Wolf Computer Owners?

I can't lie, this can be a noisy pedal sometimes, under certain circumstances. I am trying to refine some things and while breadboarding I am getting a bad background whine when using a Boss PSA-120T powersupply. Doesn't happen on batteries. I still have some messing around to do but I thought I'd check, is anyone getting this whining sound on non-gated/atari settings, and if so what power supply are you using (and if its daisy chained with anyhing else)?

Weird. I have not had any whining problems with my WC yet... sometimes it can be a little hissy, but nothing out of the ordinary, and I've found that the bias control can keep it from getting annoying. I'm using a Godlyke power supply w/daisychain cable.

I picked up a new OneSpot today, and it didnt create this noise. So I am blaming the Boss PSA-120t. It's a newer model with the little green LED to tell you its plugged in/on and I have a feeling its that little LED that is helping make the whining sound.

Damn LEDs. They should just mind their own business. :grumpy:

But I guess they are good for telling dummies like me when pedals are engaged, so I'll keep 'em around for now...

I'm on a onespot with a lot of other stuff daisy chained, and I do get the whine. I need to move it around on the board when my pp2+ arrives, so maybe that will clear it up.

I've never had a problem with my WC powered by a pp2+. the only noise I get is radio signals with the fuzz and sag at full but I :love: ending a song with radio! It's especially awesome cuz it usually pics up the local christian station so we'll end a song, everyone will stop playing and the only sound left is a "PRAISE THE LORD!" or a really cheesy song about loving jesus :thumb:

I use a 1-Spot and I get a strange whining noise occasionally (on certain settings,) but that's kind of what I love about the WC. I'll just take those crazy noises and figure out a way to make them work with my playing.
