Delay Tempo Led = Noise from power chain

[ericthibeault]

Hello,

I'm just wondering if there is some solution to get rid of noise that the tap tempo led from my delay produces in my signal.

I have 8 pedals on my pedalboard (some buffered, some true bypass) and my delay (hardwire DL-8) is in a true bypass loop (mini loop-master) by itself for the delay to stay in tap tempo mode (for live situation).

The thing is that when I connect my DL-8 on the same power daisy chain that all my other pedals and I have my DL-8 on tap tempo mode and a high gain pedal, I hear some noise in my signal each time the DL-8 tap tempo led blinks... even if the DL-8 is on bypass on my loop-master.

Thanks for any other anwser than: put a 9-volts battery in it! I want a permanent solution that would not require me to plug/unplug the input jack on my DL-8 everytime.

Well, i'm not an expert, but having dealt a bit with making sure noise from digital circuits doesn't bleed into the audio circuit, my experience is that it's a design issue. If what controls the led has a common power/gnd with the audio circuit, then there's nothing you can do, at least nothing easy you could do.
