Hey guys,
I have the FX8 mkii & use it in 4cm with a Friedman Runt 50 head with Humbuster cables & NO HUM, BUZZ or issues AT ALL.
But....."For the love of God", I need some help with a 2nd/new set-up.
I have a new Carvin Legacy 3 amp & just love the tones in it!
But....I have a ground loop I believe, or at least some LOUD BUZZ that needs to be fixed.
When I unplug one of the humbuster cables plugged into the FX loop, the buzz goes away.
There's no ground lift on the metal chassis of the Legacy 3 amp either. I have also tried regular (non-humbuster) cables & that didn't do a thing to remove the noise.
Does anyone use a Carvin Legacy 3 amp & the Fractal FX8? If so, what's your set-up & do you have "The Buzz"?
I tried different outlets & that also didn't work either.
Is there a way to lift the ground on a Legacy amp?
I also tried a 2-prong adapter on the amp cord & got a very loud feedback when I turned the amp on.
I'm thinking that this is just a simple ground loop, but can't figure out how to fix this....
Any ideas? I've read a lot of 4 cable mode threads & buzz threads, but no luck!
Peace! X
PS - I'm using the presets that are noise free through the Friedman Runt's FX loop that I created.....& thought they would be the same & buzz free. This is a buzz & not a hiss too.
