and when I'm down there I have it on. My korg blacklight tuner is in the gear rack which is very tall and is mounted about shoulder high so I can check tuning while I practice. I turned my fan off and could hear the warbling slow down then stop. I turned fan on then off again, same thing. The fan motor had been causing the problem. I tested with fan on and I could hear it in all strings but high E was much more obvious.

I've been messing around with this all week and I am happy to have problem resolved.

Very strange. Kind of like the old dimmer switch issue. Do you have a different fan you could try? I'd be interested to see if it remains with another fan.

When I'm on one side of the room, and my guitar rig is on the other side of the room, and the ceiling fan is on, I definitely hear weird warbles in the guitar tone. It's the reflection of the guitar amp's sound waves off the ceiling being interrupted by the fan.

I wondered about that too John. I was going to try a different fan just to see if it was electrical. My job has been crazy busy with service calls this month. Haven't touched guitar and now I'm going to Arkansas for some training. Leave sunday back Thursday.
I'm riding bike there so that will be cool.

It's not electrical, it's the doppler effect. Just like John said.
Just think of it as a big leslie speaker you didn't ask for. :dontknow:
