...put electrical tape on the 9v connector...
I was having weird electrical/grounding issues...humming when I pulled my fingers away from the strings, for example...my pedaltrains are on carpeted floor and I was wearing slippers, my hardwire overdrive AND distortion were acting funny, and would turn on and off just by touching them with my slippered foot, nowhere near the footswitch
I pulled the distortion pedal off the board, removed the switch and saw the 9v connector was touching the steel housing...I electrical taped it and tuccked it awaw, did the same to my overdrive and they stopped turning on and off intermittantly...the hum from pulling my fingers away from the strings was much less, but still there...im gonna tape the 9v connectors on all my pedals...
anyone else have weird electrical phenominon??
Im also committed to getting isolated power for each pedal, slowly but surely...AND im gonna run a couple outlets to their own seperate breaker...nothing else on them...
