[Harp-L] Power adapters are NOT created equal

Excerpt(s) 

" What I do is to run it off a variable adapter at 4.5 volts 
rather than 9v. It gives me a realy nice little crunch that otherwise
wouldn't be there. I discovered this when I was playing once when the
battery died on me. " 

An den he sez : 

" Somebody on this list (I forget who) suggested the variable voltage
adapter (I got it at Radio Shack) and I tried it. " 

I tried the Radio shack adapters for effects pedals on two different
occasions: once with the variable one, and once with a fixed 300ma one: on
both occasions, the adapter caused an incredible amount of noise in the
circuit so I returned them.  I had the same problem with a Danelectro
adapter.  I'm using a Boss adapter and a Morley adapter now for two of my
effects and they are quiet as can be.
