Sign in to disble this ad
I just bought a cheap Delay pedal - a replacement for another that died... Same pedal.
This one however makes alot of noise/hiss when playing notes.
I thought it could be an issue with the charger so I tried it with batteries and all hell broke loose!
We're talking hiss, feedback etc...
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Perhaps something wired incorrectly?
Or just a dud pedal? |

Which specific pedal is it? And what specific charger did you use before the batteries? |

Sound is only a part of the package. Reliability is a big deal for gigging musos. Most people who have had one pedal die prematurely wouldn't buy it again unless there was something really special about it.
