Could indeed be an issue with the pedal itself. If this was a very high gain pedal, I could understand some tendency to self-oscillate, but even then, a well designed & constructed pedal should be able to avoid squealing problems when powered with a good quality adapter. What kinds of adapters have you tried powering it with?
