    Hi All

    Just got this pedal, cool stuff, but scratchy and noisy on certain patches. Anyone else?
    Thanks

    What settings. One is a heavy Fuzz guitar blended in with a synth and that is noisy like any fuzz ever made

    #3. Isn’t a pleasant noise. Like a scratchy pot/static sound.

    Yeah I just tried this affect out and yes it’s definitely very noisy on some factory presets

    Even when I held down the strings as soon as I engaged the pedal effect it made this crazy noise on certain patches very annoying

    The patch may be a Fuzz tone. ANY fuzz has noise.
    Also there is a compressor built into the Synth9 to even sound out with uneven playing.
    Compressors make things nosier when there is no input signal.

    ALSO your amp should be set clean.

    Synth 9 purchased new, using EHX power supply standard dry/buffered signal into pedal. All patches have a sawtooth/fuzz characteristic. This was a replacement by MF for the 1st one that was DOA. On my board for awhile, rarely used. Kind of figured that was “on purpose” until I started watching the videos. Keeping me from buying a Bass9 because I have seen one post elsewhere that calls out “distortion” for complex signals, like chords or finger-picking note “overlaps”.
