Hi Bill,

I think I may be having the same problem with my VFX. I've got a buzzing sound through all of the outputs no matter what the volume level is. When I play any of the patches, they sound horrible. Some sound like I'm playing through a high gain amp. Is this the same issue you had? If so, is the Mouser A/D converter a direct fit, or will I have to do some modifications to install it?
