Well, thought I'd post this in here as it'll get more replies.. hopefully!

Basically, my DD3 screams like anything whenever I use the adapter. It's not a Boss one, so maybe this is the cause?

Also, it screams when its not in use,and gets higher when it's on. :?

Are you trying to tell us that the pedal is fine when you use a battery ?

CHeck that the adapter is a "regulated" one. It doesn't need to be a Boss unit. Just needs to be 9V, able to supply enough mA's to supply the total of whatever pedals you are using it to power (the DD-3 alone needs at least 65mA), also needs to state that it is a regulated power supply. Also needs to be an "internal negative" connection to the pedal.

I think your pedal has a tiny Warlock trapped inside, what you're hearing are his cries for help.

Don't you hear "Legendary Tales" a la '97 playing in the backround? (shudders at the thought PDT_024 )

Kind of related, not deserving its own thread, and since this problem is pretty much solved.
Do digi delays self oscilate?
I think I have heard in reviews that analog can make a screamy noise when turned off, but could it be that?
