Sea Horse static/white noise

[Dan M]

I built a Sea Horse with @Chuck D. Bones mods: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/sea-horse-mods.5162/

The pedal functions correctly. Silent in bypass, silent when ON and not playing. But when I play a note, there is a static or white noise sound along with the repeats.

I've read that pt2399 chips are noisy. Is this what I'm hearing?
I don't have another chip to swap. I was thinking in my next parts order, I could add a chip or two to see if there is a difference.

Otherwise, the pedal is pretty cool and tweakable for a lot of different repeats.
But as it stands, the noise is annoying enough that I took the pedal off my board

Thank you,
Dan

Could be the chip. Wanna post a video?

Thank you for the comment. I’ll see if my phone can pick up the sound. I don’t have any recording gear.

I buy those things a gross at a time from 12 different sources during a full moon, naked and alone in the desert.

It's a bit extreme but I can get 8 or 9 good ones that way

Ok. Next full moon is April 26 and tayda shows 3.9 million in stock. So I’ve got a shot!
