I guess this thread is more for the guys playing in a louder environment as the popping doesn't occur on bedroom levels. But it kinda pisses me off to have a new pedal, loving it at home only to find out its not so good when playing with the band. Some pedals seem to have it others don't, my latest addition: a MXR 109 6 band EQ, makes a loud pop when engaged and adds quite some hiss to the signal. I was going to use it as a mid/treble/solo boost through the front end of my amp but it doesn't play nicely with it . I build my own Klon(e) and Maxon from Aion and they have very low noise added to the signal and no pop when engaged regardless of their position in the chain.
btw I opened up the underside of the pedal (aka battery compartment) and its all shiney smd components, no funny smell (sometimes people sell their pedals because they fried something) or anything suspicious, I don't think this pedal is supposed to be like this? My first MXR pedal and probably my last if this is normal.
Or did I put it in the wrong spot of the chain?
