HELP!!!
Hey guys, I switched from a Kemper to an AX8 about a month ago and I adore the AX8. I'm having a bit of a noise/buzzing/hissing problem in my home/studio that I've never had before.
Certain high gain patches have a ton of noise but some don't. Some clean patches have a weird amount of noise, as well. I changed guitars, cables, rooms, outlets and nothing has helped. Noise gates help but I'd much rather isolate and fix the problem rather than cover it up.
I built my house and I'm a nerd, so it's fully automated and has full, in home audio with 30 in ceiling speakers. I have automated dimmers throughout the entire house. I also have all my a/v components in a closet on the second floor. I noticed that turning dimmers on/off can affect the noise. Also, turning the amp that drives the in ceiling speakers affects the noise, as well.
Even with the dimmers and amp off, I still get noise that changes depending how I'm holding my guitar or if I move positions.
I need to get this setup quiet for studio use. I'm a producer and a session player. I didn't have this issue with my Kemper, for whatever reason.
Any advice or insight would be insanely appreciated??
Ibanez J Custom ---> AX8 ---> powered studio monitors.
I have a couple videos of the noise but the files are too big to attach.
