Hello there
I have an Ibanez Bi-Mode chorus pedal, 80s i think. It has 2 outputs, and i'm using a 30watt Marshall Combo and a little Stagg Bass Amp (20watt). Now, when either 1 is connected on its own, it is fine, but as soon as you plug something into the other output, there is a very audible buzzing noise. It makes no difference to the tone of the signal, but it is just a really irritating background noise, making the pedal unusable in stereo mode. This is not a defect I dont think, because it has happened with a different chorus pedal that i tried to run in stereo. Funnily enough, at a band practise the other night, i connected it to my other guitarist's 100watt Marshall Valvestate, and a 100watt McKenzie Bass Combo, and this worked fine, with no buzzing, and a beautiful signal. I'm just baffled as to what is making it buzz through small amps.
Any advice or tips or reasons or anything would be a big help. Even if you have no solution, a reason would be more than sufficient, thanks.
