Hey everyone,
Recently, I finished up 15 metal presets for the Axe FX. I am very satisfied with the way they sound, but there is one problem, and that is the noise.
My input and output levels are fine, but even with several gates instantiated, I’m still getting this buzzing noise as I play. I am using a Friedman ASM 12 and an EMG 81. I have tried moving as far away from the amp as I possibly could to reduce the noise. I have even rolled off a little bit again for each present, but I don’t want to take too much out because then the presets won’t sound as intended.
These presets are very high gain, so I understand that there is going to be some noise, but I was wondering if anyone could help me reduce the noise even further. The signal has to be clean in order for me to record.
I have tried using the input gate, a gate block after my amp-or drive pedal- and one gate block at the end of the chain. No matter what I do, it seems that this problem is inevitable with high gain settings. I was actually debating purchasing a used hum reduction pedal to see if it made a difference, but I wanted to check with everyone on the forum to see if they had any suggestions as far as using what’s in the box.
Thanks very much everyone.
