Just wanted to get some input from others on how they deal with instrument noise. My SG is not the quietest guitar, but seems to pick up more noise when playing through the Axe Fx than when playing through my tube amp. It may just be my imagination, but it seems like I have more noise coming in on the input since going from FW 4.xx to FW 5.xx. When I listen back to recordings I made with earlier FW versions, I don't hear as much noise. I've tried different cables, and they don't seem make much difference. I notice it mostly when notes taper off, and I begin to hear more noise than tone from the guitar. My issue is not "hum", just seems to be noise picked up by the guitar. I have already added some sheilding to the component cavity of the guitar, which did help a little. Also curious how everyone is running their noise gates (input gate only, gate placed later in the signal chain, both...).
Edit: This post is in no way meant to point fingers at the Axe Fx II as having a "Noise" problem, it is meant to be a thread where we can share our methods of dealing with noise induced by outside sources.
