This sounds like a problem with the grounding of your bridge pickup to me. Another possibility would be being too close to the monitor of your computer, they can cause this buzzing too. Check the grounding of your pickup (or try a different guitar) and also try turning away from your monitor. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I don't see any other reason for now.. What pickups do you use? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I thought is just outputs the same signal of your guitar (unaffected by the amp) in order for you to connect different amp as a "slave" ? Some amps have emulated DI output or recording output (signal there goes through preamp and is affected by the amp) but that may be the different story here..
