noisy ep-2

hi ppl

just noticed something a little baffling.. im getting some noise (in about the halfway position) from my ep-2 when in 4 pole mode (MF101) but NOT in 2 pole :confused:
its kinda like a noise youd expect from an old potentiometer (why am i thinking Vox wah ? lol)

any ideas anybody?? ive only had the pedal a couple of months… :confused:

thanks in advance guys :smiley:
