I've just finished building a VHS and it has a background hiss/white noise. This happens regardless of whether it is supplied from a 230vAC>9vDC wall adapter or a 9v battery.
The noise is present with any or the three effects and when the boost is selected the volume of the hiss varies with the hiss. Each of the effects does work normally but with this background hiss.
There is no hiss on Bypass.
Shown below are three traces. The first is at the input jack. The second at the input (pin 1) of the FV-1 and the last at the output (pin 28).
Is this likely to be a faulty FV-1 or one of it's associated components?
