RC-2 Users: does yours whistle?

[006]

when i use the dc brick to power it (it's under the tuner), there's a high pitched hum. battery, it's ok. can't find a standard adaptor right now - wondering if it's the brick, or if this is inherent to the rc-2?

in my experience, the rc2 likes to be on its own power supply. whenever i daisy chained mine it made noise like that.

PP2 FTW

DC Brick's outputs are not isolated; a PP2, or as you noted- a separate power supply (batteries won't last long) will solve this problem. Its just a high-draw digital effect, and they tend to need isolated power for clean and quiet operation.

yeah, that makes sense. I'll have to live with it, and use batteries when needed.

I use the "1spot" and I don't get any unwanted noise. I usually only have 2 other pedals going at the same time.

Have you been looping whistles?

[Ambient Exposure]

My old rig had 2 RC-2's which were both powered on my T-rex Fueltank without any noise issues?

(the fueltank isn't isolated, it runs 8 outputs @ 9vDC, 500mA total)

I can often hear clock noise or something like that in mine. No it's not the drum track. It's a high pitched thing. I can't hear it unless it's dead silent otherwise and nothing else is playing through it. First loop recorded and it's 1000% drowned out.
