This is not pertaining to our post, but I am a new user and have no suggested participants so I hope you don't mind me starting here:
Hi - I just purchased the FX8 Mark II. I am fairly familiar with the Fractal Products, because I use the AX8 with no amp and run direct through the PA, but I wanted to try a rig with Fractal effects using my Mesa Boogie MV. At any rate when I plugged it up pre and post; both wiring systems I get a horrendous hum on the gain channels. I only had 1 humbuster cable so I ordered 2 more from Fractal.
I have 2 questions:
1. I am going to try running with the 4C method. I have one Humbuster cable and I ordered 2 more as mentioned earlier. The wiring diagram shows that the inputs into the Fractal also need to be Tip-Ring-Sleeve. Do these also need to be Humbuster? Do both ends need to be Tip-Ring-Sleeve or just the end plugging into the Fractal?
2. Do you have a suggested list of what effects typically should run pre and which should run post?
Any other suggestions on a Hum Remedy?
Thanks for your help and support
