By that line of reasoning,
That's not a behavior that's isolated to modelers or this particular one. Crank a drive pedal and stick it in front of an amp that's on 10 and you'll have the exact same problem. It's because of all that gain, and is why clean or moderately driven clean tones don't do it. The fix is to roll your guitar volume back when you expect a quiet passage, and again, is what you'd have to do with a regular rig.
My man, the issue I’m having is literally on the decay of palm mutes or just any muting at all. You can hear interference and then it goes away. I’ve tried all kinds of different gate settings. Literally anything you can think of. I’ve been playing for quite some time and I’m aware of what’s normal and what’s not. I’ve never had this issue with any other gear I’ve used in this house.
This.
Yep, its the fix in most cases unless if there is a emi present, I was wondering if I was the only one in the forum that knows of this...
This is second house I've had to do this in. First one was built in 1985. It usually works when all else fails.
yup, op should be looking into how to get it done...
Roll of speaker wire from Walmart, probably attach it to any case screw, and run it to a copper cold water pipe....bet it would do it.
Im guessing that would work fine but if it was me I'd use 14 AWG wire....
I've used 18g speaker wire before to kill the hum in a pinch. Probably safer to use thicker wire in case of a fault. I'm using 12g solid Romex since I have a 530watt stereo amp in the rack, it's a permanent installation, and I had extra after running a new circuit in the house. Either way I'm not sure the breaker would trip if there were a fault since this ground bypasses the box ground. I'm no electrician so do this at your own risk. All I know is I've done this for 3 years here without a problem and 10 years at my last house. Only thing that worked.
Makes sense to me, i suppose you can go 8g solid core if you wat to be like a overkill, ha ha, though, copper is expensive and if your just running a fm3 and a small amp then I'm guessing speaker wire probably would work fine, I've don it 3 times over the years all at homes I've rented...
8g to a chassis screw...funny.
Even if I back the gain down to the point to where it’s not a usable patch for what I’m doing anymore, it still prevails. If it’s just a clean tone with a drive barely being pushed then not so much. The point is I’ve never had this much of an issue. And the patches I’m using don’t have some crazy gain structure or anything.
I’ve tried all the gates, classic, intelligent. I’ve sidechained the gate block to input 1. None of that works. Input 2 does the same exact thing. Just going from my guitar to the FM3
Then odds are really good the problem is not in the units themselves.
There is. It's kinda drastic, but can you take it to a different house?
I can look into it. It’s just an old house that we rent from a friend.
