I have two 9v supplies, a Power Bank and a regulated wall-wart branded with the name of the shop I bought it at about 10 years ago. The Power Bank is fine with the older ACA pedals - PH-1, CE-2 and CS-3 but introduces mains hum with the PSA ones even when the TU-2 is used as the inital power feed. All work perfectly with the wall-wart.

So did the older pedals have more in the way of on-board regulation I wonder?

Also it may be that my Power Bank has developed a fault but I thought these were supposed to be pretty good?

I'm not fully understanding your question. Are you saying you send power to the TU-2, and then use the other power jack to send power to other pedals? If you have a hum problem, that's likely the reason why.

I'm also not familiar with the power bank, so a link to one may help me understand better.

Yep. Not exactly "regulation", but there is an RC low-pass filter in the powe circuit of the ACA pedals that is missing in the PSA pedals.

The power-out jack on the TU-2 is wired directly to the power-in jack - the TU-2 doesn't do any power conditioning.
