Hi guys...!
A few months ago i decided to build a krank distortus maximus clone... a few day ago i finished the proyect and it works! But when i turn on the pedal some kind of noise apear... is somethin' like UUUUUUUUUUHM... in that moment i tried the pedal with a strat (single coil) so i changed to an other guitar with humbuckers and the same problem... the same uuuuuuuuuuuuhm but a bit louder.... so i checked the pcb and i don't found any problem... when i play the guitar sounds the distortion but when the note decay again UUUUUUUUUUUUUUMH... no hi gain feedback.... only UUUUUUUUUUUHM.... i don't have idea what was the error... somobody have any idea? Thank's for the help!!!!!!! Cheers!

If it hums like a non-humbucker, put it in a metal box and check all your grounds.

Well i did that and the same problem... the uuuuhm isn't like pickup huuuuum... is more louder... when i turn the gain or bass knobs up the noise is really loud...

did you add the 'green' jumpers...?.

and use shielded wire on input?.
