I just got a blue 6 band from the 80s. It makes ocean noises when I play certain things. It sounds like the ocean after the chord fades out. Does this mean a cap. is bad? Anyone know? I am using a 9 volt battery.
Just bought the pedal and i need help trouble shooting it so any pointers would be fantastic!

I have several...they are just noisy and amplify any existing noise in your rig.

It sounds like the ocean after a chord rings out.

Well i plugged it into my plexi setup and it seems ok. Noisy but no ocean sounds. LOL
Thanks giutar007 for your feedback.

The noise floor shouldn't fluctuate like the sound of an ocean wave or a Doppler effect. I know mine acts up when the battery is running low. Have you tried a fresh battery?
