Sansamp GT2 question.....

First off does anyone else use these on bass? I find it great for adding some grit to a clean signal but need a EQ to boost the bass back up when engaged. I have had this pedal for years trouble free until Tuesday night I switched pedalboards and instead of using the usual one spot power supply and daisy chain I used my Boss PSA A/C adaptor due to the plug clearance on the new board. What I was hearing was distortion but a bad distortion almost like a battery was laying down never had a battery in this thing since I got it always used the AC option. I switched back to the one spot and all it ran like normal. So I guess my question is do you think this pedal is going bad or was it just the power supply? to my knowledge both the one spot and Boss PSA draw and put out the same power I guess the only reason I ask is that the PSA is brand new and it powers 8 pedals with no issue so real confused with this one. Thanks!
 
I have one and love it particularly using the ls-2 as a blend because the lows remain clean. I have not tried it with a bunch of power supplies but I imagine it was sounding weird because of the power supply. I've had mine for over a decade. It's been on and off my board multiple times, thrown around by my kids and still works. Lately I've been messing with mine like the guy in this video. Main difference being I have a nano pog instead of a micro Pog.
