Update: the pedal is fine in a live situation. In studio (or any other environment that requires the cleanest signal with as little background noise as possible) I found that having a pedal that can slightly reduce the output gain AFTER the Grand Canyon and BEFORE the amp completely solves the problem. I have a stereo setup and the last pedal in the chain is the Lehle Dual, which has separate gain controls for both channels. Reducing the gain in the Dual magically gets rid of the hiss. It’s been a total honeymoon with the Grand Canyon after discovering this trick!
MuzakMemberHey, thanks for replying! Honestly this is the kind reply I was hoping for! I tested the pedal both in my super quiet signal chain with my other pedals AND as the only pedal between guitar and amp. Tried it with different guitars and pickups, both in stereo and in mono. The hiss is the same. Dead silent in bypass, hissy when switched on.
I only used the EH power supply that comes with the pedal.
I’ll follow your advice and contact the techs on Monday. If it’s confirmed that the pedal is not meant to be hissy at all, I will get in touch with the UK supplier I got it from and ask for a replacement. The pedal itself is a stunner, it would be really sad if such a quality little unit was ruined by all that hiss! Especially a delay pedal, that is supposed to shine in clean and quiet parts….
Fingers crossed. -
