I got what I think is the last of those PCB's and it took me a while to build it. Love the tone but the background white noise is a bit too much.
Details:
I'm using a 1 Spot power supply. I cannot, at the moment, try another PS.
The noise is there even if the Radium Springs is isolated in the signal chain.
The noise is there no matter how the Mix control is set, except it decreases a bit when I'm close to 100% wet.
It's too noisy to me even before reaching unity volume with the amp.
No mods where done to the circuit but using a 100K Log pot for Mix and 100K B for volume (I prefer the feel).
The only way I found to kind of counter the problem is to set the level of the Radium Springs really really low - to the point its low even for bedroom playing - and then boost the signal back up with the volume of an overdrive pedal placed before it - so I get the desired volume increase but no white noise (the white noise doesn't increase using this method, only the reverb effect. Now, boost AFTER the reverb makes the white noise creep back in). However, doing that is very impractical in the real world - it means I must have an OD or boost always on and if I turn the reverb off, the pedal will make everything super loud.
Are there any mods I can do to help counter the white noise? I really don't want to part with this pedal!
