Hello,
I've recently purchased a Marshall 2555X Silver Jubilee.
It sounds really great but only with just a guitar plugged in.
I want to use the Axe only for effects together with this amp. Therefore I've tried to connect them with 4CM.
I've set things like Input 2, Boost/Pad as explained in the manual or wiki. But unfortunately I get so much hum and noise, that it's not playable on a band volume level. Also I've tried to connect Out2 with a TRS jack but it doesn't help.
I've tried to connect Out 1 to the Amp Input only, without using the FX Loop of the amp but also in this case it sounds terrible. To get the noise down I played with a Gate but that's no solution for me, as it robs too much dynamic.
I'm using a 1.Generation Axe Fx. The one with loud fan.
I've read in a review that Marshall placed the FX Loop before the EQ section. Therefore effects could start to distort on higher volume levels. Don't know if it's correct. As far as I know this would be a pretty unusual layout compared to other amps. But I don't belive that this is the reason of my problem.
Sorry, if the spelling isn't good but this isn't my first language and I'm in a hurry.
Thanks for your help!
