Title: LED footswitch weirdness
Post by: Ekimneets on September 20, 2018, 06:04:23 PM
So I just did a build with a base Klon circuit that I have built a lot w/o problems. This was different. Lots of ambient noise, "alternator whine" at high gain and dampened pots.

Anyone else seen this?

Just the phrase "alternator whine" was enough to bring me back to the stress of driving a beater all through college...

Have you wired this build up with a regular foot switch to make sure the LED switch is the problem?

Yes, it was like magic, it went back to normal
