I'm pretty used to fuzzes being generally noisy (mostly from picking up electro-garbage from LED lights etc), but wanted to ask for future troubleshooting - if you're getting a good amount of background noise, what is the best way to see if there's an actual problem?
I just built an Executive and added a voltage starve. The hiss happens no matter where the Gain or Starve pots are set, and doesn't change as I change position with my guitar. It's definitely hiss, not buzz. Other than that, the pedal sounds excellent.
I know Bosstones can have some background noise, so this may be normal. Trying to figure out a good step-by-step to help determine that.
I socketed the transistors and diodes, so I plan on trying different transistors. What else should I look at? Would love to reduce the hiss if I can.
Much appreciated!
