Well i was just kinda giving advice on my experience with noise in general for anyone who has a problem with it, as it was the best thing i ever did for my guitars.
If there's some inherent problem with the axe gate i'm not saying otherwise, i just haven't experienced it. Maybe it's cause of the shielding maybe not, but as far as noise in general it was a epiphany for me and a solution to a lot of frustration so i share it.
Jerotas if your guitar is shielded and you still get tons of noise then i would say it's not done right/somethings amif or there is something else wrong in your chain.
Until i got it right the noise was still there and even more noise when it was really wrong somehow but everything seemed right, i tore everything out, rechecked and did it again and again till it finally did work. I didn't shield the pickup cavity at first or the input jack either at that point the noise was greatly reduced, but i thought it could be better, after doing the pickups and input jack cavity it was silent. Basically when the "noise from the guitar" goes away you know you did it right, and then any other noise is another issue.
The crt example i used to prove how well it does work as they do create way more noise but i can now sit right in front of it - and it's dead silent, i get no fizzle from my axefx on note decay at all with high gain.
Regardless i wouldn't get rid of this monitor it is > than any lcd. Sony fw900 pureflat widescreen, one of the best made. They still chose to use them to make the movie 300 on for their image quality and color accuracy. Only drawback is it weighs in at 100 pounds :lol: And i got a backup in the closet if this one dies, lol. I probably love it more than anything i own as they're almost irreplaceable and lcd's look shit to my eyes, i'm picky about image and color quality. So since i gotta look at a monitor everday it's gonna be this if i can help it. I'd hand my axefx over freely before i would let go of these cause when they're gone they're gone.. Everybodys got a weird peeve for somethin guess that's mine.
