I was playing my guitar amp(digital) today and noticed after turning my
guitars volumn down all the way that I heard some type of voice in the
noise(sorta like those that think they recorded some ghosts talking.)

The first think I captured is something about god or eygpt or something.
The wierd thing is that it fades in and out of clarity and strenght.

Heres a clip of one part. I did some noise reduction to try and make it a
little more clear.

In the whole thing there sounds like some russian speak and some music. I
played around with the tone and drive controls on my amp to try and see
if I
could "tune" it but I don't think I had any luck. That clip has the most
audible sound. Everything else is much harder to hear.

I'm curious as to where this possibily comes from. Is it radio stations
or
TV or maybe Ham?

Also, would the problem possibily be from the design of the amp being bad
or
is this just noise that happens to be picked up by all equipment? (its
not
audiable with normal use of the amp).

One more thing: Why does the sound seem to fade in and out? It seems to
do
this in a consistent basis as if there is a low frequency envelope
modifying
the stength of the signal.

P.S. I'm wondering if this is where people that claim to hear god,ghosts,
etc.. get the signals from. At first, when I heard it I wasn't sure what
it
was but after some time I heard some voices and it sounded like I was
picking up a phone conversation(like sometimes the wireless phones do).

It made me think of that show about ghosts were they would try and be
scientific and they would record some spot and then claim that they
captured
some ghost like voice saying someones name. Most likely they are just
hearing things but then I thought maybe that the internal circuitry might
be
picking up signals from something and that might explain it.

Try this trick. Put a 1K resistor in series with the signal lead
directly at the input jack and put a ferrite bead on one or both ends
of the resistor lead. My choice woud be on the lead NOT connected to
the jack. That lowpass network will have nearly no effect on the audio
but kill the RF. I've done this on hi end audio receivers, mixing
boards and guitar amps with good results.


I might end up playing around with it later. Right not its not an issue
though. I might just try some of these ideas to see how well they work and
try also to isolate the where the problem is comming from.

Thanks,
Jon
