Hey all, I've been lurking around here for a while but thought I'd post with a question.

After attempting to install some new op-amps from the fromel mod kit for the Boss Ge-7, it's not working in a ... weird way. No bypass, no clean, just a loud buzz like something's connected to ground. The weird thing is whenever i depress the toggle all the way, the bypass signal comes through just fine. This isn't my first mod or even build, but I haven't really messed with buffered bypass before: does this sound like anything you've experienced? I'll probe it out tomorrow but figured I'd check if i'm missing something obvious.

Thanks in advance!

Was the unit working reliably before you did the mods?
