Paragon Mini Picking Up Radio Frequencies

[jojofogarty01]

I built this one during quarantine, and it picks up radio frequencies on both circuits hat are VERY loud and noticeable, it makes the pedal almost unusable. Increasing the volume knob increases the volume of the radio station. I brought it college with me this semester, and I guess since we are kind of in the middle of nowhere it didn't pick anything up. However, when I got back I started to notice it.

Wiring looks good, how close did you trim the component legs? They can pick stuff up if left too long

I usually trim them down to the solder pool. So they shouldn't be long. I wanna rehouse this one anyway, so I might take another look and re-do off board wiring. Any other suggestions?

The off board looks pretty good to me

Have you go an audio probe? Might tell you where it's coming in, I had guitar the pickups went microphonic on and it would pick up all sorts of stuff

I do not. I assume this is not something that my multimeter comes equipped with?

Correct google it, it's easy to make one, probably several threads here on it too
