This is weird but worth mentioning. I had a rig with a warble and it turned out to be the fan. When the blades were turning, it put some crud on the power supply. It may have been a DC to AC converter in the hub of the fan. ?Anyway, jam something into the blades and turn on the rig, if

Bow - I think a LIMITER is nice for AM. Maybe you could add that to the chain (LOL) and how about adding a T.C. Helicon CREATE for when you want to add that Jazz Effect to your transmission, hi hi OK.. I was playing around with my Icom IC-718 and the audio setup that I normally run for

Bow, I suggest that something early in the chain is generating a low-frequency oscillation, which is beating with your audio, particularly your lows, generating a form of intermodulation distortion. . Maybe something in the Behringer VX2000 Mic Preamp is either taking off, or maybe it's

OK.. I was playing around with my Icom IC-718 and the audio setup that I normally run for SSB. I was playing around with AM, because I have never used it for AM before, and recording the audio, because someone on an internet forum actually said the outboard processing is a waste on AM...

I listened to your audio clip. It really sounds to me like all your FX units are fighting each other to some degree. Example: I can tell you have a fair amount of de-essing set on your VX2000, you also have a good amount of high-mid and high EQ set on your PEQ-2200. This in itself creates
