Re: Finally got a Loudbox Mini
An 'electrical' problem would typically not manifest on certain notes. So, this is most likely (as Mandroid says) to be some form of 'mechanical' noise. It could be frets... but equally, a loose cable inside the instrument, a loose transducer, or even a resonance from the amp itself at certain frequencies: a loose nut or screw, or other part rattling around. Try to narrow down the culprit. Switch instruments.. in the workshop, I have an audio signal generator that I plug in and 'sweep' to test amps and speakers across the spectrum - this often reveals resonances or loose parts.
As for condenser mics... yes, you can... you just need an electret with built in battery: Shure SM94, Rode M3, AKG C1000, etc. These are all a good match to the Loudbox.
