Noisy DOD pedal

Post by paul_ »

My FX65 Chorus pedal is putting out a solid whine sound when bypassed that I don’t remember from a few years ago when I bought it.

Things I’ve tried include disconnecting it from my OneSpot adapter and using a battery instead, as well as switching the cables out for my nicer shielded ones, but it’s still a problem, even when I hook it up with no other effects in the chain. Any ideas?

I guess caps can go bad after some time, and those DOD pedals are from the like mid '80s?

Is it only when bypassed?

Have you tried pouring beer on it?

Very basically first check the jacks and make sure nothing is loose or disconnected.

Yeah, I apologize for posting a pic of the pedal instead of a video of the noise issue.
Anyway, I’m now not so sure this isn’t an issue with my power supply but this would mean a problem with my Deucetone Rat, which is much more expensive. Boo, but I can at least rig up a workaround.

Hm, the noise still persists and now I don’t know what the hell is going on except that the individual pedals are ok.
