Pedalboard => Hum Problem, Voodoo Lab PP2+ & Patchcable & Looper => Hum Options

[Frankster]

Hi!

I feel like I'm starting to go crazy

I have a noise problem with my new pedalboard and I think I found the guilty one.

My test objects are
- Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus
- Moen GEC8 Jr
- 2 x 0,6m Cordial cable
- OCD Pedal

The patchcable isn´t very close to the power supply but I get a hum

Here is the Video:


In YouTube there are people who put a pedal directly beneath or above the power supply, but I even have a chance to place the pedal near the PP2+

The problem isn´t a pedal, the problem is that the power supply beam like hell and the cable is an antenna.
If the pedal is directly connected to the amp => no hum
If the pedal is connected to the looper => hum

I´ve tested two loopers
- JOYO
- Moen GEC8 Jr

I´ve tested different cables
I´ve tested different pedals

Is this normal ?

I have no plan what I could do

Many Thanks
Frankster

Hey Phil,

I think that you should try to plug the ME80 into the 'Return' of the Blackstar, otherwise the preamp of the ME80 and the Blackstar preamp will clash and that tone will not be the best choice.

I always do that with my AMTSS20 - plug it either straight into the audio interface when using it to record/rehease home or in the Return of the existing amp at the venue, when I used it onstage Try it and let us know how it goes, ok?
