i have an MF-101 filter that produced a really annoying high pitched noise at any settings, no matter where i plugged it in the house. I thought it wouldn’t hurt to clean it since these beasts are getting old. I simply opened it, removed the board from the pedal and cleaned it with a contact cleaner spray + cleaned every knobs and selector (spray inside the tiny holes).
results : no more high pitched noise ! i thought it would be useless, i was wrong.
