It's got nothing to do with the converter, I put it on another 12 vdc battery and the pedals were quiet. I'm going to try a few things, but thanks for the interest!

No, not at all. When I power it from a separate source of 12 vdc there's no issues. It's only when they share the common source battery.

Not for the amplifier, just for effects pedal power. The amp is still at 12 Vcc

Amplifier Discussion / Pedal Hiss?

Hello all,
Recently I built a cool amp based off of a kit I purchased off of eBay from a place in Florida called Valkits. Great little amp, if you give it a push....it uses a jfet as a buffer amp with signal being taken off the source side, so zero gain, but lower impedance, into a baxandall stack into a tl071, into a tda2030a. I added a jfet preamp using a j201, with a drain voltage of about 6 volts after a 22k resistor with 12 VDC fed from a Milwaukee M12 cordless tool battery! I also added a dc to dc 12 volt to 9 volt Amazon "converter" which is just a regulator, for a source of pedal power. It works and sounds fantastic, but with my pedals ran from the same supply as the amp, I get a constant white noise hiss. You can't hear it with signal present but it's really annoying! When I switch pedal power to an independent source, the hiss isn't there! Any good noise filter suggestions?

Hello all,
Working on a Pignose 30/60, which doesn't have any bias or offset pots, and I just replaced the drivers and output transistors. The amp sounds great, but my background is predominately vacuum tubes so I'm not even sure whether this even matters?

If I can figure out how, I'll post a schematic. The amp is from 1979 but the schematic is on the web.

Thanks in advance,

Pete
