That noise comin out of your amp is Feedback, you can buy This to solve it, its a noise gate. , its 100 bucks but it takes away the feedback and just like the description says, if your addicted to high gain (Metal Players) this is the product for you.

Another approach to it, there is no right or wrong with where you put your pedals, it's the final sound that counts and if a Wah sound better put last that's fine.
But, I'd do it differently just judging from the effect type used, not their brand but only judging from the effect type in general and I will explain why I do it differently. The noice gate I'd put straight after the guitar instead of last in the chain. Put last means that all the pedals before adds a lot of hiss, picks up fluorocent (heh... spelling?) hum and perhaps hum from an adaptor. Meaning the entire chain is a mess. The idea of having it first in the chain would be to quiet any hum or noice from the pickups and feed a clean signal further on for the rest of the pedals to work with. The noice gate last means you bring in noice from the pickups, feed that noicy signal to the distorion pedal and not only put distortion to the sound of the guitar but also to the hum for the remaining pedals to work with. There's also another type of noice filter that will cut signal tops and bottoms. That can be placed elsewhere, straight after the dist pedal may be the best place for it. Check what type you have. Noice gate or dynamic filter. And I'd always put the Wah first, you don't wanna Wah a signal with distortion, delay, reverb etc on it. Unless that gives some special effect you're looking for but for me and in general that comes first.

Ah ok thanks i just wondered how people would use more than one pedal. Well i don't use Wah should i be using it? i'll try that noise gate out and let you know how it goes i've got a feeling it's a device that will just stop feedback which is godo for me but won't help sound quality which is what i also need big time! I've read loads of reviews on the roland cube and everyone is saying that the distortion that comes with it is great so surely it's not the amp unless they're adding things onto it? I am using the built in distortion as i said no pedals at the moment what so ever it's literally Guitar > amp that's it with the built in effects. I usually only have the gain knob at about 9 o clock and the volume usually is wacked right up on both the guitar and amp. I notice when the volume is turned down low it doesn't sound like distortion at all i nfact it sounds like a clean tone, turn it up and like i said playing rhythm isn't too bad on it but as soon as you start playing lead that's it the worst sound ever i've never been able to get a good distortion sound. I hope i'm making sense here. Would it be possible for you to record it for us? When you turn down the colume and get a clean tone, is that the colume on the guitar? That's a common way to clean up or distort your tone. Could be feedback like the Uncreator says. Try putting the amp in a closet while you're on the other side of the door. Still a bad sound? If it is, switch places between you and the amp so you stand in the closet. Still a bad sound? Have you tried a different cord between the amp and the guitar? -------------------- My bands homepage
