MKB	Re: Pedal board HELL Hi, Aron. I had a similar problem with my pedalboard, except it was a bad whine. I was powering the pedals from a common 9V LM317 based regulator. The problem turned out to be my Boss CE2. I installed a 470 ohm1000uF power supply filter in the CE2, this fixed the problem. It sounds like the Memory Man is leaking some clock or digital noise into the common supply. Filtering inside the Memory Man on the power supply line may help. Also, if the Memory Man already has PS filtering, maybe the cap is bad? BTW, thanks a million for the great web site!
