OP
Just a little follow up on this pedal. @smitty_p asked if I’d heard any “metallic” artifacts, as some other users have. My answer was no....until tonight...
Tonight, I was finishing up some laundry, and while I was waiting for a cycle to finish I fired up the amp.
I chose my SG P90 Standard from the rack, and decided to play quietly...some noodling over a loop on the Ditto. I turned the master volume down to approximately an acceptable TV volume level.
My key of choice was A minor(actually A flat minor, I guess, since I regularly tune to E flat).
Well, wouldn’t ya know...I started getting some metallic artifacts. Stuff that I definitely was not getting at normal rehearsal, or live performance, volumes. It was some kind of ugly too...when I did any bends to around A6(14th fret G/F# string...somewhere around the 30th harmonic to 60Hz @around 1.8kHz).
To be honest, this set up didn’t require use of the Hum Debugger at all. The level was far too low to have enough hum to care about, but the pedal was on at power up, so I didn’t think twice about it.
The artifacts are not audible when the volume is increased to approach rehearsal levels. Levels where the pedal is desired...and they seem to only show up on certain, higher, notes when playing at lower volumes.
When I get a chance, I will record some samples, and see what’s what with this. Tonight was the only time I’ve experienced this...so far...and I’ve been playing with this pedal quite a bit, as it has made my P90s even more fun at ludicrous gain, and volume, levels.
