Hi,
for the past couple of days my HX stomp has been making a crackling noise underneath my guitar sound. It's like my guitar sound is mixed with the crackling noise. The noise is not too loud but it is definitely prominent when listened closely. I am using the Hx stomp power supply that came in with the product.
I use a Beyerdynamic 770 pro 80 ohm Headphone directly from the Headphone jack in the stomp. The noise also exists after recording it in my DAW via USB. When I listened to some tracks that I recorded a week ago, the noise was not present.
i tried the following,
1. Removing all the other pedals in the setup and using the Stomp as a standalone one
2. Changing headphones
3. Changing guitars
4. Changing guitar cable
5. Removing the USB connection from the Stomp
6. Playing with an absolutely clean amp setting
7. Removed delay and reverb from the chain
8. Used an EQ block to reduce to about -4 dB
9. Removing other devices from the power supply outlet
10. Tried factory presets also
Nothing has worked. I can still hear that crackling sound. If anyone has experienced anything like this and found a solution, please let me know
Thanks in advance
