Maybe this is a novice question but I haven't found an answer. I want to put several guitar effects circuits chained together in one enclosure. Some circuits are plain 9 volt and some are dual supply +9 and -9 volts.
My question is, if I use a line operated dual power supply from a CT transformer will I run into trouble with the ground? It seems to me that I will burn out half of the transformer. It is my understanding that a dual supply has a floating ground and the guitar amp's ground, which is connected by the guitar cable is connected to earth ground. Is my understanding right? what should I do?
Thanks, from someone with a very little knowledge.
