Hello!
I recently finished the Deflector reverb - my goodness, what a blast. I don't have a ton of use for an ambient reverb, but it sounds great and turned out well enough to sell to someone looking for a discount Afterneath!
My ONLY issue with it is that, as I turn the Density control CCW, a light whine is introduced, becoming most pronounced at the minimum knob position. This goes away almost completely after turning the knob about 25% past minimum, but is definitely noticeable with the control set below that. Sounds almost like an oscillation introduced from a cheap power supply, but I'm using an MXR iso brick which is dead quiet otherwise. I don't think the whine is a huge deal because IMO the knob sounds best past noon, but I'd like to fix it if I can.
Does anyone have experience with this or know what could cause it? Could it be an issue with the FV-1 itself? I've tried to get a demo but the hiss seems too subtle to record with my phone... maybe I'm just splitting hairs here, not sure.
Thanks for your help!
