Floyd Rose flutter sound when I picking hard.

[CarlosG]

Hi!
I have problem with guitars with floyd rose.
I have strong attack and when I picking notes I have flutter sound.
I notices it happens when I have stiff arm and arm is under strings or backwards (like Dimebag).
When arm is loose and is falls down then I havn't flutter effect.
It's common problem, I saw Ibanez invented ULTRALITE tremolo arm, which prevents flutter sound.
But I have Floyd Rose and I like stiff arm. What can I do?
I have 3 springs with 9-42 in E standard.

Stop picking so hard.

Is it the arm, or the springs? If it's the springs buy some silent springs(coated). Or stick a piece of foam in the cavity and replace the cover(thats what I did). If it's the arm, get a new one? I really don't know on that one. There's a company that makes something to fix loose wobbly trem arms called red dragon or something. Maybe Google it?
Sorry bro, it's Red Bishop that makes it.

It's usually the side of the palm that dampens/mutes causing the fluttering. A very light touch is a must with floating trems.

First world problem.

You can either work on your technique, or get yourself stiffer springs.

My Ibanez RG4 does that
if you shake it , it flutters

Three springs
Try using five springs
Or take the arm off

More/stiffer springs

Optionally, there are trendsetter devices that reduce this too.

use more springs (I think you have to unscrew the springs plate to compensate the higher pull) but you probably have to double check the position of your palm too, try to move the weight towards the tremolo pivot screws

yeah brug, throw another spring in that baby, symmetrical styles.
