Today i was training some stuff with Dinky and on clean and i start to notice a buzz, but when i touch for example the guitar volume knob and keep my finger there the buzz disappear but as soon as a release the buzz come back, and if i do i like "touch release touch release" it sounds like a Buzz Kill switch and not only on the guitar volume knob but also on the bridge, strings or even in the jack. when i am playing there is no buzz but is kind of annoying for example when i am not playing and not hitting the strings and and hearing that buzz on the background also can hear some buzz while i am strumming open strings, like some kind of static electricity You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It turns out that I had my amp plugged into an outlet that had a bunch of other equipment also plugged in. We had a bunch of amps, a small PA, and other stuff on other circuits so there was a lot of electrical equipment. Ground loops can occur if you're not careful about how you wire for AC. In most cases, the voltages are very low and therefore, the current small. (unless you've got the polarity reversed on one of your amps, then it can actually be a dangerous situation). Then when you touch something that's grounded, even the strings, your body actually acts as a conductor, lowering the impedance to ground at the point you touch it (in this case your guitar). Your body effectively attenuates the signal preventing it from getting to the speakers. Try simplifying your AC power wiring. Temporarily plug your amp into it's own outlet and unplug other devices in the room. Turn off lights, especially flourescent ones. Make sure you're using a good guitar cable. If the problem goes away then it is realated to the above. If not, then well, disregard everything I've said . But it did work for me that time. I do remember cause it was quite odd that when I touched the strings the noise went away. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Does the Jackson have a push/pull pot to split the coils? Single coils would be worse for sure. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Therefore the buzzing is coming from the pickups... It could be due to: 1) your guitar setup - specially if the action has been lowered, neck is too straight, etc or 2) Interference from other electrical devices - monitors, tv, subwoofer, power supply, etc or 3) Wiring/shielding Note: there can be some natural humming on some guitars/amps at loud volumes / distortion tones.
