Kind of Pink noise !

[macphistoo]

I've recently noticed that I have a kind of significant "pink noise" kind of sound:

Pink Noise: 100% Pure Sound For Relaxation, Increased Concentration - YouTube

This sound seems to be introduced as soon as the the guitar cable alone (without any guitar) is plugged into the Axe. I tried different cables (long-short-shielded etc...) without any difference.
Of course, the more gain the amp have, the more noticeable the effect will be.

Is it something normal ? Can we reduce it with any kind of filter ?

What is you preset signal chain? or this pink noise is on a blank preset?

Does it continue if you plug in your guitar with its volume all the way down?

If I plug the guitar, sound is still exactly the same. If I roll down the volume of the guitar, the pink noise totally disappear.
Exemple : preset 010 "1987x Treble".

Also very much present on this preset: http://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=1827

Maybe it is normal

If you are playing with higher gain settings you might want to look at the noise gate.

Yeah, this is what i'm actually doing but i wanted to be sure that this sound/noise is "normal".

Noise is normal for higher gain regardless of setup (Modeler/real amp) and is a function of the gain structure and the guitar you use.

You can also lower the input drive or drive of the preset and that will help as well.

Wish the Maven Peal amps could be modeled. No noise, and great tone.
