So, I'm having an issue with my new build of the Chaos Machine.
The build went smoothly enough, but there is a distinct whine/noise coming from it.
Two, distinct noise, in fact.
As you'll see in the video here, when I roll up on Mix A there is a sort of wind noise.. I don't know how best to describe it, but it almost sounds like wind through leaves on a tree?
The more I roll up Mix A, the more it comes through, and it is affected by the Intensity A knob.
When I roll up Mix B, I get a louder shriller noise.
Again, best way I can describe it is like a forest full of cicadas.
And again, it's affected by rolling up Intensity B
You'll hear it better in the video.
Could this be down to the wiring of the expression jack?
I think I've seen elsewhere here that it sometimes is a problem. It's wired with plain old silicone jacket monocore 24g hookup wire.
Also also.
I can figure out if the expression jacks just aren't working, or I'm connecting them incorrectly from my expression pedal (Boss FV-60).
There isnt and good guide or manual to tell you how to connect it properly, but I would have assumed it's a stereo (TRS) cable out from the expression pedal and I to either of the exp. Jacks on the chaos machine pedal.
So, any help there?
Also also also, since the expression pedal I have has two output jacks, would that mean I could connect both to both exp jacks on the chaos machine?
Basically, I'm lost with this thing, but the more pressing issue it the noise.
I've confirmed good clean solder joints, no bridges on the board and all hookup wiring is confirmed good.
