Default Roland AC-33 amp - power cord

Hi all,
I play outside with my Roland AC-33 amp using batteries. When inside, I'd like to plug it in to save my batteries. Does anyone know specifically which adapter/cord to get? I tried one from Ebay which makes a loud humming noise.

Thank you,
Pauline

The genuine Roland power supply is grounded with a three wire plug going into the wall.

Most of the third party supplies are ungrounded (two wire). Sometimes they will work and sometimes they won't. You can manually ground your AC-33 by attaching a wire to the screw of a wall outlet cover plate and the other end to the amp's chassis. If that sounds like something you don't know how to do, then don't :~). I made one of these for just this problem. On one side it is wired to a wall plug ground and the other side is a ring that fits (in this case rather loosely) around the outside of the DC plug.
