Toublshooting a "buzzzzing" Boss distortion Pedal (orange ones)

[cordura21]

I know, "why are you usng it in the first place?". Well, it's a given, what can I do.

This thign makes a terrible loud buzzz when stepped in. At first I thought it was the power supply (one of those multi ones, since the player doesn't use batteries). Maybe it's the lights, etc...

Any tips? TIA, Andrés

Try a battery instead of the power supply as was suggested by gbondo9 and hope thats whats causing the buzz( more like a buzz/hum in my case).
The only time I've ever had this happen with a pedal(Boss Turbo Dostortion DS-2-Orange ) it was caused by the power supply.(it was a 1.5-12V multi one from radio shack with all the different connectors and voltage switch on the face of it)
Universal-Multi power supplies dont always match up with foot-pedals for some reason even though they are the right voltage.
