Alo Cosmin,
The HT1 has an ISF control but sometimes, depending on the guitar I am using, I want a bit more treble so I put the guitar through the ME80 and just use the EQ. There is a section on the ME80 that is just EQ without any pre-amp in the circuit, eg, tweed, metal etc. http://www.blackstaramps.com/products/ht-1rh/ Noroc Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

What sort of cables are you using?

Alo Cosmin,
I am using Whirlwind Leader cables, not pro quality I know but I am sure a lot of the issues are from the shitty mains. Noroc buddy.

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Nov 30 2014, 12:44 PM) Hey mate - what exactly do you mean with mains? Main cables? Never heard about these cables, but I had lesser quality cables which were not causing trouble, so if you don't want to invest any extra cash into the idea, I think you can try your luck with some 15-20 bucks cables which will work fine for home recording. I had Cordial, which worked fine Alo Cosmin, When I say "mains" I mean the wiring in the house. When I had those new pickups in the Epiphone the hum was horrendous, took it back to the shop with my amp and my leads and there was no hum, well, there was only the amount you would expect from a Peavey Bandit on full gain.

Hello folks,
Probably looking at around £5000 to rewire the house so no no no no  Cheers Todd, I'll look into that MXR. Cheers Klasaine I'll look into those too. All the best Phil This post has been edited by Phil66: Nov 30 2014, 09:56 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

K man has a great point. If you don't already have a decent power filter on the front end, you should get one. Some of the cheaper units really are just glorified power strips. You pay a little extra for noise isolation/filtering but it will help. It won't fix things but it will help
COSMIN: The Black Art of noise gating is one I've been working on for years as I love high gain. I use fairly subtle gating which is why I stack gates. Each gate has it's own noise elimination profile and does a certain type of noise removal/reduction so each one is set to it's bare minimum. That way I dont have to be ham fisted with one single gate just crushing my gain or sustain. But if I had to pick only one it would be the MXR as it's the most variable in it's control. It's the upgraded version of the NOISE CLAMP unit you mentioned. You can choose to gate only the treble, treble and mid, or full sound, so it's very flexible.P.S. There is a 2 port version of that very spiff trip lite box which you could then run a power strip out off It's a bit cheaper but still has the nice filtering section of it's big brother. http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-ISOBLOK2-...1QMG8NCMV9J0407  I"m using a rack mount version which has been very helpful. IT's about $200 in the U.S. http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-SMART1500...=rack+mount+ups  QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Dec 1 2014, 03:52 AM) The MXR Noiseclamp is a very interesting device
I saw this video a few years ago and it got me totally hooked:Notice how the little light in the right corner of the pedal stays on when you are not playing? That's the coolest thing about this little one - it's only active when you aren't playing, so that it won't eat any of your gain while you are actually playing @Todd - mate, isn;t stacking all those noisegates eating away at your gain?

Hi!
UPDATE  I didn´t bought the GEORGE LS cable, I bought the EVIDENCE AUDIO SIS. Also solder free. And the PALMER 01 http://www.thomann.de/gb/palmer_pli01_line_isolation_box.htm And the cables have now a bigger distance to the power supply. The PALMER is very sensitive and start to hum if the distance to the power supply is to short. So I removed the PALMER from the board and put it directly onto the amp head. So now, I am almost hum-free But the hissing gets louder  So I bought the ISP Noisegate, to reduce the hiss. Honestly, I would think twice if I would start to build a pedalboard again.

Hey mate - glad to hear you found a way
Well, about noise gates, you can talk to Todd Simpson - I know he knows a lot about the topic!
