I'm getting so much buzz/hum when I turn on one of my OD pedals (Friedman BE-OD), to the extent where I can't turn it up to a useable level at gigs. It doesn't happen with lower gain pedals like my D&M Drive though.
I know a bit of noise is to be expected with an OD once you starts turning the gain up, but this isn't usable at gigging volumes.
I'm using a PedalPower 2+, but I have a total of 10 pedals going into it via a couple of daisy chains. Could the excessive noise on the OD be partly down to me pushing the power supply to it's limit?

I also reduced the gain on my amp - (it's a Suhr Badger 35, so not a high gain amp) it was set just to the point of breakup, but I've now set it completely clean which has helped slightly. Reducing the level on the pedal's internal trim pot has also helped a little, but still a touch on the noisy side.
Maybe it's just a quirk with this pedal given how much gain it's capable of putting out?
The amp was plugged in straight into the wall and the PSU was plugged into an extension lead running into the same outlet.
Thanks for the help with this, it's been driving me mad!
