What is that great sounding FF problem ?

[petemoore]

  I'm certain I'm not the only one who's had a FF problem that sounded great.
  You know it if you've had it, greater compression, a volume drop [almost enough output to get by with], and the sunk feeling because it isn't 'right'.
  Just wondering, with the many posts I've read of FF trials and troubles, in particular the ones stating 'sounds great, but', whether it's ever been ferreted down to 1 main oddball type common problem which produces the 'wrong by technicality' / 'right by sound' to an identifiable mod.
   Seems like a loose wire, which I've been repeatedly opening the box to fix [I thought it was loose socket wipers, parts are glued in now], it seems fixed now, and doesn't want to break again...typical ?...lol
   I decided to leave fixed well enough alone again, simply because twiddling wires around repeatedly causes problems of it's own, apparantly it wants me to think it is working in a stable manner again...without telling the cause..could have been one of the pots had a wire strand in it too...whatever it is/was, it seemed to be offboard for certain this time.
   I think the sound is good enough to want to know why/how it is had, other than the loss of some output it's quite an enjoyable play.

i've heard a few really cool glitches on the FF by running your fingers around the pcb! maybe i was hitting a bit of pos and the input together. try touching the input line with a finger and some other things on the board (: it was a useable sound
