Hey everyone, I've been racking my head about this for a little while and I'm not sure what to do..maybe you guys can help.
Since the AX8 now has replaced all my other pedals, and I'm selling the rest of my old guitar pedal rig, I'm trying to figure out what to do about the 60 cycle hum on my single coil guitar(s).
My first thought is to switch to humbuckers instead of single coils, my second thought is the noiseless" single coils, but my third thought is to somehow keep my noise suppressor pedal (currently the ISP Decimator G version 1) in the chain somehow, but I'm not sure if this is what I should do or how to go about it.
The Decimator G, for anyone that doesn't know, basically cuts of any noise/hum, but if dialed in too high can quickly "decay" or lower the guitar tone so there's no ringing left. Traditionally, it's done after the OD pedals, and before the modulation/delay pedals to have the fullest effect. I was thinking about maybe throwing this into my FX loop pedal via my guitar signal, but I wanted to use a different pedal in that spot instead, and I'm not sure if this is right or the best option.
Anyway that's just my little background on where I've been thinking these last few days...and I'm more curious what you guys are doing and if you found a better way to do all of this because I'm sure there are some AX8 single coil guitar players out there, and I'm just out of ideas beyond what I listed above. And I also know there's a noise gate in the pedal itself, but according to what I read, it's not for noise like the 60 cycle hum, but rather for something else?
Any help/suggestions are more than appreciated. Thank you
