Hi EHX STAFF, Thanks a lot for the prompt response.
The pedal is brand new, bought in July/June.
But I cannot exchange it now because I am back home in India.

However, there is hope. I used the pedal along with TS 9
and later with other boxes on a pedal board.
The issue persisted with battery and branded power supplies.
I removed the pedal from the chain. Then the issue cropped
up with a booster and an equalizer pedals. I remembered that when the voltage
dropped, my amp used to behave in a similar manner. I checked the voltage
and found it lower than the required levels (160 instead of the required 220-240).

I will test the pedal again when the voltage improves and get an UPS to give me steady voltage.
I will also clean the switch with a de-oxidizing fluid. Will WD 40 do the job, I wonder.

Sorry for the long yarn, but I thought you might find it a bit useful.

I will keep you posted on further developments.

Thanks again
