Ok, thanks!Set the gate in the Input Block to Noise Suppresion and select the correct AC Line Freq in Global.
I love this, well saidDon't be afraid of single coil hum. I have a budget noise gate and it works wonders on my Tele and Strat, even at death metal chuggage gain levels. I haven't done gig-level playing with these guitars, but the guitarist in my last band used a Strat on several songs and hum was never an issue.
But also, if you like what you have then there's little reason to change it for the small chance that the new pickups will be better at everything and worse at nothing. There's always trade-offs with pickup swaps.
Ha! I think its fine to do pickup swaps... I sure do... but knowing what you're getting into is important!I love this, well said
Not sure I can live by it myself, but it's a nice idea...
+1If you're happy with the pickups you have, a thorough shielding job will do wonders for reducing noise from interference. I have two Ibanez Prestige Talmans that have low output, vintage voiced single coils. Both guitars are fully shielded, and both are extremely quiet as far as noise rejection.
I'm actually really excited to wear one of my guitars' frets down to the point where I need new frets just so I can get some stainless steel ones! Lol, check back in a few yearsI can't help it, I've been seriously infected with GAS for a Suhr, with their noise reduction setup. Specifically a Scott Henderson, for a bunch of reasons including that. Ideally with stainless steel frets, which doesn't exist except as a full custom order, which I can't afford even more than I can't afford the stock version.
