So I'm having a problem with the Fortin Zuul pedal creating a high pitch whistle in my signal. I'm using it with a Chase Tone Secret Preamp. When I use the Zuul to try and clamp down the signal, it adds a high pitch noise. I've tried different amps, different cables, different power supplies (batteries too) and nothing helps. It doesn't matter if I am using the little side switch on the Zuul either. It really sucks since I like the Zuul, but it doesn't like this echoplex preamp Even when using the Zuul with the knob turned up higher to remove the noise and gate faster, it is there in the sound before it clamps down. Also, when turning up the Zuul (and other gates) really high, it changes the feel due to the quicker clamping...which is why I use it around 9 o'clock.
Note that I mis-spoke in the video saying the Secret Preamp is causing the noise... it isn't. With the Zuul out of the signal, there is no high pitch noise. The Zuul is the issue.
