My DD20 has developed an annoying high pitched hiss... even when running on it's own Boss PSA or just batteries.

Even if I plug the outputs straight to my any amp or mixer (with nothing plugged to it's inputs) , the noise is there.
It's coming through on any recordings I do as well.

Very, very, annoying.

None of my other pedals/equipement are doing this.

Any thoughts?

How old is it? IIRC, you have had it for a looooong time?

Had it since whenever they first came out.

So mine is probably one of the first ones.

Hah... i can't find when that was! How many years old is it?

I ask because that sort of hiss is often a semiconductor (opamp, FET, etc) on the way out because it is "old". But I wouldn't expect to have that in something less than 5-10 years old.

I know... I was beginning to worry.

Normally I check all the cables, routing, etc...
I don't know why I didn't do it this time
