Esteban Villanova Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Hi, I just got a Joyo Chopper Z distortion/preamp pedal and I'm having a weird problem. The pedal generates an audible distortion/dropout when bypassed. This happens only when plugged into my amp (an Orange Terror Stamp that I'm using as a recording preamp with no cab), but not when plugged directly to the interface. The sound is like a voltage drop when notes get louder and it sounds nasty. I checked with different patch cables and comparing with other pedals but it really is the bypassed Joyo and only when plugged into my amp. Did I get a dud?

OutrageProductions Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Sounds like the DC coupling section in the input of your amp is kaput. Tube amps are especially susceptible to this kind of induced noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
