As anyone who owns a spring reverb module knows, the A-100's
transformer generates a lot of hum. In addition to the spring
reverb, I use a lot of electromagnetic pick-ups (like on a guitar)
as external signal inputs and find the hum almost unacceptable
with this set-up. I hope someone might have suggestions for
shielding the transformer, or knows of other ways to decrease
the hum generated by the A-100.

My A-126 Frequency Shifter seems to add a sine wave of almost
equal strength to any signal I plug into the module, has anyone
else had this problem I don't seem to be able to frequency shift
anything without adding a loud sine tone to it, even when using
high input signal coming from an A-110, for example.

I'd also like to know about ways to create a manual gate, without
a keyboard. A simple way to open/close a signal path...

To the person who asked about the spring reverb, I like it a lot. It
adds a very characteristic sound of its own, because of the
resonance of the springs, so it's in no way a "neutral" sounding
reverb. The springs offer very tactile ways for changing sounds
though, because they're very sensitive to vibration.
