Noisy eTap2hw

[dave robinson]

Just thought I would mention here I used my eTap2hw on stage last night through my amp and it was fine, no noise and great echoes - I believe that my power supply was from Maplins.

Hi Phil

Sounds like the PSU to me ......... What are you using ?

Dick.

Dick, it's a 12V, 1A supply off a Netgear router. I also tried it with another psu and I didn't find much if any difference.

Thanks, I will make some further tests.

Try an old fashioned transformer style PSU, switching supplies can cause all kinds of noise..

You'll have a different one next week Dave !!!

Big knob.

Your power supply was stolen from me.

I'll have to make a trip to the nearest Maplin store for the cheapest PSU I can find

I'll maybe rig up a 12V battery supply first to check if the PSU is the culprit.

Thanks to all for helpful suiggestions

I was just about to try that tomorrow morning , just out of curiosity

Cheers

Dick.

ps...............the supply I'm using is a Netgear dv-1280-3uk (12va with the correct 240v rated input)......heavy old thing

How noisy is noisy? (No I'm not being silly...) my eTap produces the Brian May "snowstorm" but quietly...
