Default Help! Major Tonedexter Issue!

Love the sound of the unit.....but....I知 playing, getting a clean, perfect sound when all of a sudden- an ear splitting SCREECH comes from the unit. Lights cycle and go crazy....only way to stop it is to unplug the power

I知 pretty sure the unit is defective, but if anyone has insight maybe I could save myself the trouble of a return.

Thanks in advance
Mike

Send us a support request. We've seen this when using power supplies that were on the edge of not being beefy enough.

You need at least 500mA at 9v...
