I have a UK spec one my parent’s picked up while overseas (I’m in Australia). I’m tracking down a power supply that matches the specs myself as using a UK-AU adapter is annoying and bulky. I’m about to embark on building a pedal board with power board built it, and using an adapter for the power supply just wont do.
The power supply is a 7.5 Volt AC/AC adapter 400mA, and pretty sure it’s negative tip.
Well I tried the pedal one last time in my effects loop and had far greater success! I must have had it hooked up the wrong way last time.
Now in the effects loop on the normal setting I notice a cut in the noise from my power point, etc, and my high gain tone seems to stay untouched by the pedal. On the strong setting there is a little less hum, and a little of the funny reverb type sound occurring in my tone, but it is barely noticeable now.
I’ll have to try it again tonight when the load on the electrical circuits in the house are far greater, but I think I might have resolved my problems now.
I think it’s funny that Electro Harmonix recommend the front of the amp for best effect, but I defintely found better results in the loop. YMMV
Yeah I’ve tried all that, plus FX loop it appears to do nothing but block all sound. I hope there is a solution. If only the pedal came with a dial to adjust the level the effect was running at.
