Hi I've trying to create a recording chain of
Chandler Abbey Road TG Channel > ADR Gemini Easy Rider > Tape Deck
for hours without success.
I'm pretty sure it's because of the pigtail connections at the back of the ADR Gemini Easy Rider compressor which is similar to an old Urei 1176. At first I was advised to just connect the red to + and blue to - for input and output and then leave the ground wires alone, which gave good sound but also a loud hum plus lots of electrical noise. The hum went down when I connected the input ground to - with the red wire (see photo), but then the LED stopped working and the sound became quieter.
Should I be connecting anything to the "chassis"? Are my DIY pigtails terrible? I'm pretty lost and would appreciate any help.
Many thanks!
