Got some unwanted buzzin'

Do you have it on true-bypass or buffered mode? If it's on buffered mode, I guess a buffer would solve your problem.

Huh... I have it on... whatever it came out of the box with. Do I need to open it up to check the mode? I'm guessing probably...

Now, for a buffer, I do have a Boss tuner, but I usually keep it at the beginning of my chain (for no good reason, really - that's just how I've always done it). Would it be enough for me to just shift it to the end of my chain, or do I need an "always on" buffer pedal. If so, do people have opinions on who makes a good buffer pedal / pedal buffer?

Does it have trails when you switch it off? If so, it's on buffered mode.
I don't have a flash back but this is how the Hall of Fame works so I'm assuming it's the same.

Wouldn't hurt to try the tuner at the end either way

Ah, right. Duh. I'm new to the whole dedicated delay thing... no, it cuts off sharply, so it's not in buffered mode. But as I mentioned, it only cuts the buzz when it's activated, so maybe if it's in true bypass mode there's a buffer going when it's engaged.

Good point on the tuner - I will try it just as an experiment. Also, I just found a decent talkbass thread on this very subject which has a list of suggestions and links: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/best- ... er-767505/
