real tube 901 tubeworks hum !!!!

[cbriere]

I have hum coming out of this new pedal.
playing with my strat, the hum has more volume compared to my DS-1?
when i turn the guitar volume down, the hum clear itself.
i figure it's because the signal is now low impedance so no easy way for the magnetic field,
but when volume on guitar is maxed, the hum get loud.

I am shure it is caused by the internal 9VAC transormer BUT,
what is the easiest cure?
I'm thinking of disconecting the internal transfo. and use an extenal one.
Any body had success to cure this problem?

Sorry if you hve already thought of all this....

If it hums when you turn up your guitar have you considered it is getting the hum from the guitar?  have you got a TV set turned on near by or strip lighting or anything else that would induce hum??  Single coil strats like to hummmmmmmm

SC pickup hum for shure, but, i get more with this pedal?
i will try with external transfo.

I have removed the trafo's from my friends Realtube and all their hum problems went away

For them the trafo was the problem!

No way to cure this without remove the transfo hein? ok i'll remove it also.
But what models do you implied by saying "for them the transfo was the problem"?

You can reduce the hum effect by remove your transfo with another more powerful.
Or try to use a toroidal transfo
