DHA VT1-EQ-Bass Drive valve OD, EQ, DI, h/p Power supply?

[woodyratm]

Hi guys,
Thought I'd be better asking this here.

I have one of the above but it's been humming and buzzing majorly, I kinda just want to try a proper 12v 1200mA one and see what like.

Anyone know which to get? Or does anyone have one I could borrow and see if it works?

DHA did recommend a particular one in another thread recently. I bought one and it made a great difference to my Compressor. I'll try to find the thread.

Here it is [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/166860-dha-vt1-power-supply/page__view__findpost__p__1521984"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__1521984[/url]

A decent PSU is vital to getting thee pedals to deliver the best possible sound. I ran mine from a TFT monitor power supply and it sounded incredible - that's the trick with valve kit, give it clean juice and you've cracked it.

Dave is clear about the importance of a proper PSU. Any skimping on quality and my DHA VT2 (which Paul5 went on to get) would react very badly. As Paul5 says give it clean juice and it's silent.

I seem to remember Dave saying that if you use a switching PSU you should plug into the effect before switching on the power, Apparently it can cause noise issues if you don't.

Switch-mode transformers have always been problematic for me - give me a big ol' hunk of metal everytime.
