So I’ve been having an issue with a tonebender mkiii fuzz pedal of mine.

I’ll switch the pedal on and play for a while and it sounds fine. When I switch it off it will sometimes start buzzing, if I touch my hand to the switch the buzzing stops, so I know it’s a ground issue.

If I switch it back on and off the buzzing goes away which leads me to think the problem is in the foot switch.

Has anyone else run into this kind of issue and do you know of a fix?
