Modules with issues with the intellijel power supplies.

Post by reodjectz » Wed Jun 14, 2017 8:39 am

I've run into a few issues with modules that only happen in my intellijel cases. I have 1 case with the TPS30W MINI and another with the TPS80W

Audio Damage Aerverb mk2- This module simply did not work with either case. (but worked with my other cases). Control in NYC replicated this problem with the TPS30W mini and other Aerverbs mk2, but not the TPS30W MAX, I don't know if they tested with the TPS80W...

4MS DLD - About 80% of the time when powered on with the TPS80W I get white noise out of the A out, even if nothing is patched. This isn't happening with any other power supplies I have. (seems to happen more if the module is on for sum time, briefly turned off then back on.)
EDIT - I have had this happen in a few other cases now so I think this is with my module and not the intellijel power.

The Harvastman Double Andore MkII- noise from either envelope out when on the slew setting. I have this issue with a Makenoise power supply too, but not in with tiptop or synthrotec's DIY power.

Not sure where to look for help for these problems - the module maker or intellijel?

Those are all switching supplies, have you tried any linear supplies?

...well my issue is with the power supply so obviously swapping that would fix things.

WRT the Audio Damage module you may be having the issue described in this thead. viewtopic.php?p=2257881#2257881 Toward the end a fix is discussed.

wow lots of flaming in there - but thank you. It seems that one of the hinted 'shitty power supply' (NOT MY WORDS), are the Intellijel ones. /sigh.

Regarding sending in the back plate of the Aerverb 2mk - I was so set on it going in my intelljel case rig that I returned it already.

I don't think the same '-12 volt sag' that is causing the AD module problems is the same thing as the DLD and DAmk2.

Just trying to get some info out there... and it looks like we should add the dub jr. to the list of modules of to be weary of getting if it is going in an intellijel case.

EDIT - looks like Chris may have fixed the issue, but some are saying no help?

Quick edit in the main post to clarify things. I think that my DLD problem is with the module and not the intelljel case. I have now had it happen in non-intellijel cases.

Trebber's link talks about the Audio Damage modules issue.... and its a weird one...

So this only leaves the DAmk2 issue which is minor and happens on a few different power supply and talked about elsewhere on muffs.

SO I think the big take away is: DON'T WORRY. I think the problem is mine alone. :bang:
