How come it is so noisy? Maybe mine is broken or something, I don't know. Almost on all settings I have an amount of noise when pedal is on. While playing it's ok, because you can't hear it, but if you play with pauses or start song, this noise really comes up and make this pedal not usable. I use dry mode in order to keep the low end. In all other mods noise is also there though.
Is it all? No! In a mix fuzz could hardly be heard. Well, I like that low end really stays the same when pedal is on, but if you can't hear the fuzz (unless you play on yourself), than what's the point?
I'm really dissapointed with this pedal.

try starting with them both much lower - like 9 o'clock - and work your way up from there, starting with the "sustain" (fuzz/gain) control and then the volume control to balance it. Do this and you won't need the dry blend. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Latvia | | | I use Ibanez power supply, I think there's no problem with it. I'm starting heaving too much noise with volume and sustain over 1 o'clock and especially if tone is 9 o'clock, which I like most. If tone is between 3 and 6 o'clock and volume and sustain below 1 it's fine, but I don't like the sound then, because there's simply not enough of the effect and it can't be heard in the mix. I guess there's something really wrong, how could it be that everyone loves it except me?

There's less noise in passive mode. I just checked it once again with the different amp. So then my bass doesn't like the muff I guess?
