Easy Solution To Fix Noisy Guitar Pedals

Музыка

Inexpensive "universal" AC/DC power adaptors can cause all kinds of noise issues. In this video, I'll show a common "problem" I hear about. Once we dig down to the root of the cause we most commonly find that the noise is due to the power supply not filtering the power as much as we need it to in an audio device.

    DUDE, my man. Thank you so much for this video. I have a huge chain of pedals, and I tracked down the noise to two pedals. I tried putting in a buffer and a noise gate, but I couldn't get rid of that noise. I watched your video today, and i realized I had 3 different power supplies running through my pedals, all through a daisy chain. Once you said it almost always can be tracked through the power supply, I took out the other two and use my good one, and then attached all the daisy chain connectors to each last connector, and made a huge chain of power connectors, using the same power supply and that eliminated all of my noise from those two pedals. I got almost all my pedals now sounding like true bypass. This video was a huge help, thank you.

    Had a pedal that the power supply made noise via DC input jack, but when hooked to the battery snap it was perfectly quiet. Sometimes that may be a solution for certain pedals. The one I had with that problem was digital if that matters. And whether cheap power or not that's what worked for me.

    Thanks for sharing this vital info! About 2 years ao I bought an Electro-Harmonix Crayon pedel. Until I ran across your KZread post the pedal been collecting dust as I thought it was defective, as I was utilizing same old 9volt transformer that I'd been using for years. After watching your video inserted a 9-volt battery into it and it worked fine! I serched in my box of electronic parts and found different 9-volt transformer and pedal works fine with it as well...THANKS!!!

    The universal one is a multi tapped transformer and the proper one is a digital switching power supply. It's much easier to get higher current from a switching supply than a transformer too. So depending on how many of what kind of pedals you have in your chain, you can really start taxing a transformer one while it's not even halfway loaded on the switcher.

    I have a question, I connected my boss chromatic tuner tu-2 to boss distortion DS-1 to a ISP Decimator II noise pedal to a vox 50 watt combo amp. When I plug em together, I connect my guitar to the tuner that connects to distortion pedal to noise pedal to amp & I get these random radio feedback that dramatically takes over my entire guitar sound & volume to a point I hear the news more clearly than my guitar. What is the issue & what should I do exactly? Is there an order of pedals I should be using instead or? 🤨

    Another issue u can sometimes have is pedals in both the front end and the effects using the same supply. Some amps the loop and the input jack have a different ground potential and the common power supply creates a ground loop. I always use a separate supply for loop pedals and front of amp pedals. And I've had issues with so called quality pwr supplies too. And times when a pwr supply will run any one pedal fine but when u daisy chain a couple u get noise, then I switched supplies and they chained fine.

Switching up all my cheap universal power adaptors for the proper brand name power adaptors of my pedals really does work, all the electrical static noise that I thought was normal all my life is now gone. I also noticed one day that the cheap universal adaptor I was using would arch whenever the 9 Volt cable on the adaptor would touch the metal casing of the guitar pedal, after seeing those sparks I knew I had to stop using them and follow the advice in this video.

    Love your channel Brian. So, I’ll play in a church that has light dimmers all over the place. Those dimmers seem to create a lot of line noise and every time I press down on my volume pedal I find out just how much noise there is. Going through a clean power filter helps a little, but I’ve just decided to go through a isolated output, switching power supply from Truetone. I’m hoping that this will quiet down the five petals that now share a common power supply via my boss BCB - 60 paddleboard. Wish me luck!

  • @markhammer643

    One of the difficulties with wall-warts is that they always come as sealed black blobs. If you purchase one that is not explicitly designed to power pedals, you will likely have no idea just how well-regulated it is, and believe me there are a LOT of ways something can be only minimally regulated, have tons of hum, and still "count" as an AC-to-DC convertor. If they were clear, and you could see that it had/lacked the components that would indicate good regulation and a smooth DC output, or if you could open the box and see a schematic, that would be one thing. But basically the only info a wall-wart is going to give you is how many volts (I'll take 9, please), how much current capacity, and which contact is hot and ground. That's a bit like buying an amp and all you know is that it has a volume control, some sort of speaker, and an "on" switch. Now, having said that, cheap wall-warts you can buy from the "variety box" at the pawn shop CAN be made to provide clean smooth hum-free power with the addition of a few cheap components. But unless you know what you're doing, I'd recommend against it. Besides, as others here have noted, many power-bricks provide decent isolation between outputs, which can be important in today's pedalboards. If you're running a circa-1982 pedalboard, daisy-chain away, my friend. If you have even ONE digital pedal on your board, though, do yourself a favour and spring for a power brick.

    Great video man, I just have some questions left. How does using ground electrity translate to this? I know for instance if you don't have good quality speaker cables, an ungrounded pc can create noises and crackles, by moving the mouse. I am quite new to the realm of pedals, t one thing I notice is, that the distortion can create a short or airy noise, even when no sound is going through, and the noise redux is at max. Dist off is no to hardly no noise at all. My question is, is that an artifact of old gear/ or distortion pedals in general? Coming from the digital DAW world, I noticed that the pc has one ' advantage', it hardly knows any noise, compared to working with (old) gear

    Hi Mark. Same pedal, same problem here. I built a pedalboard, and the Demon altough is a very good clone, makes a lot of noise, even turned off. I use 3 adapters with daisy chains for 7 pedals. The adapters I use are from Donner, and they have worked great, and the Demon when is pluged without the daisy chain, is almost quiet, with the normal hum an overdrive creates, but there is a looper pedal I have that needs its own power supply or it becomes a noisy nightmare, so the Demon is used with the Daisy chain. I just bought two other pedals (a buffer and one reverb) so I bought another adapter. This time I bought a Dunlop adapter to feed only the Demon believing that because the adapter was from a great company it was going to work better than the Donner ones. Honestly, was a waste of money (for now, hoping that it works with the new pedals that I haven't tried) . It makes a really anoying noise, I believe like the one you describe, and the solution was to stay with only the Donner one plugged in the Demon. If you have the oportunity, try the Donner adapter before buying it. (Sorry if there are some mistakes. English is not my first language).

    you can also put ferrite beads on the cord right before it goes into the pedal and that should clean up any noise. You can usually get a 5 pack from mouser or DX Engineering for about 10 bucks.

    Would it be possible to make a video on pedals "popping" when they're engaged/disengaged, what causes it and how to troubleshoot/fix it? I've just built a board and basically, all of my pedals make a popping noise when I switch them on/off and it doesn't go away by repeatedly switching them on and off like some suggest works, at stage volume switching on my wah is like a shotgun going off. I'm using a strymon zuma power supply so I'm pretty confident it's not a power issue, going into a hotrod deluxe. My two strymon pedals (bigsky/timeline are in the effects loop with everything else (friedman gold 72 wah>Polytune2>ernie ball volume pedal 40th anniversary>Keeley D7M drive> friedman be-od deluxe>ceriatone centura) going straight to the front of the amp. The only pedal that's not popping is the centura at the end but it doesn't pop no matter where I put it, I'm thinking this might be to do with the buffer but I'm honestly stumped. :(

    Most likely it's due to lack of a resistor pulldown on one of the pedal outputs, or it could be due to aging and leaking capacitors. Either way, it's basically DC power going through your pedals and into your amp. Getting something like a Lightningboy or similar isolation transformer at the end of your chain would kill it, but it's really more of a bandaid solution. Buffers seem especially prone to causing this problem. I've got one that leaks 9 mV of DC on its output, and it will make the next pedal over pop.

    My son just found this out yesterday, he was fixing one of his pedals and tried it out on the universal 9v i have for my bass pedal and it was making that noise so my son went and rechecked his soldering and came back and still Making noise, well he tried the other 9v i have which is a D'Addario and bingo no noise 👍

    Well thank you for the advice I own a high gain Amp head,so I'm running the head with standard pedals nothing to fancy but im running a boss super OD it was noisy AF after the headache I went through because u were saying I just can't use this pedal because it's making too much darn noise,after swapIng out the pre Amp tubes and changing out the jumper cables to the fx pedals it still made that ugly sound,I was ready to throw this pedal in the lake or use it as a paper weight, I still couldn't find the problem ,I own a power block by acoustic ,darn thing is pretty good and quiet anyways since I'm using the od with the lead channel and the power block has like 12 spots for pedal power I just moved the od plug all the way away from the other pedals and BINGO quiet as a mouse. Now I'm not chunking this pedal anywhere...cheers and thank you ..

    I have a Wampler Tumnus, which I LOVE the sound of , but it produces a loud hiss through all my amps. I have high end cables, Onespot CS6 isolated power supply and Furman surge protector. The Ibanez tubescreamer on the same board is much quieter but doesn’t sound nearly as good as the Tumnus. Is the loud hiss inherent of a klon-like circuit or is my pedal possibly defective? The hiss isn’t a huge problem when playing live with a band, but at home and while recording it’s really noticeable.

    Noise is the bane of my existence. Great little tip vid. My biggest issue right now has to do with recording using my DAW/PC. Somehow my PC itself is proving to be a source of noise and it’s sort of weird. I’m using a Focusrite 2x2 monitored through my amp (which is setup to act more like a monitor). I don’t start getting much noise until I power on my PC. Oddly though, when I start my DAW (Reaper) the noise kicks up several notches. Even with a blank slate in the DAW (i.e. no amp sims or VSTs or anything loaded). I only have an integrated sound card. I’d consider getting a higher end sound card but I’m concerned it won’t help if the PC itself is the source of the noise. Not being able to do decent quality recordings is bumming me out.

    It's a ground issue most likely. Using an UPS as a filter for your AC line noise may help. Or you can use one of those ground lift adapters from the hardware store or wal mart that takes a grounded 3 prong socket and omits the ground to be just a 2 prong plug on the other side.

    Probably best to keep the Grounds connected on the AC plug and use an isolation transformer on the signal line between the pieces of equipment. This will stop any ground earth loops while keeping your equipment safely earthed. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Noise-Filter-Ground-Loop-Buzz-Isolator-Hum-Killer-3-5mm-Audio-Cable-Radio-PC-MP3/273094502857?hash=item3f95b369c9:g:vNAAAOSw2Eham7sK

    Hi Brian, This video was from a year ago so I don't know if you will even get this....Sadly I live 1/4 of a mile from an AM radio tower and some pedals I unfortunately get will get AM radio bleed over. (Talk radio bleeding through when you engage the pedal). I purchases a green ringer clone that I am getting talk radio bleed through. I even upgraded my power supply to a Voodoo Labs Power plus 2. (All isolated outputs) I had a pedal like this a while back and a buddy was able to fix it by putting in a resister...... I believe it was a 10K. I am great with soldering but don't have any electrical knowledge as far as reading electronic specs. For a novice do you know of anywhere I can get an actual picture diagram or even a photo like fender or Duncan does to wire a guitar pickup in? If I could obtain something like this I would be good to go. Thanks for your help in advance! I got the pedal for $50 and my local amp repair guy charges $75 .... I hate to dump this pedal off my board! Chuck
