  • Truetone CEO Bob Weil offers up an in-depth explanation of why some pedals produce noise on a daisy-chained power supply while most do not. Using the original 1 SPOT, he also offers tips on how to combat any pedal noise you may encounter.

    Love Truetone. Straight talk, not selling magic fairy dust but well-designed products.
    My H2O V3 is beautifully voiced, the tone control on the chorus/vibrato side is a great feature to make it play nice with any amp, the small footprint makes it an easy fit in almost any pedalboard, top-mounted jacks are a +, the switches are great and confidence-inspiring, and the power protection (from AC supplies) just shows how thoughtful they are in their design.
    They are truly great products at a very fair price.
    And here they are, telling you that you may not need to spend as much as you thought. That's class, folks.

    The thing that I dislike is people saying that you should never daisy chain. I tend to use isolated power for digital pedals, in case they emit ground noises from internal word clocks. I believe those artefacts may be filtered out with some simple cap/resistor combination.
    Also, I love the Sauron reference!

    I've heard from some that some digital pedals filter off the high end digital noise and dump it to ground so if you have a pedal that's sharing ground you will hear that dumped sound in the next pedal. Something similar to when you get car engine whine through your stereo when you power your device from the lighter plug. Just another thought.

      2. Also The adapter has no ground prong (only 2 prongs and not 3), so where is the ground connection? A standard power cable has a 3rd prong which is ground right? but the adapter has only 2.

  • @Bassguitarist1985
    @Bassguitarist1985 Před rokem

    The pedals that make noise are due to inadequate filtering on the power supply. Digital pedals rely on an internal clock to run the DSP chips. This clock is running at a very high frequency beyond human hearing. If the circuit is not carefully designed/filtered to prevent a phenomena called "heterodyning," (which is the combining of two high frequency signals to produce a lower frequency, usually harmonic content bleeds down into the audible range) then you get the noise you demonstrated. It is also possible to get noise with pedals that take incoming 9VDC and convert up or down to a different voltage. Same issue with lack or improper designed filter components.
    This is why pedals like these need their own isolated/dedicated PSU to prevent these noises/perturbations from traveling on the incoming power lines to other pedals. There are also power line filters that go between the daisy chain and the pedal to reduce the noise traveling on the incoming power lines back through to the other pedals. It is a simple common mode choke designed to bleed any high frequencies to ground, reducing the noise, but some is still passed back through the lines at a reduced dbu level.
    I'm just a bass player with an affinity for electronics! 😄

    Newbie here! I had to ask ChatGPT: "In the world of electric guitars and audio equipment, a "Daisy-Chain" typically refers to a method of connecting multiple effects pedals or devices together in a series using a single power supply source. This is done by linking the power inputs and outputs of the pedals in a linear chain, one after the other."

    Hi, I'm having some problems with my one spot. I currently have 7 pedals (daisy chained) which are pretty cheap ones but there is this humming and almost small beeping sound coming through my amp, I thought this would be my digital delay, I took it out of the chain and there's still noise. I have these pedals: (not in signal chain order)
    Flamma Modulation (11 effects), Sonicake vol/wah, Tc electronic delay, Flamma comp, cheap Vintage overdrive, rowin noise gate, and a lekato looper/tuner.
    Are there any recommendations to stop this noise altogether, maybe it's another pedal? I'm not sure but it is very noisy. Thanks!

    In 30 years of playing guitar and bass, I have never once needed "isolated" power for my pedalboard, because I only use pedals with well-engineered power supply that aren't noisy. If any pedal in my chain made any noise other than the noises I want, it would be immediately pulled from my signal chain and returned to the seller. My current pedalboard has 13 pedals, all on a daisy chain, from Boss, tc electronic, Digitech, and One Control BJFe.
    The only pedal I've ever owned that couldn't be powered from my daisy chain was a particular germanium octave fuzz with a reverse internal polarity, but regular wiring, a Voodoo Lab Proctavia. For many germanium fuzz pedals, reverse polarity is simply the way they operate.

    Hi there. I know this is an old video. But I was searching for solutions to the problem of my pedal board and stumbled on this video. I found it strange why I didn't saw this before cuz I'm a subscriber. I have a popping sound when engaging my pedals. I also have sizzling sound when cranking up my volume.
    I play at church as a member of a worship team.
    I have the following pedals:
    - T3 Boss tuner
    - Mooer Yellow Comp
    - King Of Tone clone
    - Joyo California amp sim
    - DD7 Boss Delay
    - Neunaber chroma Chorus
    - Digitech Supernatural
    and a Jp Jr vol pedal.
    And I'm using the daisy chain and the 1 spot adapter for them all. What could be de problem?
    I'll try so learn from this video about replacing the way the daisy chain can be connected.
    Thanks in advance.

    My board has a pair of OneSpots, and I own a couple extras. I use them for lots of gear, not ONLY pedals. The BOSS BR RECORDER and lots of other home audio gear appreciate a solid, reliable 9VDC power supply. Great product.
    What I wonder is if the noisy high current pedals have some kind of power supply INTAKE design such as a DC to DC convertor, RATHER THAN A STEP DOWN AS THE VIDEO SUGGESTS, that may in fact be injecting noise outside the pedal. DC to DC convertors are typically silicon parts (smt or dip socket chips) that take a variable DC voltage in and output a stable DC voltage out. DC to DC convertors typically operate by a chopping approach, which could lead to the output noise. In RF terms, the DC Chopper is actually generating RF like a spark gap transmitter would.
    Alternatively the DSP chips may be creating RF in the gigahertz or 500 megahertz to 1 ghz range, and some straight lines inside the circuit board could be acting as antennas that pick up the RF waves and then a single RF pulse coming in repeatedly could set up some kind of 20-100 hz current ripple out of the pedal.

      From Truetone Founder & President, Bob Weil
      Thanks for your detailed technical thoughts about noise generated by digital pedals on a shared power supply. We're actually in agreement on most of what you wrote. When I made the video, I was trying to simplify the information so the average viewer would understand it, without getting lost in the details. Here's what I said in the video, which lightly brushes on what you wrote:
      "...maybe it has nothing to do with the DSP, but it seems like it does. Then again, it could also be that because some of these pedals have a little switching power supply circuit in them, that creates a ground offset with any other pedal sharing power with it. But it’s hard to know for sure. There are lots of design details that can cause noise when dealing with digital. And the “why” of it is not the most important thing anyway.”
      We know that if there are two digital circuits operating at slightly different frequencies, and if those differences are in the 20Hz-20kHz audio range, noise will be heard by the user... just like 2 strings on a guitar that are slightly out of tune with each other, creating a "beat" frequency. That's not the only possible source for noise, but it is certainly worth mentioning. As I concluded in the statement above, the "why" of it is not the most important thing... and most musicians don't really care. They just want to know what pedals will work on a daisy-chain and what pedals won't. Thanks for delving deeper though... always appreciated!
