The TCE Helix is advertised as "True Bypass", but I get a low volume, high pitched whine out of it when it's turned off. If I remove it from the effects loop, the whine goes away.
Anyone else experiencing noise from the new crop of TCE "Toneprint" pedals?

| Bob, I'm using both the Flashback 2 and the Hall of Fame 2 toneprint pedals and they are both dead quiet. |

| Bob, try it in a different location in the signal chain. |

| I had a digital pedal (drawing a blank on what it was) that gave off an electronic whine when turned off. It introduced electronic interference into the other pedals sharing the power supply daisy chain. |

| Have you tried the unit with a different amp, with different cords, or in a different location? |

That might be what's happening here. I moved it to a different position in the pedal board and the noise got quieter.
It's not loud enough to be noticed on stage, but it would be awful in a recording studio.
