Hey mates,
I recently obtained the new Minifooger Ring Mod
and I am curious to know if anyone is familiar with
the Ring Mod humming after a note has been cutoff.
It's making this pedal nearly impossible to use
musically. I absolutely love Ring Modulation and I
understand how some do not have gates to cutoff
the Ring Mod's freq, but this is over the top in volume
and then it fades out. I'll hit a note for an eighth note
duration and the hum will last for a half note's worth.
Also, sometimes it will just hum the whole time that
the pedal is on. It's really ridiculous. I have the Luck Duck
8-Bit and I know that it has a constant hum, but this
Minifooger has more bottom end attached to the hum
and it is much louder.
Any help would appreciated. If this is a typical thing
with the Minifooger Ring Mod (I don't remember this
happening on the full sized Ring Mod by Moog) then
I guess I'll just have to sale the pedal.
Thanks for any help guys!

P.S. Here is a demo featuring my issue. You can't really here it right now
(and maybe it isn't there at all), but that hum that you hear die out after
each note is sometimes constantly going and if the Frequency is tuned
low you can really feel it which is ridiculously hard to play with.
The first two sets of notes is with the bass clean and then the ring mod on (all knobs at noon).
The following lines are just with the ring mod on. I tried playing stuff that contained both short
notes as well as long notes and space in between them.
As far as gear I'm running an Active Noguera Jazz Bass with mostly the neck pup on.
I am then running a Monster cable into only the Ring Mod followed by a Hosa cable into the amp head.
The power supply is a 1Spot and meets the recommended specs.
So in the end, is this a malfunction or is this a standard decay/release amount with this pedal?
