songofthewind Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Sorry, I seem to be doing nothing but adding to the confusion, or creating it. My last post should have read “did it kill the B3n WHINE”. Up to now I’ve used a separate power supply for my B3n, with no whine. I just wanted to simplify my setup and get rid of extra wires etc. Quote

I know nothing about elecktrickery, so be gentle with me. I imagine it's whether the cable joins the two outputs in series or parallel. If in series, you double up the voltage, in in parallel you double the current. Quote
Al Krow Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 The noise blocker John is referring to is the Joyo ZGB. I ended up getting one but not needing in the end, so mine is lying about spare; if the OP would like it I'd be happy to send it to him (no charge). Quote

Woodinblack Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 2 hours ago, jrixn1 said: Right, so in summary, your current setup is: Zoom B3n, powered by a Diago power supply. Some other pedals, powered by a Harley Benton Powerplant. This works fine but you'd like to simplify the setup by using one single power supply for all pedals. Unfortunately, when you power everything from the Harley Benton Powerplant, there is a whine. Do you mean the Harley benton powerplant? In which case, yes there will be a whine, or do you mean the Harley Benton Powerplant Jr, in which case there really shouldn't be. In my posts before I was only talking about the Jr. The non Jr is not isolated. Quote

The original poster (rushbo) has the Powerplant Junior (the white one), which is isolated but delivers low current. The solution was to use a current doubler. Then songofthewind joined in with "I have the same problem" but it turns out he has a different problem. He said in post 5 of this thread: "I’ve got the large blue Harley Benton Powerplant" - which has the opposite problem to the Powerplant Junior, namely that although it delivers sufficient current, it is not isolated. And the original was the B3, not the B3n Quote
songofthewind Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Wow! Well, I’m less confused now! Obviously I need to start again with Victors or Fame devices mentioned helpfully above. Rushbo, I’m sorry I’ve caused so much confusion by hijacking the thread! Quote

It's your thread now, songofthewind... I hope you get your issues sorted out - mine was relatively straightforward by comparison. Quote
