When iconect my effects to a daisy chain i get so much noise and even radio stations with overdrive, does this item fix that?

You use this instead of a daisy chain, to isolate the power to each pedal so it doesn't replicate any problems between pedals. It should help a lot, just use the individual power supplies they give you and don't use the chain at all anymore - that will defeat the purpose. It's also awesome because it powers pretty much any pedal you buy, 9v, 12v, 18v - individually.

In addition to the great comments below, this kind of partitioned power supply is a great improvement over daisy chaining, both in terms of cumulative signal noise and in the performance of your pedals individually. That said, I'd recommend getting the pedal power but also staying open to replacing other components that might still cause your signal to be noisy after you've changed your power supply. Cheers, and best of luck!

It sounds like your problem may be two things. One which i recommend looking in to first, your main source of power. Amps and effects especially amps like, "clean" power. Make sure your main power source has good grounds and if possible, ensure your amp in the only thing on that particular circuit. Next, be sure your amp and guitar have good grounds. Have them checked by a pro. This voodoo lab power brick is the best in the business for its purpose. Ipersonally use it to power my tuner, wah, micro amp, badass od, morley quad box, chorus and delay. It's never failed me. One last note, look in to a power conditioner. Everyone knows what they are and what they do. Good luck! It sounds like your problem may be two things. One which i recommend looking in to first, your main source of power.

i had HUGE noise problems - to the point that i actually bought a noise gate pedal (gibson SG with P90 single coils through a cranked vox AC30, several FX pedals in between, including a germanium treble boost), and this did solve my noise problems. no guarantee it'll solve yours, though.

I had the same issue. The original power cord created a bug, so I used a power cable that came with one of my effects pedals and it worked. No noise at all

This doesn't sound good with anything, in my not-so-humble opinion. A lot of excess distortion, unnecessary static and crackling. Tough to find a reasonably priced effects pedal like this that doesn't fill dead air with static. Was hoping that finally someone did it with this device, i was wrong! I use garage band now with all their effects, some of them are very clean. I returned this device immediately. :(

not exactly sure..but, you could try putting it in a different order..either in front or be hind other pedals... the way i understand it ..this thing just trims the signal -clips the highs an lows to smooth things out, so if its after certain pedals ,it'll basically erase/clip modulations,echos..etc....maybe effects distortions /muffs/drives also? not sure..

I get the same thing. Was considering returning the unit because of the aux input noise.

I honestly never did do that My pop has told me that you never connect everything to one unit for the fear of electrical damage that could happen so I advise getting PC speakers or better yet there are phono jacks I've seen on a PC system and two bookshelf speakers great sound and the cd burnt with the pc equalizer in it it sounded as if you're in the studio or there in concert so I hope this has helped you and wish you the best. By all means contact me about this Bud Lucas yerington nv

The more you have plugged in the more noise you'll get through the chain. I would recommend a dedicated power supply like the Voodoo.

Probably, I find it noisy in the effects loop of my amp. Not so much directly into input.

Well............I have a little 100W inverter I put in the cig lighter. I plugged in the tranmitter setting the Freq to 103.1. I plugged my I-pod into the trasmitter. I turned on my little sony walkman to that Freq, and wahlah. Perfect reception. Started my Chev Luv thinking of Alternator noise, or some kind of engine interference, but...............worked perfect. In my setup no noise. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

With a stock 12AX7 preamp tube it starts pushing into overdrive at about 1/3 of a turn. I have replaced mine with a groove tube 12AU7 and it is clean for 3/4 of the gain/volume control.I highly recommend this amp... just try a few tube types or a Jet City Retrovalve to see all that this amp can do.

I assume your using a direct plug from the headphone jack to the stereo and not going through your radio tuner via a transmitter. The transmitters are notorius for low volume on all MP3 players. If your going direct through the headphone jack and you are facing more than a slight degradation in voulme levels, I think you might have a connection problem at the MP3 or the stereo

It changes the gain or amplitude of the signal from the phono cartridge it does not affect the frequency response. However it does not permit you to have higher gain than the fixed gain model. Therefore it will not boost the signal over the fixed gain preamp model. Unless you think your cartridge might overdrive the preamp and cause distortion, it is not useful. Because I was unsure how my cartidge would interact with the preamp, I got this model. As it turns out my cartridge has low enough output that it did not matter, and I leave the gain all the way up. So if you are confident your cartridge or future catridges will not overdrive the preamp then you do not need it. I paid a little more to ensure this would not be a problem

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)?But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

The power supply itself dose not make any noise, but I'm don't know if it would induce a harmonic noise into your stereo equipment. Especially if you are using amplifiers.

I too get a low level interference noise from my PC. Ive tried different cables and mixers, some are better than others, but I cannot make it disappear completely because all of my cables ten to "run together" around my desk. That said shielding the signal wires from stray RF is your only option, OR turn them up really LOUD. Just kidding.

Nothing I tried that and got nothing. .i even bought a y splitter to run 2 sets of speakers and got this loud humming sound!!

It sounds like you are getting FM noise coming in. This can be from the AC wiring in your house or from the speaker wire and since you replaced your speaker wire I would suggest trying a noise supressing surge protector of some sort. Monster Cable makes some great ones for that they are rated in what they call there clean power stage Monster MP PRO 800 with Clean Power Stage 1, Surge Protection, and 8 Color-Coded Outlets High Performance Pro PowerCenter
