I have just completed a conversion of a reissue DR to a hand wired BFDR and have an issue that is driving me nuts. The amp's normal channel sounds fine always. The amps vibrato channel, however, sounds fine unless I plug in the reverb pan's "In" cord. Then I get a crackling noise in the output signal when driving the amp hard. This amp is an exact replica of a BFDR except for one thing; and that is I am using the original reissue style 1/4" TRS jack and foot pedal for switching the effects instead of the two RCA jacks and plugs like the original BFDR.
I have replaced the reverb trannie, swaped tubes, rerouted wires put two original style RCA jacks on the back panel like the original BFDR in leau of the PCB jack assembly that came with the reissue, all to no avail. If I plug in the "Out" reverb pan cord by itself, everything is still fine. It is only when I plug in the "In" cord that I get the noise and it is there even if the "Out" cord is unplugged. I am now thinking about replacing the 1/4" TRS jack with two RCA jacks like the original to see if that helps.
Has anyone ever experienced this before?
