woodyratm Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi guys, Thought I'd be better asking this here. I have one of the above but it's been humming and buzzing majorly, I kinda just want to try a proper 12v 1200mA one and see what like. Anyone know which to get? Or does anyone have one I could borrow and see if it works? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) DHA did recommend a particular one in another thread recently. I bought one and it made a great difference to my Compressor. I'll try to find the thread. Here it is [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/166860-dha-vt1-power-supply/page__view__findpost__p__1521984"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__1521984[/url] This is the power supply: [url="http://www.rapidonline.com/SearchResults.aspx?kw=85-3112"][color="#0f72da"]http://www.rapidonli...aspx?kw=85-3112[/color][/url] Edited March 8, 2012 by Kirky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 A decent PSU is vital to getting thee pedals to deliver the best possible sound. I ran mine from a TFT monitor power supply and it sounded incredible - that's the trick with valve kit, give it clean juice and you've cracked it.

RichF Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Dave is clear about the importance of a proper PSU. Any skimping on quality and my DHA VT2 (which Paul5 went on to get) would react very badly. As Paul5 says give it clean juice and it's silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I seem to remember Dave saying that if you use a switching PSU you should plug into the effect before switching on the power, Apparently it can cause noise issues if you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Switch-mode transformers have always been problematic for me - give me a big ol' hunk of metal everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
