Peterson tuner VS11 Noise problem

Post by Bob Lawrence »

I use the second output on my Hilton pedal to feed the guitar signal to my Peterson tuner. It's usally ok for a while but gets very noisy after some use. Eventually it's so loud I have to turn it off. Anyone else experience this? Some day I'll hook an oscolliscope to it and measure the noise level.

Yes Bob, my VS-II does the same thing sometimes, but I've noticed that that it seems to happen more often if I'm using the batteries to power the unit. I don't have the problem very often using the A/C adapter. I've never bothered to get to the bottom of it since it doesn't happen often and when it does, just turning the unit off for a few seconds seems to set it straight again. I would be curious to know what causes it though....maybe someone will have the answer here.
