I just picked up a DD-2 and noticed that it's quite a bit more noisy (hum) than my other Boss pedals, especially when I use the AC adapter. This seems to be a known issue but I haven't seen any solutions.
Any suggestions on how to cut down on the noise? Thanks!
The DD-2 requires a regulated adapter - specifically a Boss PSA. If you are using "any old 9V adapter", you will get hum. Can you let us kow what adapter you are using? Thanks!
Not only does the DD-2 require a regulated adapter, it also needs a good quality regualted adapter. I tried to run a DD-3 using a regulated adapter that I bought from the local petrol station. This produced a load hum but when I changed to a Boss PSA adapter, the hum diappeared completely.
Good catch on which adapter to use - I was using an ACA adapter, and switching the the PSA adapter made all the difference. Although I was looking forward to getting out the old soldering iron...
Laurie Yes PSA with DD2 in the chain of effects puts a PSA source separated for him DD-2 is a wonderful pedal (better than DD-3, hot and natural)..but has strong personality... it likes to be demanding
