I have noticed a very obvious electronic static noise coming from my axe fx II when recording and jamming. After some testing, I have figured out that this noise is mostly tied to my input volume in I/O settings. 0% sounds like normal natural ungated amp hiss and a 50% setting ( my optimal input level) sounds like electronic static and beeping. My setup chain is: Guitar - Korg rack tuner - Little labs DI box - Axe FX. I have tried going directly into the Axe FX but still got similar results with this unwanted noise coming through at any input volume setting above 0%. Here are some links to some recording of the noise I captured so you can hear what I'm talking about.
In the following clips you'll hear me start with the volume nob on my guitar off, then I bring it up the full volume and play a part with a ringing out chord at the end to hear decay into the background noise.
Input setting 0% (weak signal to the amp resulting in low gain and sustain)

Input setting 50% (good signal level going into amp resulting in desired amount of gain and sustain)
