Just built an Orange Squeezer clone on a GGG board. It sounds fabulous with a battery, but it hums like mad when using a 9v adapter. The wiring and solder joints look good, is this just a problem with using a wall wart? Maybe something that is better regulated like a Pedal Power2 is needed? Thanks.

 Could be, sounds like it. Try a big and really small filter cap arrangement with the 100ohm resistor filter trick on it. I've had that problem before and was hard to ditch it.

 VS-1 Spot'd do it, but if you're running buncha pedals daisy chain like I was, a VDLPP2 [I got the 2+], cures all ground loops by floating the regulated outputs.
 Everything I could want in a [6 output +2 adjustable V outputs = 8 output]  PS, except maybe one more output, which it has except it's an 120VAC output, good for driving a 1-SPOT..lol.
 IEC input...very nice !
 Thanks.

What kind of adapter are you using?
it is a DOD PS200R, 300 ma regulated. It works well with my other pedals but this Squeezer doesn't like it at all!
