My Sovtek Big Muff Pi that I've had since 1994 has seemed to have broken in a good way. It still transmits the sound, just with a HUGE hum in the background. I tried turning the tone knob down from the bassier side, and the hum never stops but when it gets to the middle halfway inbetween treble and bass, it starts to make this crazy sound, the hum in the background starts to let just a little fuzz in for a tiny moment, and that moment seems to get bigger as it gets towards treble so you can set it how you want. The sound really " Bleeds in " is a good way to describe how it sounds.It sounds alot like something that SY would use or Ronald Jones if you know your Flaming Lips history.
Anyways, I can't get it to go back to how it used to sound originally. This would mean it's broken right?
One more question. I have a pedal that doesn't have a battery in it, but it just stopped working, and simply won't light up when stomped and it's only a 3 year old pedal. Does that mean it's just blown out? I think when I just hooked up my pedalboard, the adaptor powering the board may have blew out inside or overcharged and the pedalboard just stopped working, and when i plugged it back in, two pedals either didn't work or sounded fucked up. Could that maybe have caused burnouts or something?
