    Re: BBE Mind Bender = noisy as hell. Any fixes?

    Might be worth a trip. The BBE pedals I have are very quiet.

    Try it with a battery; try a different power cord from your P/S; try a different output jack on the P/S; try a different P/S.

    Before the dirstbox? I'll try it.

    I wonder if they lowered the input gain to cure the problem with the guitar signal distorting the pedal, and in so doing of course raised the noise floor.
    The older version.

    I'll check that out too. I'm going for the specific tone that results from it being in front of the amp, but if running it in the loop solves the issue, so be it. :/


    BBE is like a 1/2 hour drive from me, I wonder if they could do something about it.

    In front of the amp, after my dirt pedal. Voodoo Labs PP2+ for power.

    I haven't been able to find any suggested mods or even a schematic online.

    started a topic BBE Mind Bender = noisy as hell. Any fixes?

    BBE Mind Bender = noisy as hell. Any fixes?

    I'm currently using a BBE Mind Bender as a chorus pedal, and I like the basic sound but it's noisy as hell when I'm playing on the OD channels of my amp. Any good mods or fixes out there for it to improve overall sound or noise levels?

    I googled but didn't find much. :/
