[@braincelluniverse]

The noise from the pedal is digital power noise coming through the USB cable from the computer or switching power supply. Try the 9V power and that noise will probably go away.

[@-vickyspit-]

That noise will go away if you use a dedicated plug into a dedicated outlet. I thought mine was defective, too, but it isn't. Sort of a pain though to have to do that, but it works.

[@onlyusernameleft2]

It also doesn't like sharing a power supply with other pedals. I've seen both 100mA and 300mA power draw in sales listings so I stay safe and just give it 500. I haven't had any problems with digital noise or popping sounds. It's a great sounding pedal for the cost but I don't use it very often because the build quality is not great. The selection knob feels loose compared to the Boss RV-6 and the Joyo Atmosphere. The Joyo pedal has the sturdiest feeling knob of all my verbs despite the Boss being twice the combined cost of the others.

[@-vickyspit-]

No. It needs a dedicated power source.

[@frankstetka7206]

Joyo is pretty surprising quality yes.

[@onlyusernameleft2]

@@frankstetka7206 yeah I have a handful of Joyo pedals. I like the Atmosphere that I mentioned and the Aquarius delay. The Orthos line selector is a lot of fun too because you can run signal chains in parallel. I have the Voodoo octave fuzz which I've been using with a Boss SL-2 Slicer, DD-8 delay and a Wampler Terraform to make faux synthesizer sounds that almost sound like 16 bit video game tunes.

[@daccrowell4776]

Just because something has a USB port doesn't mean that it's for power. I have the Mini Universe and a number of Cuvave (same company... Shenzhen Grand) stompboxes myself...and they never sound like that because I use the DC inputs with isolated multi-out supplies. The USB ports, surprisingly enough, are actually supposed to be digital audio outputs. You CAN power them with it...but then you have to deal with the trashy DC one often finds on these. Note also that the Cube Whatever has a separate audio USB connector. In this case, the best bet is to charge the internal LiON pack before use and go all 1970s old-skool on battery. But if you really gottagottagotta power these via USB, your USB cable needs a toroid or some similar ferrite device. Make sure the center hole is big enough for a couple of turns of the USB cable, wind that on with a couple of passes thru the ferrite or toroid as close as possible to the output connector on the device, then plug it in...and like Dave Gahan's smack habit says, "Enjoy the Silence". ANYTHING powered by USB that passes audio should use that tactic. Yep, anything. You're using the inductor there to strip out the digital hash and ONLY leave the DC at the connector to the device. Frankly, I do that with ALL DC inputs in my live and studio setups because it simply works and lets me keep my mind on my music, instead of forcing me into a situation where I have to hunt down the crud source and fix it on the fly. As far as Chinese pedals are concerned, though...I use a pile of them alongside a bunch of others from Yogyakarta to Tacoma and back again. The Chinese stuff has very different sweet spots when compared to what they're replicating...and that keeps my working process on its toes, which then opens up new sonic possibilities. Very worthwhile!

This right here. All of it.

The funny thing is, you're doing a video about TEMU's products even though they are technically not sponsoring you. TEMU is still getting similar exposure and advertising that they would with a sponsorship, but for free without paying Ed.

[@terrorbirds9835]

That hum with the first pedal is often a result of being plugged into a computer at the same time as a USB. Try it without a USB hooked up (like just between guitar and amp).

[@ralphhathaway-coley5460]

The noise issue with the mini universe is from the USB power, you really need to use the usual pedal supply. It is a great pedal especially for the price, I have two so I can now run them in stereo!

[@lrgstmrg]

The noise that the reverb pedal is making is coming from your computer, not the pedal itself. Unhook the USB connection and connect it directly to a 9V power source and that noise will go away.

[@WVLFRVN]

I did't buy from TEMU, but I got a M-VAVE Bluetooth wireless 5-pin w/ USB dongle off eBay for $15. It works flawlessly and allowed me to play my Moog iOS app with an old 90's Casio 61 key keyboard. Unfortunately, I broke my current iMac's bluetooth whilst rebuilding it, (doh!) and I haven't gotten around to trying the M-VAVE usb dongle yet. Parenting is real. If it works? I'm thinking about connecting it to my Roland TD-6v drum module.

Use a Noisegate for pedal noise. It's another kind of pedal. Put it at the end of your signal chain. I've had a few, the one Im currently using is Boss NS-2 Noise suppressor

[@acerbt]

That cheep electronic toy keyboard is a varient of the my music center keyboard system, which uses basic single cycle wave forms and a few samples played on a simple chip originally ment for speech and basic music. That particular one is a more non standard varient.

[@lilranchocharles1201]

the last one was giving me jetpack joyride vibes

[@TheDavidPoole]

Although that keyboard is a total POS, it's ripe for circuit bending. And you can easily add an audio output jack from the speaker wires.

[@anonymike8280]

You have a point. By the way, I have seen where some people have complained about how many of the 61-key keyboards did not have line out. If they did, it would be purely cometic. It would only be an alternate routing of the headphone output. They would not add separate circuitry for line output. It is what it is.

[@potatosareyummy-c6h]

what’s up! I subbed! This is the first time I’ve ever seen you, and I already love this channel! Keep up the good work 🤙

[@thatfeeble-mindedboy]

Anything you test that includes a ‘mix’ or ‘balance’ control, you should always begin with it as ‘dry’ as possible. That way, we can tell exactly what is being added to or altered about the original signal. As you know, something like reverb can go from a barely detectable but amazing enhancement to a ridiculous down-a-well perversion no one is going to like simply by incorrect use of the control of the ratio of direct signal-to-modified-signal. Higher-end units often had ‘processed signal only’ outputs so that they got their own separate channel on the mixer with all of the resources that brings with it - like input attenuation, choice of hi-z/low-z input, volume fader, EQ, output assignment including aux busses, pre or post fader choice, etc. etc. - so it’s kind of an important thing. Just a suggestion/thought. Good video, thanks!

[@Reeldin58]

I think the "Cube Baby" gizmo is fantastic. I bought one a couple of years back. I liked it so much I ordered a second one to future proof things a bit. I use it on most of my recordings and for the player on a budget I don't think you could do much better.

[@ViviSectia]

They released an upgraded version earlier this year called Tank-G. It's worth checking out since it has better amp sims, a noise gate, more choices of effects, and amp profiling like a tonex pedal.
