Give her a gentle stroke, she'll be running in no time

I had the same Problem with my E H Electric Mistress,it would get noisey when I used the adapter but when I used 9V batteries it would soundgreat and even though it eats batteries I'd rather use them than a noisey adapter.BTW is the adapter matched in milliamps to the pedal?Some adapters operate up to 300 milliamps yet a lot of pedals are 50 Ma or less,a tech once told me that that can cause problems too.

Only if the current supplied is massively over the current draw of the unit. So if you're adaptor was delivering something like 20a and your pedal is only looking for 90ma. I think even that has more to do with the circuitry of the pedal. The old (ancient) Zoom units suffered from it. I'm pretty sure a pedal cant draw more current than it needs.
If you're adaptor can't provide enough current, that can cause noise. Usually the case when daisychaining effects. The adaptor only supplies about 3000ma but 27 effects all looking for 300ma each soon causes problems.

Them numbers are plucked out of thin air and not to be taken seriously.

Yep the Adapter is a daisychainer. I think I'm going to order just another EHX 9v adapter for it sometime, but I'll stock up on some batteries right now.

I'm going to go by some pawn shops and maybe the salvation army tomorrow to see if I can find some old brief case to start building my pedal board.

Or, I might gocheck the local cigar shop to see if they would have a large cigar box for a good price. That would make a cool pedal case...

I love my E-H pedals, but I think it's customary something goes wrong with them.

My Sovtek Muff (I was going to go for the Wicker like yours at first) has a horribly scratchy tone pot that I need to sort out.

Good to hear that your pedal is sorted out.

Theres probably no need to ditch your current powersupply Smokey. Though theres a lot of tripe written about daisychain supplies, a lot of it is supposition or based on people using them incorrectly.
All you really need to do is check the polarity of the EHX's socket. Make sure it's oriented properly for your powersupply (probably negative center). Then take a look at your supply's current rating. Then add the current draw of all your pedals that your powering from the thing. You need to make sure that your pedals aren't drawing more current than your supply can give.
At worst you'll have to buy a seperate powersupply just for the Muff, should it's adaptor socket be oriented opposite to your current powersupply. Or just add another 1spot(or whatever you choose) to your board and power a few pedals off that, to meet the total current draw.
Once that's sorted you can rule out the powersupply causing the problem.

Personally I use a couple of these plugged into a powerstrip inside my board.
