0175westwood29 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 i know you dont want to maybe spend money on anything but i see maybe two ways use your diago into a gigrig distributor that then powers the hx, use another isolator of that to then power the tuner. or you could grab a strymon Ojai and a 2 into 1 double lead that will run the hx and you have three outputs left to power the tuner from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have space for an external tuner, so why not. Si I’m guessing you already know you can activate the tuner by pressing "Action" and "Page >" buttons together?

jrixn1 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Joyo ZGP? I've not used one myself but read about them here previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 10 Author Share Posted November 10 Sorry for the radio silence on this thread, been a hectic weekend of ill family members and changes plans. I appreciate everyone mucking in their thoughts on this! 10 hours ago, 0175westwood29 said: i know you dont want to maybe spend money on anything but i see maybe two ways use your diago into a gigrig distributor that then powers the hx, use another isolator of that to then power the tuner. or you could grab a strymon Ojai and a 2 into 1 double lead that will run the hx and you have three outputs left to power the tuner from. For sure, that’s the thing though, by the time I’ve bought a Distro and an Isolator from Gigrig (as used they’re quite rare) I’m not far off getting a used Cioks Sol or Ojai as you say. This exercise is trying to get the quietest setup (ie isolated if possible) for as little money as possible, utilizing the fact that I already have a Diago PowerStation and the original Stomp PSU. 7 hours ago, jrixn1 said: Joyo ZGP?

That said, I’m still yet to find an answer to this question (which I haven’t asked here yet). Does using an isolation block on just one pedal technical isolate both pedals from one another? Is it actually not necessary to isolate both pedals from one another?! Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 No - the joyo thing is a filter, ir removes some noise from the power source, but in no way isolates the power from each other. I used one because it stopped a zoom that I was using at the time from interfering with the wireshark wireless I was using at the time. It worked, but later on I had to get an isolated power supply for another pedal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 10 Author Share Posted November 10 I think where I’m getting to is realising that I should just suck it up and get another Cioks Sol haha. Easier to just set it up and forget, because it’s doing everything that I need. Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Si you could also look at the fender small power supply thats basically a cheaper styrmon, had a big one and it was sound 89 quid for the level 5 and your done https://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-engine-room-lvl5-power-supply/942152?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0MG5BhD1ARIsAEcZtwSP0b3_sADd07Oo9BB3LQt1rSajxT9yA9W4335hHrjYw-g3xaVsgNcaAswxEALw_wcB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Si If you have two pedals powered from the same supply, and you isolate one of them, then the other should also be isolated, as there are only two pedals and neither can “see” the other. That’s my understanding of it anyway. Distributor and Isolator is the way to go I reckon. GigRig Virtual Battery will also act as a single isolator.

Yeah that’s my understanding too, makes sense right?! lol. I’ll keep my eye out for some used Gig Rig in that case! Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 Wow that isolator seems expensive. Not really suprising as it is everything a normal power supply does. So if you have now decided to go for a new power supply woudln't any old isolated supply work? Those £20-30 isolated power supplies work really well and are very low profile, I used those all the time until I went to the HB power strips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
