Today I purchased the Pitch Fork from Electro Harmonix! I initially placed it at the beginning of my pedalboard, right after my tuner. It worked great!
But when I engaged my distortion, I got an overwhelming amount of high-pitch frequency.
The distortion, when on all by itself, had a crazy amount of static/noise.
When I removed the Pitch Fork from the signal path, there was almost no excess noise from the distortion, as normal.
Note: Each of my pedals was isolated through my Voodoo Lab 4x4 Power Supply. Clean, isolated power made me rule out that as the issue.
I ended up solving the problem (sort of). When I placed the Pitch Fork at the end of the signal path, (after my distortion), the distortion operated normally.
If the Pitch Fork is not even engaged, how can the pedal affect the sound of my distortion when placed before?
And why is it that when the Pitch Fork is after the distortion, not even engaged, the distortion hiss goes back to normal?
