disturbing distortion sound! help!!!

[petemoore]

whenever i played with other pedals it never happened.
  I'm pretty certain an exact difference between the clones and 'other pedals' is:
  The Clones have no buffers
  The 'other pedals' have buffers
  Independant group study of the FM...my pedals plain, flat out, didn't hold a candle to the internal distortion and clean sounds available on a FM25.
  The amp Rokked a 4x12 cab Hard, precise crunch control, sounded great @ ~ volume w/the 1x12'' in it.
  I surmized...
  The clean channels clean has analog processing in the preamp, and tone shaping tailored to the output amp/speaker...boosting an Fuzzing on this channel rendered excessive noise, wierd distortion byproducts that you've described, a general unrulyness regardless of effect setting during distortion effect use. Not too bad at ~unity boost settings, almost as good as the plain amp. Phaser was cool !
  The Dist channel of the amp, as I said sounds great as is, and with phase, but any added boosting or distorting of the signal before the internal processing was rediculously noisy,, unruly, unstable and unusable.
  I didn't get a chance to 'Shaka Tube' the input on the FM, only the LM386 amp.
  Valvestate, isn't that Mosfet? All Solid State?...I'd try working with that one, IIRC some reports of VS use depicted good/great results with effects.

hello people. i found out what was wrong at the end. i went to all the music stores with my guitar and played with the original pedals. the sound was exactly the same but without the disturbing sound. so when i came back home and put my fender amp's volume to 2 i realized that the problem was so simple that i couldnt ever found out without luck. since then i was testing my pedals with the vol set to 1/2 or generally less than 1 coz the amp is very loud and didnt want to disturb the other flats. but the amp has 2x12inche speakers and its impossible to bring out all the sequences if not in a 'high volume' so i wasnt gettin any of the bass sequences of the speakers but just a bit of the middle and lots of tremble. thats why i had this problem. so silly! anyway. thanx a lot for the help

Do me a favor if you can though-

1) Record some sound clips with the volume up a little

2) Pick just a single note- don't bend it and dampen all the other strings.  Does it make a 'warbling' or 'tremolo' type sound?  In a few of these clips, it sounded like the string was doing that.  Having the pickups too close to the strings can cause that.  It won't cause the lack of bottom end like you were getting there, but it will still ruin an otherwise great sound.

No hurry!

I'm just curious to see how these pedals sound one-after-another. 

Sleep!
