I own a single rectifier and when I plug into my effects loop I get a terrible humm. Can anyone tell me what this is. I tried running my effects off of batteries but this did not have much of an effect, still noisy. Is this typical?

Could you give us a bit more information about what effects are you using in the loop?
Cheers!

The EH HG is NOTORIOUS for developing a horrible hum.. you said you tried them seperate so it's probably not that, try getting just the DD5 working.. put your send/return both right at noon and then use the delay's volum effect knob.. if you still get a hum, look into replacing the V4 12ax7 as that controls the FX loop... could be bad.
I am using the parallel adapter and pwering it off of my TU2. That should work right?Dead Moon Rising said:do you have the proper power supplies for the pedals? Chorus and Delays need a regulated supply. without the proper "wall-wart" you'll a nice 60hz hum at the outputs.

You will need one PSU for the loop pedals to share and another PSU for any pedals before the amp.
It sounds as though your TU2 is (correctly) before your amp. Do not power the loop from it.
