Orange Squeezer Question

[Chris]

Hi -

I have built 3 OS (1 from GGG and 2 other vero versions). While the parts differ somewhat, there are a few things that are consistant.

1. While using a battery, the devices work well!
2. When I go to a wall-wart (I use a 1spot) all 3 are noisy as hell!
3. The wall-wart is good since I use it on all my other build and non-builds without issue.
4. This pretty much removes dirty power within the house based on the above.

So - are any others experiencing the same issues and if so, what did you do to resolve this?
Any advice is helpful and this is driving me nuts!

Cheers
Chris

I have a few pedals that do not like to be on a shared 1-Spot also. Are you trying the pedals alone on the 1-spot or do you have your pedal board powered at the same time? Try them by it self on the 1-Spot. Before I had my VooDoo 4X4 I used 2 1-Spots and put a few of my "not so happy" effects on its own away from my fuzz and OD pedals.

Thanks for answering! I only have the one 1spot and just tested the builds one at a time.
I did read from a post back in 2010 (an OS post to boot) that unless you are using something like a regulated power source (they mentioned the PP2 for example) that using a battery was the correct way to go.

Unfortunately  - I'm not ready to purchase something like the PP2 just for one type of pedal
So yes, I did try them one at a time and the result was the same using the 1spot and another brand to boot!

What about trying a simple PSU filter in one of the pedals like this



Might be worth a try.

Thanks for the reply!
It helped but still the noise is there albeit now I can at least turn up the volume more than I could last time.

Sorry I can't help more, we will have to leave it up to the experts here... I'm out of ideas.
