    I just got an ehx the silencer. I can’t seem to get it set right. I’ve trued putting it before my effects, after the effects, and looped into just one effect. The problem I’m having, once I set the controls according to the manual, and the hum disappears, my first strum or pluck starts out normal. Then it’s like the volume cracks way past max all of the sudden. No matter how or where I set the others controls, it’s the same thing.

    Noise is a notoriously difficult thing to debug. Hence the fantastic EHX Hum Debugger, but the Hum Debugger won’t help you if you having other types of noise on the line.

    What type of noise is coming through? Is it a hum, perhaps a 50 or 60 cycle hum from the mains? Have you tried turning off the lights in your room? Moving your stuff farther away from your ‘puter or the wall warts? Is it worse when you have certain effects turned on? Which ones?

    The silencer takes care of the noise. The problem I’m having is response from the guitar, and sudden volume burst.

    I just talked to two different guys at musicians friend. I’ve just decided to try and sell it/pawn it off to some other sucker. This was my first and probably last ehx pedal.
