I've noticed recently that with my patches with gain or drive, there is an audible high pitched tone that occurs mostly when the guitar volume knob is not at either full or zero volume. I don't know if it's exactly a feedback because it always remains the same volume no matter where I am in relation to the monitors. Adding or subtracting gain just adds or subtracts the volume of the pitch.
Here's a sample of the sound when the guitar volume knob is somewhere in the middle:

(the first couple seconds is another pitch that I guess decided to exist when I first took the volume down on the guitar for the recording.. the main higher pitch is usually the only one prevalant)
I'm hooked up to a Firewire 410 audio interface thru a brand new spdif cable (shielded coaxial) and I discovered that only when hooked up this way does this noise occur. It also only happens (at least very noticably) with my guitars with humbuckers.
The gate and overdrive response seems to be better through analog (more clean?.. maybe it's just more sterile) But it doesn't sound as nice when recorded analog 44, 48, or 96k versus 48k spdif, to my (untrained in this depot) ears.
Anyway, does anyone know if or how I can fix this poor outcome with Spdif?
