Help!

My Seymour Duncan Doubleback compressor suddenly stopped compressing and now sounds like some kind of crazy overdrive...

Bought the pedal a week ago here in the classifieds on BC, it worked great for 4 days untill today.

Now it sounds like a glitchy distorton with some sort of hi-cut on almost all the settings.

I isolated the pedal from the chain and bypassed everything sounds normal, but as soon as I activate the compressor I get a loud hum, an inmense volume boost (even with the volume and sustain knobs almost all the way down!)

and some sort of distortion that varies from a heavy sounding overdrive to some sort of bitcrusher-esque sound... I've already opened it up to look for loose wires/contacts, but can't see anything wrong with it... 😥

 

I've uploaded a video to show you how it sounds like:
