A real long shot: I bought a regular power supply a couple of weeks ago (basically, looks like yours). It came with a ferrite core attached to the output cord, and that ferrite core is located about 6 inches from the plug (and not at the power supply end). We've suggested a solution to this problem MANY times for him over the last year. Everything from the one that Sweetwater used to carry that was simply a box that used batteries itself (which makes changing them easier than taking hte board apart constantly) to isolated supplies. It may just be the vintage pedals honestly. If something like THIS doesn't solve it, it's the pedals or the guitar or the amp, or the three - not hte power supply. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/529iPedalPwr--mission-engineering-inc-529i-usb-pedalboard-power-supply-with-integrated-battery

The one you bought is it a wall wart type and what brand is it thanks very much

my pedal board is small and im trying to keep the weight down that is why i am not putting a brick on it. Your choice, it's a case of "you have options" - I couldn't bear to deal with noise especially at stage volume.

The one you bought is it a wall wart type and what brand is it thanks very much My little VOX DA5 combo came with an old fashioned, heavy brick (output 12v, 800ma). I never liked these, always warm if left plugged in. I never throw away anything, so I found a "modern" power adapter with the same output specs and barrel plug --> BUZZZZZZ !!!! I searched ebay and came up with this. The ferrite gizmo attracted me (but most adapters do not have that; you have your own, anyway). This is not the skinny, sideways configuration that saves space on a power strip. www.ebay.com/itm/143965380629 (This is what I bought; not what you should buy; example.) I contacted the seller, and we had a nice back & forth conversation. This seller never lists the amp output, so I had to ask. The two-amp output was more than enough. He confirmed the negative center barrel plug, but told me an erroneous length, but even though it was a couple of mm longer than my VOX plug, it works OK; just sticks out a little bit; no real problem. It works just fine; no noise. You will need a 2A (2000mA) unit. I think all these barrel plugs are standard in size and electrical polarity (negative center). This Mr. Power seller has this as a sole search result for a guitar pedal power supply: www.ebay.com/itm/144271485641?itmmeta=01HPKVGXQ68Z9W542AQ34NGZ8D&hash=item2197402ac9:g:lOcAAOSwEd1g-Sr-Read the description way down the web page. It looks pretty good -- noise eliminating circuitry, sideway plug-in configuration. If it's 2 amps then it's a pretty good assumption that this will work for you. You can "contact seller," tell him what you have (including output volts and amps, barrel plug length) -- you'll have to ask about the Amp output, just like I had to. This seller accepts returns if you're not satisfied, and apparently pays for return postage. $10.75 with free shipping; sounds OK, depending on the output. PS - Do a search on ebay for a guitar pedal power supply, and you'll get a ton of results; you could look through those, too.... PPS - this looks pretty good (but buyer pays for return postage; not worth the expense & trouble at this price): $6.94 + $2.95 shipping. Note that this is NOT a space-saving sideways configuration, IF that's a concern for you when/if using a power strip. But it does look like it will work; I'd take a chance. www.ebay.com/itm/272653862501?itmmeta=01HPKTH1EWFS9DSQXD73KBBPZE&hash=item3f7b6fc665:g:yeMAAOSwM7lc0Poo&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0D77A%2FtFiUUErT8%2BjyREwbMxmP7qkKbyojoGR5DqOQ3fZ7npSZUh8LHjFEKI9haVrhgbq6ujc0fUU6AoVGEqYd0mj5Rkq0dOLQUyCw0AjxK9SE%2FbzojHoZ7oXlrI5Paorh4JRFBfGxldkTFxDPqPUaAIwifGOvjPY7MypyNeRwUYwACfAj67yTWTH4wPPIMXrAnYRx3CZZjM2t%2FvryDN%2B1xsD%2BFAjvsHYle%2B5I%2BNyqLSyGtvk0eJkXi9uUDB5yqSVKIYpVsV85%2BuzNEYWnIuNxE%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9SXxPq0Yw

IMO...
A gigging musician owes it to his/her audience to have the best tones their gear can produce. It's a small yet worthwhile investment to get rid of the buzz.
FWIW - my wife is a life-long migraine sufferer (since the first grade). Loud music doesn't bother her. But buzzing lights - and other sources of hum/buzz do.
You never know all the people in the audience. It would be a respectful thing to not have buzz/hum in your rig.
It's not about you. It's about the audience. Take some gig money and solve the issue. For them.

You're cheaping out. Cheaping out nets...cheap results.
If you're using vintage effects and fancy amps....why would you NOT use a quality power supply and isolated stuff?
Talk to Sweetwater, lay down the couple hundred bucks, and ...solve the problem once and for all.

By taking nice (expensive) gear and cheaping out running it.
You’re the maker of your own conundrum.

Cheap, easy - given you're not running a board the size of mine. Do you want to play in the big leagues or slum around sucking with excuses? That's the honest assessment.

You realize you’re creating your own problem. how by trying to use a wall wart power supply (true tone one spot) that is supposed to work for my 3 pedals Ever seen a five year old running around screaming with his fists in the air, "That was supposed to work?" Did it ever work out for them doing it that way? When you find a problem, you adapt and overcome, or wallow in..bad. Either one IS an option, mind you. Did Hendrix sit around going "THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK?" with his hodgepodge of offball gera and flipped guitars...or did he...adapt and overcome? Oh, wait.

Oh, wait. thatis why i came here i have a problem and would like a soulution for my one spot not to waler in bad. i dont know how much you gig but i do a lot and unessary weith on a pedal board with 3 pedals is rediculus. the true tone one spot is for boards like mine. i just would like some help to figure out how i can quite it down or if othere people have the same issue. Hendrix did not have to deal with issues like this Roger Mayer took care of stuff like that. Now do you have any ideas to help OH WAIT LOL
