[1]There was an audible pulse, a dull click, in the signal from the pedal. Much like from a metronome. In fact, before seeing the thing we all told her to switch it off. ;\I could see the indicator in the knob going darker with the pulse which led me to the thought it might be the <a href="http://PSU.Th">PSU.Th</a>e sound was what one not knowing the pedal would expect but she claimed it sounded wrong.I think I came across that phenomenon ages ago but alas I can’t remember what it was.I can’t say for sure, but I think the PSU was a switched type. I didn’t touch it but it looked rather small.I ‘just curious’ what could cause <a href="http://this.An">this.An</a>y thoughts?Thanks - Michael.[1] much like these <a href="http://www.thomann.de/gb/movall.html--http://mz.klingt.org_______________________________________________Synth-diy">http://www.thomann.de/gb/movall.html--http://mz.klingt.org_______________________________________________Synth-diy</a> mailing<a href="mailto: listSynth-diy@dropmix.xs4all.nlhttp"> listSynth-diy@dropmix.xs4all.nlhttp</a>://<a href="http://dropmix.xs4all.nl/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy">dropmix.xs4all.nl/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy</a></pre></div>
