    I have the same problem with my b9 pedal. seems a little less with the provided wall wart, but it’s always there. A good noise gate almost takes care of it.

    I’m going to try a few other things, too. I’m wondering if there might be something wrong with the jack on that voicebox- like maybe it’s not grounded right. Like I said, I bought it used, so who knows if it’s been tampered with? Do people mod those pedals? The organ pedal… well… I’m prolly gonna grin and bear it. Guitarist I used to play with had a Wiggler, and it was very noisy. “small price to pay for cool” he would say…

    The power supply I’ve been using was the JP-01 by Joyo. I was poking around on their site the other night, and I don’t believe it to be still in production. Reviews on Amazon were pretty good for the unit- not stellar, but most of the complaints folks had were regarding the life span of the item. The Organ pedal whines with either the power supply provided by EHX or the Joyo 10 outlet unit I’m using, although, admittedly, it’s somewhat less when I use the provided 9.6v Wall Wart. This pedal, I have never used with a different wall adapter. The Voice Box has been tried with the Joyo, the power supply I got with the organ pedal, and the power supply my bassist got with his mel9 pedal, to the same effect.

    I have noticed a reduction in noise level in the organ pedal, when I use it in the effects loop on my amp. Not sure what that might signify, but the thing doesn’t track too well when I do that (as the manual implied).

    In retrospect, all the videos I saw of the voice box in use had it being pretty much the only effect in the chain. Is that the key? Should I route organ/fuzz/chorus/phaser/delay/gate/compressor through the effects chain and have the voice box stand alone before the amplifier? Or would it be preferable to split my guitar signal, and have one branch of it dead-end at the voice box? These pedals are pretty much the coolest things on earth, and I REALLY want to utilize them both.
