I have trouble with AC noise when i feed my Tone Bender MK II clone from a wall wart. I have no clue why, everything should be all right. Plastic DC socket, circuit ground is soldered straight to the input socket ground lug .... The middle pot is just a bias pot. I can't see any ground loop.
Any idea guys?

Here is the picture:

Of course you get noise with a wall wart.

thank you, but can you please tell me why the wall wart works well with some pedals and gets noisy with other pedals?

For one thing, the TB2 has ridiculously high gain, and amplifies any noise source.
