My Tone Press makes strange noises

Postby cjowo » Tue Nov 10, 2009 11:10 pm

So I bought a TP and it makes my amp, and every other amp i've tried it on, sound like crickets. Does anyone know what is wrong?

You might want to check your cables and power supply/battery. What settings are you using on the TP?

Most pedals can be pretty noisy if you're using an non-isolated power supply (1Spot, Godlyke, etc.). Try the pedal with a battery or something like a T-Rex FT JR or VL PP2+ and let us know how it works. By maxing out all the settings, you're also adding gain via the volume knob, which contributes to the noise you're hearing.
