    Well the real test will be if it eliminates the pedal hum that I've been experiencing with my fuzz pedal.
    If it does get rid of it, then I'll keep the pedal, if not then I'll upgrade myself to a different pedal.

    Also I'd feel that they'd need to have a pretty decent transformer in order to have a total of 1600mA output right?
    I also like that they added additional shielding.

    Well new psu came this morning after an order mix up. Got it all plugged in and currently running it. Now just have to see if there are any errors throughout the day. I hope this at least fixes the problem so I can start streaming.

    Okay, so I've just joined Discord for the first time and it doesn't seem too bad in my opinion. I think I might accidentally click some buttons in the beginning since it's a simple layout but it hides a lot of the settings and stuff from the user. I might have to have a little mess around with it too at some point if I can encourage my friends to swap over. That would be awesome if I can so League games would be easier to setup and I wouldn't have to have notification sounds buzzing out of my friends ears on my phone.

    I am currently grating made breakfast by a guy I like. Had a sleepover. No naughty business.

    Wooooooooo I'm on a spending spree and someone needs to stop me before it gets too out of hand!! >A<
    Not long after spending about $180 on my power supply, I just now shelled out about $250 on a new compressor pedal and a 1ft long patch cable.
    No regrets....sort of. >w>

    It should, hum is usually caused by bad power supply filtering, although other odd little things in the pedal can cause it too, for instance bad bypass filter capacitors or poor line routing like routing the input wire near an AC lead or something. Pretty important in instrument amplifiers since guitars and basses use tiny signal levels that need a lot of amplification so any external noise is gonna be really annoying.

    A transformer is a transformer...sorta! If it's a toroidal type those are better for rejecting line noise, external magnetic fields and are more efficient. Also, as a rule of thumb, the bigger and heavier the transformer, the more current it can supply. Big capacitors for filtering would add to the weight of the device too and are also good. And additional shielding is a bonus, that ensures no external fields will interfere with the output of the supply.

    Before the common use of switching power supplies, the weight of an amplifier pretty much told you the quality of the power supply and hence the amp. It wasn't uncommon for a good amp to weigh 50 pounds...

    That statement on the amps is absolutely true!
    And I just got around to testing things out with the power supply and the hum is significantly less than with my previous supply. However the pedal itself isn't as great as I would like it and honestly I'm not even sure if I like the fuzz distortion on bass.

    EDIT
    After doing a bit more trouble shooting, I have fixed the problem with the speakers.
    All is right with the world.

    Put on a nice clean pair of jeans today, first wear after washing. About an hour later I got mustard on my crotch. :(

    So remember how I said that I was on a buying spree and I needed to stop...welp I failed and ended up bringing home another pedal, only this one was only $44 so it's not as bad as it seems ^.=.^;

    That's the first sign of trouble.....

    In other news, I got my hotel booked for tomorrow. My Deadpool suit is laid out along with my belts, and got my luggage packed. I packed a simple furry outfit, as Saturday is looking to be 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Also brought a swimsuit!

    Yeah I agree.
    Though given the fact that this is the first time I've bought myself some nice things in quite some time (at least 5-7 months or so) so I feel like it was worth it for the most part.

    Started up a 2 mile walk/run workout today. Man it felt good to just get out and walk off my stress and get myself on track to healthier me. Plus the hot shower helped as well too lol. :smile:

    Went to check out an apartment today with S. Turns out it's catty corner to our friend's place! It's bigger than the current apartment, and we can have a cat or two there. The landlady was kind of kooky, but ultimately very friendly.

    We decided we're taking it. We move in this August. :3
