Getting a Radio Station on My Small Stone

Hi everyone,

I recently started picking up a radio station on my Small Stone, while it sounds cool coming in all phasery, it's not really what I'm looking for.  :icon_lol:

I have isolated to happening when the Color switch is flipped down. When up, I don't get the interference, but when flipped down I get the radio station. I do have a gain mod on this pedal to accomodate for the volume drop, and I thought that might have something to do with it. But if it did, I would think I would get the interference regardless of the position of the color switch. The pedal is true bypassed and I get no radio stations when the pedal is bypassed.

Appreciate any advice you can offer...

thanks!

ha yeah, i've been getting the same thing. Not sure which side of the color switch is "down" for you, im assuming that would be the less thicker one, but its actually the other way around for me.  Sometimes if I move the cap on the switch a little, or tilt some of the wires connected to the switch the radio signal changes. In some positions I get the signal louder then my guitar, but I just have to move it around until it stops.

I got radio on a May Queen pedal. A small disc ceramic capacitor across the input cured it - I used 47pf which has no audible effect on the signal (not with my hearing anyhow).
