pederbak Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi all So, I've just updated my HX Stomp to 3.0, plugged it all in, and now I get an 80Hz(roughly a low E-string) noise whenever one of the LEDs are switched on. If I enable tap tempo on FS3, the noise is concurrent with the tempo... :-/ The noise is too loud to ignore, sadly, and I have a gig(FINALLY) on Monday. Anyone else have this problem? I'm powering it off a Gigrig Distributor/Generator, using the correct adapter cable. kind regards Peder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yalyari Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I experienced this tap-tempo LED synchronized noise when I daisy-chained HX stomp power supply (DC-3g, the stock one) to power both HX Stomp and G70 wireless receiver. DC-3g has enough juice, but I suspect the supply voltage ripple due to LED on/off is injecting noise to G70. I switched to isolated power supply (Strymon Zuma R300), problem solved. I guess Gigrig Distributor is non-isolated power supply, causing the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pederbak Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Thanks for the reply! The weird thing here however, is that I've been using the board for a full year without any hiccups. Updated the HX Stomp to 3.0 and voila... Hmm, maybe something else changed. I'll have to review the whole board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
