I've found myself lately getting distracted by a certain 'interference' sound on high gain patches, during the attack phase of single notes & chords.
It's been so long since I played a real amp that I went to the studio today and checked my guitar through a Dual Rectifier, and that certainly does not exhibit the same behaviour.
Heres a recording I did of a few factory presets I included a few low gain amps to demonstrate what I'm hearing to a lessor extent, but you can really hear the 'interference' from 0:52 to 1:05 - the Brit 800 patch.

Amps are:
<0:14 65 Bassguy
0:14-0:33 Deluxe Verb
0:34-0:50 Double verb
0:50-1:05 Brit 800
>1:06 USA Clean ( just included for reference)
The 'interference' sound I'm hearing reminds me of the main gun in the old video game 'Defender' if you're old enough to remember that (!) sort of white noise-ish.
It doesn't start exactly with the pick attack but builds very shortly afterwards - hopefully you'll be able to hear what I'm hearing..
Like I say it's really on the higher gain patches that it's noticeable - and there is a definite cumulative effect when playing chords.
What do you think - does this sound perfectly normal or is something amiss?
Any input gratefully received.
Cheers
