Example of noise I am referring to: https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/media/2017/09/Guitar-Noise-Buzz-and-Hum-Dirty-Power.mp3?_=4
This type of noise occurs with these setups, but not on all power outlets:
ground loop buzz, while others do not. I used a ground tester to ensure that both the noisy outlets and non-noisy ones are properly grounded. I'm assuming the noisy outlets may be caused by something else in the circuit. (EDIT: Traced the source to a light fixture on the same circuit.) Which brings me to my question...
What do you do in this type of situation, especially when a lot of venues have sketchy power? Since it occurs with headphones as well, I’m not sure using a humbuster cable really applies (EDIT 2: humbuster probably WOULD solve this in a live situation...see post 3 below EDIT of EDIT maybe not)
My full setup for live will be this:
Would either of these solve the issue?

This type of noise occurs with these setups, but not on all power outlets:
- Guitar > 1/4 TS Cable > FM3 Input 1 > Monitoring via Headphone out
- Guitar > 1/4 TS Cable > FM3 Input 1 > output 2 L > 1/4 TS Cable > Seymour Duncan powerstage > speaker cable > cab

My full setup for live will be this:
- Guitar > 1/4 TS Cable > FM3 Input 1
- FM3 Output 1 L > FOH
- FM3 Output 2 L > 1/4 TS Cable (or humbuster if necessary) > Seymour Duncan Powerstage > Speaker Cable > Cab
- The FM3 will also have an EV1 and FC6 hooked up.
Would either of these solve the issue?
