Bass Soul Food : Pops when engaged

7 years ago

It's a common issue with pedals, but this thing pops when you turn it on due to static discharge. I have heard that this can be remedied by turning on the internal buffer. I tried that, but there is still a pop if I turn the effect on while putting any signal through it. Hotter signal, louder pop. Kind of a deal breaker for me because this would be something I would kick on while I'm playing to rock out in a chorus for example.

While the pedal is on, it's a nice sounding od. Subtle and warm. Definitely on the vintage side of things. The gain level is quite low, but you can juice some more breakup out of it if needed by feeding it a hotter signal.
