Weird noise issue with my pedal board what do you guys use for Power supplies?

In the loop I'm running a Rocktron Deep Blue Chorus,a Boss DD 3 delay and a Newnaber Wet V5 Verb. Front of amp a Vox Wah and a SP compressor. This particular board is set up for my Mesa Boogie Subway Rocket small gig grab and go rig. I ran the One Spot wall wart into the board and it got rid of the ring but was hella noisy with a big buzz. Buzz with the One Spot was worse than the ring with the Gator and that surprised me. This was what made me post this thread as was a real eye opener.

This is going to take some troubleshooting time but doing this should help narrow it down. Start by using the OneSpot and using it with just the wah out front. If it’s ok, add the compressor. Leave everything else disconnected and out of the signal path. If all is good, add one pedal at a time to the loop signal chain and with power. In fact, run everything though the front of the amp while doing this. If still ok afterwards, add the loop pedals back to the loop. You may find what is causing the noise. Do the same with the Gator power supply and you may find what is causing the ring.

Have the rig set up right now for an event tonight but will do. On the Gator it was simple only my SP compressor was affected by the ring and otherwise it was MUCH quieter than the One Spot was. Was frankly shocked at how noisy in particular the One Spot was even when i bypassed the effects in the front of the amp and just ran what was in the loop! This has made me look harder into my power supplies. Playing in Churches with suspect power often makes me much more susceptible to having noise issues any way. To eliminate dirty power issues to my boards is something I really need to do ASAP!

How many milliamps is your total draw on the board? The One Spot allows up to like 1000ma total. How much does the Gator allow?
I’ve not had noise issues with the One Spot like you’ve mentioned. And I have 3 of them, owned 4 total.

The Gator was 1800 Ma total. It was MUCH quieter than the One Spot adapters I have but had that weird ring with my SP compressor only. Was absolutely shocked at just how noisy the little One Spots were ( tried 2 to make sure) head to head compared to anything else I tried. The unit I wound up using has no brand but was rated at 1500 MA. Have a lot of noise issues with my board at my Church in particular. Absolutely can NOT run a split humbucker or single coil in that room. Thinking I need a real supply with a good transformer and true isolation for there for certain.
That board is really basic with a Boss DD7 delay and a Neunaber Seriphiem V2 Verb in the loop with a Boss CS 3 and TS9 in the front of my PRS MT 15.
