Greets.
I was bish boshing around and I hit my DD-7 and I heard it go bang... Hit it again... Bang. The signal seemed to be unaffected but I unplugged other pedals & daisy chain and I went Guitar > DD-7 (PSA Powered) > Amp. And it worked fine... Unsure what happened I swapped back to a full setup using daisy chain coming of NS-2 powering my DD-7, Small Stone and OD-20 and it worked fine again... The pops just stopped. However there seems to be a (TINY) bit more background noise than before on the delayed signal.
I've never used my Small Stone through my daisy chain before (Using Visual Sound adaptor to make it tip positive) which I thought could've caused a problem but it was suggested to me by people who've had no problems with it...
Any ideas why it popped? Even stranger why it stopped popping after I swapped and swapped back to single pedal multiple pedals? |

Ok in my mind i'm hearing huge explosions  What exactly do you define as bang or pop? I'm assuming it came through the amp and not physically from the DD-7? |

I suppose the closest thing I can compare it to is someone popping a balloon with a cigarette... And yeah the sounds coming from the amp. Physically the pedal is as good as new. |

Ok well im not quite sure what that could be as the signal in the DD series always travels through the AD DA converters and the chips (atleast thats how i always understood it) The only thing i can imagine it to be is a capacitor discharging.
Edit: aparantly the DD-7 does have an analog bypass signal, http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=475484&page=3

Is a "capacitor discharge" something to be worried about? Is it something that can be avoided some how?  |

| It's just a thought its nothing to worry about i suppose unless it happens again. maybe the others might have other ideas as to what it might be. |

| This sounds maybe more like it is a plug-jack problem. Maybe wiggle the plugs and see if it helps/makes it worse? |

Like I said it resolved itself, but it could've been that (When I plugged guitar into it direct I obviously swapped lead) But would a loose cable in the input jack make the pop? |

Can do. It would have to be a really dirty connection though, so it seems a bit unlikely when I think about it.
Did you completely power down the pedal then power it back up in the middle of your changes? If it was a software glitch, that would probably have fixed it.

Yeah I did, Unplugged daisy chain and used solely PSA when checking it on its own. |

DD-7 weird sound, but it resolved itself...
