Today I noticed an issue on my AXE I/O. I am not sure whether it was there from the start of if this developed over the few months I have owned it:
On Channel 1:
- Plug in a guitar from the front jack
- Set Z-Tone all the way up
- Select Passive
- Select Bold JFET
When I do this, any time I touch the controls on the box (e.g. the click produced using the presets knob, or simply tapping lightly with your fingers on the unit) translates into an audible signal. The signal can be also seen in the Audio Input meter in the control panel, and can reach up to -40dB. When using overdriven setups, this translates into a very loud sound.
This only happens using JFET/Passive combination.
Is this normal or is my unit defective?
