Whining

11/5/1999 12:33 AM
MG	Whining I had a DOD flanger that I got in a pkg deal, did the same thing, I took off the back, sprayed contact cleaner/lube into the pots and jacks, worked a plug in and out of the jacks and it still whined. Tried the pedal a few days later, no more whine. Guess it was just dirty. Had a Yamaha Distortion that would do the same thing, it had PC mounted jacks, if you barely bumped the cable, whine city! I think that problem was in the jacks, and I didn't want to fool with changing them out, sold the pedal as is. Later! FWIW, never had that problem with any Boss, Ibanez pedals.
