Anyone has a Strymon power brick in good condition? Ideally this one https://www.andertons.co.uk/strymon-strymon-uk-power-supply-strymonpsu to power an Iridium. Not crazy money for a new one but seeing if anyone no longer needs theirs

    I don’t think they’re even strymon branded. Just pick-up any one you can find on amazon etc. 9v centre negative, 5.5x2.1mm, and at least 500ma will power any strymon or near any other pedal you have. 

    This would do:

    "Iridium was designed as a an amp modeler solution in a pedal format that you can drop into any pedalboard.  Like most other guitar pedals, it receives its ground connection via the 1/4″ output jacks.  When listening to Iridium through the headphone output and using a wall adapter, there is no connection earth ground like there is with an amplifier.  This causes some noise (hum) and is usually reduced when you ground the guitar by touching the strings.  The adapter that is included with Iridium significantly reduces this hum when compared to similar parts.  If an amplifier with an earth ground connection is available, then, the hum can be eliminated by connecting the LEFT or RIGHT OUT from Iridium to the input of the amplifier.  The amplifier doesn’t need to be powered on for the ground to be provided.  Power supplies like the Zuma and Ojai have much better filtering and isolation which will improve the noise performance."

    Don't know if this is snake oil but tempted to try the stock one
