Members Nathanisking Posted January 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well the humming was from my basement lights so the humming is out of the question Things I've determined: -Plug all the pedals in the DC Brick and run them in front of the amp, no channel popping but the pedals do pop when engaged -Plug all the pedals in the DC Brick and run them in the loop, no channel popping but the pedals do pop when engaged -If I have my Wah, Phaser and Flanger plugged into the DC brick and the Carbon Copy into the loop with a battery, no channel popping but the pedals in connected to the DC brick to pop, not loudly but it is noticeable Would switching to a Voodoo Lab power supply help maybe plugging all the pedals into the DC brick since it doesn't have isolated ports?

Members nwright Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 The DC Brick doesnt have isolated power for each outlet, so something like the Voodoo Labs (which does have isolated outlets) may get rid of the popping. I use a VHT valvulator and it has isolated outputs. I tried a 1 spot and a DC brick when I built a newer smaller pedalboard and they both had noise issues. Isolated outs is the way to go, IMO.

Members primeholy Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Sounds like a boost will do what you want. I really like the mxr micro amp. Seems like it doesnt color your sound or cut frequencies as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably end up having to get the Pedal Power 2 + because I have a Pedaltrain board, but I want to make sure it will work with all my pedals, and if it will kill the popping issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
