e) Power supply with toroidal transformer & isolated outputs.
I run 14? (too lazy to get up and check) pedals with no noise or hum. Only buffer is a TU-3 at the front, rest are TBP (which is not deliberate, there are plenty of buffered effects I'd like to own).

it's not that bad for now, so i put up with it. some of the not-so-badness may be due to the RV-3 buffer after the fuzz and/or the SERIOUS buffer in the TC chorus/flanger which is next to last in the chain. someday when i have money again i'm going to get an isolated power supply. the only time i've ever used a gate in my life was when i had a DBA Interstellar Overdriver Deluxe and had to use the gate because the triggered-vibrato mode was so noisy when not actually sounding a note.

this. i build my own longer cables, use good power supplies with isolated outs and make sure digital shtuff is always alone and i have a stupid buuts quiet setup running around 10 or 12 pedz i think.

with your...momentary fuck switch and all..
I might be magic? The only noise comes from my single coils. I'm pretty sure my power supplies aren't transformer isolated, but I do have two separate ones. My cables are pretty horrible. I only run six pedals in a chain though, so my board isn't among the larger ones here.
Yeah I'm running 16 pedals with a power (two actually) supply and don't have much noise. My BB gives off some when not palying but I can just click it off.
