Does it do it with all switch positions on that guitar. What I’m trying to get it is to see if it might be one specific pickup in that guitar that’s causing the problem. If it is, you might check the height of that pickup, it may be mudying the tone and causing that sound.

Changed Pot on Small Stone, now I have just Ground Hum! #119011StubbornBardMemberQuote:I have no way of knowing what it looked like before, but it looks like the solder from one point has boiled over to another connection “shorting” it out. Too little solder and you won’t get a good connection, but too much and you get a connection made that didn’t need making. Heat it up, suck out the solder with a solder sucker/desolder pump, and try again. If you took before photos, reference them to make sure which connections need to be made and which ones don’t. Good luck to ya.This is a picture of a small stone circuit. So yours should look similar. Given that you have multiple solder points that boiled over, I’d bet thats your problem.
StubbornBardMemberI’ve had experience where some joints on circuits just need reheating to remake a faulty connection.

StubbornBardMemberAs long as you know the 9V battery is good then that doesn’t sound good. Sounds like the circuitry, hopefully somebody else has one and knows of a fix.
StubbornBardMemberJust bought it
That’s my first vintage EHX pedal, hope it last awhile.StubbornBardMemberThanks so much.
StubbornBardMemberDont’ mean any offense, but is there a chance that your stomping these things too hard and messing up the electrical connections to the pot?
StubbornBardMemberDo you experience any problems using that same guitar with other pedals?
April 29, 2013 at 9:32 pm in reply to: MicroSynth and STM with mic’d instruments (accordions)? #118993StubbornBardMemberI’ll hookup my mic to my effects and play through my accoustic sometime soon and let you know how it goes.
StubbornBardMemberOn my Holy Stain, I can use Fuzz mode just fine with a standard 9v AC adapter, but the clean mode is barely audible, and the OD mode sounds like what your describing. Using the EHX 9.6v adapter fixes the problem. If you have another EHX pedel that came with a 9.6v power suppply, try that out, or hookup a 9V battery to see if that fixes it. That’ll let you know it’s a power issue. Good Luck.
StubbornBardMemberHave you tried cleaning it with deoxidizing solution that doesn’t contain any lubricants? They have CAIG DeOxit Cleaning Solution Spray on Amazon for $15.
StubbornBardMemberQuote:If your getting an actual hum from your guitar, the hum debuggers the way to go. If you turn the volume knob on your guitar off and still get it, I’d look elsewhere. I recently had a bad noise issue due to two of my EHX pedals not liking two 9v adapters I was using, fixed it by using the EHX 9.6v adapters.I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to post my info incase it helps someone doing searches.

StubbornBardMemberNice. I need to get one of these.
