K200B Harmonic Clipper [message #12724]

I rigged up a temporary footswitch for my recently purchased K200B-3 and was able to test out the Selective Boost and the Harmonic Clipper effects. The Boost works fine...I'm not so sure if the Clipper is working correctly, though.

I know not to expect a great distortion effect, however, I'm getting what sounds almost like an oscillating volume change that seems to vary with how hard I hit the strings. The amount of distortion/effect also seems to waver as the notes sustain and it sometimes seems like they decay faster than without the effect turned on.

Is this pretty much how the Harmonic Clipper sounds or is there most likely a failing component? Any usual suspects if this is indeed an issue with the amp? Everything else seems to work great and the amp sounds fine otherwise.

Thanks.
