Hey, I now it sound's strange and no logic behind it, tbh there isnt but it does work, it doesnt matter wever its and ecu or logic gate resistor, they can store memory. honestly shorting it bridging it what ever you want to call it, it works.
dude, i swear it aint Bull the only reason why i now this is because i did it by accident trying to unscrew the pedal, iam not lying, to prove it the nxt time i get a spike in my pedal i will record it showing it works or even better you try it .
hey first post :P yeah anyway, the best way to stop your pedals from spiking is get a screw driver and place it across the pot connections but be careful, this recalibrates and wipes memory, thus making them work like new again
