    Hey there,

    I’ve got a Cathedral Stereo Reverb that seems to have a grounding issue. If I touch either of the metal footswitches with my bare skin, it makes a loud and constant “buzzing” noise. This same kind of noise is produced if I have the pedal sitting on my concrete floor. However, the buzzing can be mostly eliminated if I place it on a wooden table, or if I touch both cables plugged into the pedal with my bare skin.

    Is there any way that I can fix this issue? It doesn’t *seem* too complex, but I have very little knowledge of electronics so I’m not sure how I might eliminate this buzzing for good.

    Thanks,
    Sven
