I've had a new pedalboard set up for a week with no noise issues whatsoever. Yesterday however all of a sudden I've got this annoying noise when I turned the amp on which is made a lot worse when the distortion/ fuzz/ TS are on.
I usually use the fuzz into the TS for more clarity and never had any noise issue but now it's undoable. The same with the mudhoney, the TS or the fuzz in isolation ate a higher gain settings. What's odd is that I have not made any change to pedalboard.
The pedal board is powered by a HB Power Plant Junior with 5 isolated outputs of 120 mA each. I had to daisy chain the Delay, Chorus (in the loop) and tremolo which goes in front of the amp. All other pedals are isolated except the tuner and the mudhoney which share the same Y cable.
I don't have the mA requirements for the TC pedals but I know that the echosex takes 53 mA which leads to me believe that I'm not exceeding the total power output of the Power Junior. Here's a pic:

No, most aren't even close to that. An average analogue modulation is in the 30-40mA range and a simple digital pedal 50-80mA.

Using either the Tele or the Strat, does the noise stop when you turn the guitar down to zero? (Les Pauls are sometimes wired differently.)

Have you recently acquired any new gadgets with mains power supplies? Or worse, if you're in a flat, have the neighbours...
