    Hey guys Im new to this forums and i’ve got a problem with my brand new big muff pi with tone wicker.

    when I plug all the clables and stuff to the pedal and get ready to play, i hear an anoying noise comming from the pedal this noise occur when i leave the pedal in the floor, or when i touch the pedals switches, or the metal jack arround my cable. its a really heavy like “oscilating” noise.

    I think its a ground problem or something related, Im using my muff with the battery it came with.

    I will appreciate your help with this problem.

    Im not from the usa so excuse my english.

    thnx

    Sounds kinda like a bad ground. I’d try some different cables.

    make sure the ground pin is connected inside and hasn’t come loose or snapped off or something too. (you can’t miss it — it’s a little spring looking thing)

    My solution was to sand the part where the spring goes. It was a bad ground. There so much paint between the spring and chasis.
