Spark hisses and crackles while I play
-
Hi all, I know some people get the hum when not touching the strings, but mine seems to be the other way round. It's pretty quiet when I'm not playing, but when I hit a string, it hisses and crackles.
I don't seem to remember it doing it when I first got it, but I don't think it's the guitar or lead as it's fine when I plug into my Blackstar HT5. No peddles or anything connected, so it's not them either.
I could handle it if it was the "hum when not touching the strings" issue, but it ruins playing as it ONLY crackles when I play. Also, when testing, it seems to miss the occasional tap on the strings altogether. I am presuming it's the input socket or something...
Anybody else, or is this just me?

As an update to this, I just tested it with another guitar and I get the same effect, so it's definitely not the guitar... suppose it could be something to do with the lead... I'll check that next.

@volospian Other posts in the forum where people are experiencing the same thing here.. Companies no longer seem to help customers in forums. They only want to help directly. They are not even watching this forum. They neglect it so badly, spam is posted and never deleted.. But, I don't own a spark. But I can say "You are not alone", many reporting this issue after the upgrade. Put in a ticket with Positive Grid support, it is about the only way you will hear from them.
