Ground Loop Hum......

[some_dude]

I'm currently using a Godlyke Powerall on my board.

When I power the effects that're out front and the effects that're in the loop, I get a bad ground loop going on, and it's getting on my nerves.

Now, the easy (and costly) solution is to get a Pedal Power 2, but I was wondering if there was a cheaper way of removing the ground loop?

Would running two Godlykes work? Or would they still form a loop?

Run the effects in front off one supply, and the ones in the effects loop from another. Don't put them all on the same supply.

What about buying a ground lift?

The best I can tell is that the ground loop is internal somewhere in the preamp (it's looping through the input and effects loop). I tried lifting all the grounds in various orders with no success, and the Godlyke doesn't have a ground, so I can't lift it.

Fretfire has it correct. The cheapest and safest combo is the get another Godlyke powersupply for the effects in the loop.

You're both probably correct, but I was irritated and impatient so I ordered a PP2 last night anyway.

Thanks for the help though.
