Here's the video to demonstrate the sputtery breakup. I tried to vary my picking strength picking to show how it's responding to each. I can record again with different amounts of postgain but I think the video shows that postgain has an effect too. It's pregain that introduces it though, postgain only exaccerbates it (level and tone aswell IIRC). The mic didn't really pick up the ongoing "pitterpatter" very well when not playing. You can kinda hear it at 1:00, but it's much more pronounced IRL. When my amp starts buzzing (mentioned below), you can hear it alot better. Obviously at 5:10 and probably elsewhere (didn't watch over the whole vid) it is rather pronounced and a better representation of what it's like (although I was on a high postgain setting, it doesn't have to be high postgain for it to be this pronounced even though the vid doesn't really show it).
Anyway, just let me know if this is normal. There are fuzz sounds I can get from the pedal beyond the high pregain or mid/pregain+postgain settings that don't have the breakup. And I can still use the sputtery settings as long as i'm not picking too softly or letting notes ring.
Also, I didn't record this, but I assume the long reverb setting feeds back quite easily at about midway on the reverb mix and depth?
The "buzzing" sound first heard at 1:55 isn't from the pedal. I think it's 60 cycle hum. I've had it for a while and yet to work out what the problem is. Moving the amps to a different outlet soon, hopefully that'll fix it but I doubt it. There seemed to be some sort of weird noise issue coming through on the recording too. Gotta sort both out cause I wanna do some home recording early next year:/
Anyway - I didn't try to record the heartbeat, but after recording I realized you can barely hear it. I think it may be more pronounced on the other amp (playing through a different one), or may just be realizing just how minor it is, or may be because the amp was quiet (it's late here and didn't want to wake up the neighbourhood).
At the end of the vid I tried to record the echo degrader to capture what I was talking about with the degrade knob. Was noisy when you turn it, which I demonstrated, but you said that was normal so all good. I tried to capture the other stuff I talked about, but I really need to let it feed back a lot to get degredation at 10:00. As mentioned it's late here so didn't want to be too noisy and play for too long so gave up trying (so the echo stuff at the end isn't important and don't really need to bother watching).

not a massive enough issue to ship back and forth internationally BUT if I can fix myself I would be happy
