Anyone using a Zoom MS-50G?
I've found that when powering it with batteries, there is a constant high-pitched whine that is loud/annoying enough to make using the unit impractical.
It's made worse when using any distortion/amp simulation effect, but disappears completely when powering from a 9v adapter.
I'm going to return it, but just wondered if this is a general problem with the unit (in which case there is no point getting a replacement) or if mine might be faulty.
Thanks for any help…
Edit: Just made an odd discovery. If I remove the batteries and power from the adapter only, it is still noisy - so it only works without noise if I have both batteries AND mains power available. Weird...
