Okay so I have found the problem on why I'm getting feedback after I stop playing with my electric guitar and my Axe fx 2. When I'm playing, especially distorted, on any guitar I have with active or passive pickups, I get that feedback buzz. I've asked around here, as well as doing some research, and I'm positive my patches do not have too much gain, too much master volume or anything like that. I've tested the cable, switched it out with other cables, switched guitars with it, and that's not the problem either.
I think my problem is ground loop buzz and/or EMI feedback. What I am doing now to try and fix this, is to put some copper conductive tape in the cavities off all of my guitar, after a user on here linked me a video on how to fix ground loop buzz. I am also going to clean the pots on all my guitars, as I have heard this contributes to the sound.
The last thing I am going to do to ensure I don't get any unwanted feedback, is to buy an Ebtech Hum X, and put it on my power strip. The problem I have though, is I don't know what could be causing the ground loop buzz, so I don't know which electronic I should plug into the hum X. Currently, I have my Axe fx 2, Desktop computer, computer monitor, and external hard drive as part of my studio setup. I saw a video on a user that bought it, and he plugged his laptop cord into the Hum x, and all the hum was gone. I am wondering if I should plug in my PC into it, which is what I think I should do, or if I should plug in my Axe fx, or something else in it to eliminate the ground loop buzz? Thank you.
