ehx freeze causing hum

[rob_thebassman]

my ehx freeze causes hum in my pedal board, what can i do to stop it?

On or off? Battery or power supply? Good cables?

Are you 'sampling' hum?

cables are good, power supply is good, its whenever the freeze is in it hums

 

[bigchiefbc]

Do you have it on an isolated power supply? The Freeze is not supposed to be used on a daisy-chain.

 

[rob_thebassman]

its a powerbank

QTX power bank

Put a battery in it and see if it still hums.

the freeze runs on power supply only

 

[rob_thebassman]

it even hums when i use a different power supply for freeze and have the bank for everything else

 

[Floyd Eye]

Are you using the correct PS for the pedal? Does it hum when it is the only pedal in your signal chain?

 

[rob_thebassman]

it only hums when its in the chain via powerbank or when its powered by a different power supply

 

[rob_thebassman]

Mine does not hum and it's on a 1Spot, yours may be defective.

If you play a fuzz or a noisy bass into the freeze, that will create noise.

If you have several pedals you needed one anyway.

Mine doesn't hum I don't think but I do notice a slight "pulse" type sound when I engage the pedal. I don't hear it live but when I'm wearing earphones I do hear this. Normal?

1) Freeze does not support a battery.
2) Freeze comes with it's own power supply.

Maybe, but the real question does it hum with the power supply that came with it? If so then you have a defective unit that needs service.
