noise and hum with power supply

Post by Manhell »

Hi there,

I got a TRex chameleon and yesterday I realized that this unit hums when on and when it is close to the cables that go into my Strymon Timeline and into the Fx loop it gets the hum to the cables.

Is this the unit or the cables, what to do? I am now selling it to get a Voodoo Lad PP digital

This setup didn't buzz...

Sure it's a 4x4 in that pic, but the Digital is just the four high current sections of a 4x4.

Thanks for that John, I apreciated you taking the time to show a test.

The Trex is gone, sold it yesterday, new digital on the way,



P.S. I can power boss pedals in daisy chain as long as it doesn't exceed the 400mA of the output right?
