Nord Stage 2 // Sudden Volume Dropoff

Post by lukekutler »

Hi there! I’m Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction with my Nord stage 2. I’m getting a slight, but noticeable volume drop in outputs 1&2 periodically while playing. I have no pedals connected except for a sustain pedal. What could be happening?

1. How old are your cables?
2. What are you playing through, and could it be responsible?
I think I have gear issues ....

Try to turn the master volume up/down fast a few times, to check if pot is still working fine.
