Hi peeps. Had this unit since launch and was initially happy with it until the realisation I can only use it on a few basses because of that annoying high pitched whine crap that they do with some active circuits. Male TS female TS and other such solutions don't work. Swapping the ring/sleeve wires doesn't work. I've swapped a preamp in one bass out of curiosity and gave the whine to a previously none whiny bass. I've had enough to be honest and I will be selling it on shortly but I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any experience of the G55 system? Does that suffer the same issue? If anyone could give me a heads up before I consider purchasing one that would be grand, I'd rather not waste money a second time. For interests sake here are the basses and preamps Sandberg classic 6 with delano pups and pre. Whine's like crazy Mayones BE exotic 5 with Bartolini pups and mayo3 pre. Doesn't whine Mayones BE exotic 5 with Bartolini pups and Auiliar ob3 pre. Whine's like crazy Warwick streamer 4 with MEC pups and passive circuits. No whine Warwick streamer 4 with EMG J pups and Pre. No whine Warwick Corvette 6 with Basslines pups and MEC 2 band pre. No whine Warwick Corvette 6 with Basslines pups and MEC 3 band pre. Whines like crazy Ray 35 with Delano pups and Sonar 3 pre. Whines the loudest of all Musicman Stingray 4. All stock and no whine. I wouldn't mind as much but it's my main basses (Sanberg and Mayo)that I take to gigs that happen to be the whiners of the lot. Cheers

Soo yeah the phone charger style idea for powering this unit is a bit meh if I'm honest, apart from that it's top notch. I use a hotstone2 power supply, the max current I can get from it is 800 if I use a current doubling cable. The manual for the G10 states 1 ampere supplied by the plug but this seems a bit excessive to me. Does anyone know the actual current requirements of the reciever before I bodge together 9V>5V converter board? Ta
