Vox time machine high pitched whine?

[ICBM]

I binned it!

I have spoken to the eBay seller I bought it off and they are surprised to hear of the issues. They sent me a very lengthy reply about regulated supplies and getting enough power. Figures that it might be my crappy power bank? It wouldn't run my dd20.

Well it's working now - that's the main thing but I hate having a battery in my board - just means I have to always remember to unplug that pedal every time

It does sound like it's the Power Bank if it wouldn't run the DD-20 either - if it's not giving enough voltage that sounds like it might be doing the same as a bad battery.

I use a couple of Power Banks which I've had since it was about the only power supply you could buy, but I've beefed up a lot of the internal parts, and it still made my Boss PS-2 whine.

Sounds like you (and me!) just need a better power supply, to be honest!

Agreed - bought a diago power station off a chum this avo - let's hope it works !!!

Update

It still whines with the frikkin diago
Not with a battery - bloody things going on eBay later

The Diago isn't an isolated p s u

How about if you connect your psu to the battery clip ? Just make sure NOT to reverse the polarity .
Sounds like an issue with the dc socket side of the component board .
