The effect sounds how it should, I think, but there's a horrible interference sound mixed in the signal that gets even worst when you roll down the volume, you can hear radio stations and lots of noise. I have tried everything... used it with a 9v battery, with the 1spot, tried on the breadboard, on the enclosure... the sound just dond't go away. The pedal it's wired true bypass and even turned off and without any battery or dc power connected it's injecting noise into my other pedals (it's very notorious with any distortion effect). Even direct to the clean amp and with the effect off you can hear a slightly hum.<br /><br />What could be the problem?<br />I'll really apreciate your opinion. It's driving me crazy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342410298760874468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481402030233340127.post-47847600597636392692020-08-27T17:16:58.616-04:002020-08-27T17:16:58.616-04:00can you show it how you flipped it out=? i have th...can you show it how you flipped it out=? i have the same issue. thxurbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662625069688573571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481402030233340127.post-1648659031230819902020-08-18T16:46:02.390-04:002020-08-18T16:46:02.390-04:00Hey Man!

It seems to me that signal from guitar or other sources is just to weak to make it working. When I put this baby in the loop effect in my amp it works, but when I want to connect this the old fashioned way (guitar -> pedal -> amp) you can hear a big nothing :C <br /><br />Do you have any idea why is it like that ?
