SOURCE: korg pa-50 no sound from right speaker but has sound from left

Several things to check:

If the speakers are cut off when externaal cables are connected to line outs, possibly the jack sensing switch for the right channel thinks that a plug is in there... you might cycle one in and out to see if that might fix.

Another thing is they LIKELY have a PAN control setting and it might be set full left. The external MP3 would NOT be under PAN control, only the keyboard voices would be affected by it.

SOURCE: how to set up with amp and distortion pedal

With everything switched off. I will surmise that you are using the onboard battery with the foot pedal and not a power supply.
1. Plug lead from guitar/instrument into INPUT side of pedal
2. Plug lead from OUTPUT side of pedal into amplifier INPUT.
3. Turn amplifier volume to about 10 o'clock - to stop blowing your ears out.
4. Turn volume up on guitar to acceptable level.
5. press foot switch on pedal and adjust pedal controls to suit your type of distortion.
6. Play like Hendrix.
Good Luck
ps Just as an after thought rechargeable 9volt batteries are the way to go. I've been using them for years as I always get caught up in the power cable.
If you're going to add another pedal like a Phaser, Compressor, Flanger or what just use small connect leads between each pedal but always, always put the compressor pedal last in the line.

SOURCE: Static Noise from guitar amp.

I take it you have made sure that both the cable to the distortion box from the guitar and the cable to the amp are both good. From the description you give, it sounds like there is no signal getting to the pedal. If the cable is good, then the next likely suspect would be the input jack on the fuzz box. Try wiggling it a little with the guitar cable in place to see if it is loose. Some input jacks are unbelievably cheap and flimsy. A crackling sound (static like) is almost always a bad connection. If it was the output jack, I would think that the guitar signal would come through a least a little bit, but you might want to try wiggling that one, too, if the input jack isn't the culprit.

Another possibility to check is the battery, but this doesn't seem as likely. Some effects units devour batteries, especially units that use 9V batteries. I have a multi effect pedal that kills a 9V in about an hour.

SOURCE: My hot rod deluxe has internal distortion problems.

There are many components in the system. Electrolytic capacitors are most suspect. C49, C50, C45, C51

There are many others but these are top suspects. You MAY be able to detect a change by cooling these components with circuit cooler spray.

ALSO check the +/- 16 volt power sources in the unit.

Testimonial: "I haven't fixed the problem yet, there is more to it now that I have pinpointed the general problem, but he was right on the mark."

It will require repair. I suspect by you description that the D-A convertor has failed. This is a chip that is far beyond a DIY project to change. Do further testing to make sure the power supply voltages are correct and that headphone output sounds the same problem.

My digital effects does not work at all. It makes a noise only on the distortion setting and all it does then is hiss. Any ideas

Make sure your power supply is doing its job. check output reading w/ a ohm meter and compare it to the info on the back of the supply. i am assuming your using tje recommended power supply. if this does not prove to be the cause. you may have send it out for diagnostics and most times it's just cheaper to buy new. good luck

Each time my keyboard turn on, i got distortion

OK... it is the EX model...

Unless you had a surge to a high voltage it is not likely something was damaged, but it is possible.

First thing is to do the "factory reset" and see if that fixes the problem. Also try the headphone jack and see if it is also distorted.

Also go to this site and follow the proceedures exactly... try the "factory reset" first thing.
