lazer_yazer Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Alright so im hoping i can get some good help here. So I recently upgraded from the HD500 to the 500x. As soon as i started to play on the 500X, i noticed how loud the foot switches sound. They make a terrible, loud, "click" sound when playing through an amp. Is the problem my amp or the HD500X? Should i return my 500X for another one? Or is the problem universal? As a matter of fact, any contact with the device makes that "click" sound. Pressing down on buttons, toggling switches, moving knobs, etc... Please help. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djspleen Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I haven't noticed any of that with mine. Not sure why it would make that noise with everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratman82 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I recently got the 500x and don't have this problem- switches have a standard mechanical click as per normal pedals but nothing transmitted through headphones/ amp in the way you describe.

Bushman2 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 What happens when you tap on your guitar cable with your foot? Does it make the same sound? I wonder if your HD unit is transferring any vibration through the cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazer_yazer Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Alright guys I fixed the problem. I had a headphone adapter in the aux input & it was causing the noise. Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallpt147 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 hey just wondering....what kind of adapter do you use? i have a sony one (not sure what size it is) but for some reason when i connect it into my PHONES input, i have to leave some of the adapter out, meaning that if i push the adapter all the way has the sound waaaaay to low and when i have it popped out maybe 1/2 a centimeter it sounds perfect..is there a reason for this? anybody else have this "issue"?
