Hi everyone,
I recently started making some of the kits from Musikding and until now had some pretty good success. I'm still learning but I've had some trouble with my latest project and am looking for any insight as to what might be going wrong. Yesterday I built the Engineer's Thumb and it seems to be working properly except for a strange distortion or fizzing sound when the compressor is active. At first I was wondering if maybe I had put the LEDs in backwards, but I don't think that's the issue.
Here's a sound sample for the moment, and I'll post photos shortly.
The E major chord is with the effect off, when I play the E minor the compressor is on and you can hear the chord sustaining and that is when you can hear the distortion. The effect also 'pops' a little bit more than I'd like, but maybe that's normal. My main issue is the distortion/fizzing sound you hear as the chord rings out.
Thanks for any advice!
C
