Easy way to isolate Univibe LFO power source?

[neiltheseal]

just built a Univibe based off the Electrovibe with Bug Monk mods and it sounds absolutely fantastic. However I want to make this a 2 in 1 pedal in the same enclosure and power source as a Super Fuzz.

This works in theory however the lfo from the Univibe affects the super fuzz even when it’s off. Even the led seems to pulse faintly in time with the lfo.

I was wondering if there was an easy way to isolate these two so that they can share the same enclosure but not have the Univibe affect the super fuzz quite so dramatically?

I tried usuing small value resistors to separate each pedal's power, however this didn't really help. It works fine with a separate power source of course.

I was hoping the brains here had a way to semi isolate the pedals.

First try by making all the grounds connect at one point - the power jack. Make it so the audio jack and enclosure grounds meet at the power jack and then have one ground cable go to the vibe board and another to the fuzz. Don't wire the audio jack grounds direct to the vide board to use it as a ground distribution.
