Heyo boys and girls,
So right after moving to this wonderful island called Iceland my Axe FX II XL+ has started producing a strange fluttering noise in the background of my tone. It is most evident with higher gain patches. It very well could be that my guitar was mildly damaged during the move and that is what is producing this sound but unfortunately I don't have another guitar on hand to eliminate that as a possibility.
I know the Axe is rated 110-240v so I'm positive it can't be the change of voltage from the States to here, also it automatically switches itself. The only other idea I have is that the electrical in the Apt I'm staying in is mildly wonky and that causes the effect. It doesn't seem to be interference as it doesn't change in pitch or volume when I face my guitar away from the computer or other electrical devices in the room.
Here's a quick clip showing the sound after taking my fingers off the strings. In the beginning my guitar is facing my computer screen, after which i swivel to the left, then the right and finally i am pointing my pickups out the window and no change in the fluttering sound.
Routing is:
Axe FX plugged into American>Iceland outlet adapter (could this be the issue?)->USB into computer
Guitar->Front Input Jack
