Sorry I wasn’t clear! Or maybe I’m misunderstanding, also very easily possible hahaI haven't heard of this happening before, so you're going to need to do some detective work. The first thing would be to see if it's coming from inside or outside of the box. Unplug the cable from the function switch jack and see if the taps are still audible.
Is it all switches, or just the tap tempo switch?Sorry I wasn’t clear! Or maybe I’m misunderstanding, also very easily possible haha
It’s not from an external footswitch, I meant the footswitches on the PBC6X. When I step on them/use the tap tempo assigned switch, say, while have a high gain or fuzz sound, I can hear the clicks in the amp. A friend just sent me a recording we just did for a church and the taps were being repeated by the dotted 1/8 note delay (using a compressor into overdrive into delay/verb in this case). I’ve been playing at home and I don’t get that. So it happens at this church and a couple other venues.
I haven’t noticed if it’s EVERY footswitch but it’s definitely not just the switch I’ve assigned to tap tempo. I basically have a preset and when I select it, it opens up a local page of IAs. From there I can then turn on any loops, send midi CCs to HX stomp, tap tempo, etcIs it all switches, or just the tap tempo switch?
Do you hear anything microphonic if you tap the case?I haven’t noticed if it’s EVERY footswitch but it’s definitely not just the switch I’ve assigned to tap tempo.

There’s a slight pop if I’m using fuzz and I turn on other loops, that’s somewhat expected. But there’s also this “metallic” sounding tap tap, almost like something is microphonic. It doesn’t sound like electronic “pops”, it sounds like the physical switch taps are coming through, if that makes sense?
I finally got around to doing more testing and if I tap on the PBC6X enclosure on the right side, near the input jack and where my tap tempo button is (footswitch 4, bottom right most switch) it comes out of the amp. As I move to the left, it isn’t as loud. It is Most apparent tapping on the right side and across the top of the input and the loop send/return pairs. If I have delay/reverb on you can hear it repeated.Do you hear anything microphonic if you tap the case?
Following up after yesterday's post. I dropped in another PBC6X I have here, loaded my settings, and it works perfectly! tapping on the casing makes no noise, tap tempo makes no noise no matter how much gain I use.Do you hear anything microphonic if you tap the case?
It's unfortunate that you ended up with one that had a problem, but good news that you have one that the problem is isolated to one PBC.

I assume mine has to go in for repair? How do we go about that?
thanks for your help troubleshooting this!
