Moog Music Forum

Hi all, this is my first post here, I'm just hoping for some advice or a solution to this problem I'm having!
I'm using the cluster flux as a guitar pedal and powering it with a Strymon Zuma and reverse polarity adaptor. It's completely quiet when bypassed, but when I turn it on there is this hissing noise, almost like the sound of wind, but trebly. Is there something wrong with the pedal or is it a power issue? Or is that just a thing that happens with these?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, welcome to the forum!

First thing first: is this hiss new?
Second thing second: I would try powering it with a dedicated PSU, if possible an original one.

Hissing with Cluster Flux is common. Try a different power supply (original Moog or high-quality 9V DC) to rule out power issues. Ground loop might be the culprit - try plugging everything into the same power strip. Good luck!

Sounds like a power issue! The Cluster Flux can be picky about power supplies. Try using the original Moog adapter or a known-good, isolated power supply before suspecting a pedal issue.
