I might try to sell it if someone wants a Slö. I also found a thread for this same problem, and Walrus themselves said it was the chip causing it: https://www.reddit.com/r/guitarpedals/comments/bq4cny/walrus_slo_and_white_noise_issues/ Thank you for the advice, though!

Nope, I haven't dropped it. Doing some research into it, i think i found the problem; the FV-1 chip in the pedal itself. Think I have to find a different reverb pedal.

One of my favorite pedals that I own is the Walrus Audio Slö, but recently, I've noticed that there is a considerable hiss coming from it (I've tested my patch cables, other pedals, power supply, amp, etc.). My first though would be to use a noise gate; however, I know they will clamp down on the tail end of the reverb. Anyone have any recommendations?

Might be an MIJ Squier Bullet, like the one from this thread:

Maybe try something like the La Baye 2x4 guitars that DEVO used. It's about as light as a guitar with a wood body can get.

Looks to me like like a Fender Lead II. The body and headstock look Fender-ish, although I can't see if the Fender logo is on the headstock. The Lead II is the only fender guitar that I can think of that resembles a strat, but with two single coil pickups (which, in the video, appear to be slanted, just like on a Lead II).
