T-Bay Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I think I know the reason for this but after a second opinion as it is also a bit weird. I have a Mooer Reverb pedal I use very occasionally. Having a quick practice tonight ahead of a gig on Friday, go for the reverb and it just makes a loud and continual clicking noise, not the pop you sometimes get on switchover but a continual clicking. I am guessing this is some sort of interference with the shared power supply. I haven’t got an individual one I can test and it doesn’t take a battery to check. The only weird thing is that the pedal board has been in its current form for ages with the exception of the addition of a Ditto but AFTER the reverb. No other pedals on except the always on Spectracomp. So am I right to suspect the power supply? Or is the pedal borked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I've had this clicking happening with several Mooer pedals, after some experimenting I found out this happened when they were underpowered either with a (shared) daisy chain or with a power-supply with not enough power, attached to power-supply with sufficient power it's gone.

I wondered about that, but partly discounted it as only the Spectracomp was on. Perhaps the other pedals are drawing current even though they aren’t on. I will unplug a few and see if it helps.

blablas Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Spectracomp is rated at 100 mA, most Mooer pedals are 100+ mA! When most pedals are powered and fully plugged they will draw power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Power supply is (allegedly) good for 1800mA, I run a tuner, kill switch (LED only so no draw when off), chorus, overdrive and ditto so hardly close to that in theory. I will have a go tonight but guessing that will be the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Continual popping/ clicking noise I get that. It's usually my knees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 It’s the Ditto that’s the problem, I guess it drains more power than the others. Easy enough to get around as I only use that as a practice tool so just unplugged it and all was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
