The gtr player in my instrumental trio has a micro POG and it is the noisiest thing when on, there is a bad ringing hum. Power supply is correct and cables are good. We are both pretty picky about our sounds and really like the effect but the noise is unbearable.
We are thinking it may be defective but wanted to poll the TB users. |

If it's not, you have to find a power supply to keep it happy. EHX pedals are peculiar with this. |

He's gonna check all the cables and placement so we'll see.

The noise went away as soon as I put the fuzz pedal FIRST, then the Barber Launch Pad clean boost.
It was a startling difference, noise-wise.
