you "have" to use a CS80 expression pedal...There is a light and photo
cell inside the pedal....it is not a pot...If anything is shorting
inside the 1/4 inch TRS jack, you will send voltage down the ground
rail and end up needing service.....

Subject: [yamahacs80] periodic distortion on cs80 output question(plus
pedal question too)

hi folks-im wondering if anyone has experienced this? my cs80 will
randomly get a distortion on the output, and it will then randomly go
away. it will never last longer than 5-7 seconds at a time, and it
doesnt seem to be "control induced" in any way. (it sounds alot like a
preamp does with the gain all the way up(signal still comes through).
im going to be recording with it in a little while, so i kinda would
like to clear this up. any leads onthis?

also, i have heard a horror story(old crow site maybe?) about shorting
things out by plugging in an expression pedal. i have yet to do this
on my 80. any advice? plug it in before i turn it on? should i be
worried, or no?

thanks guys!!!
