I do a bit of dealing in gear and bought a wholesales lot of 21 new Biyang pedals. Various copies of the AP-7 Delay, FL-8 Flanger and Metal-End pedals.
I found them rather noisy. It wasn't much of an issue on the Metal-End, but on the Delay and Flanger it made the pedal virtually unusable and I don't want to sell people crap. (Imagine my concern, all this money down the drain.)
Searching the web I found more people with the same problem, but no solution to the problem.
Then I noticed that the hum was gone once you touch the housing of the pedal, that means it´s a grounding problem!!!
So I hope that anyone out there Googling for problems with their Biyang pedal finds this thread.
You will find that the problem is gone once you use an amplifier with a grounded electrical cord, plugged into a grounded power socket. (Incidentaly this may help if you keep getting electrical shocks from your microphone while playing guitar.)
Allthough these are all analog, true bypass pedals that sound rather good. I do think it's a rather sh*tt* design flaw.
