Issue is with multiple guitars?That won't work. I had the same issue and it comes from the pickups. I've tried a UPS running in battery only... Which made no difference.

Noise gate won't fix EMI noise. Once a note is ringing out and dying off the noise will creep in and ruin your recording. I had similar issues and fixed it with a 2 input Hush pedal. I don't have this problem anymore, and there was another thread before dedicated to this issue.

Either one of those scenarios will work. I do both. Works great for recording since it cleanses the emi noise from notes that ring out. Just use one input on the hush for direct guitar input, and also place the hush in the fx loop of the Axe-III.Would this work going direct to DAW via Axe-III and/or to powered FRFR (CLR)?

Yeah I remember it saying not to plug directly into it, but I tried it and it cut the noise out right there. So it is the first pedal that I plug into and then it sits in the effect loop (out 3 - In 3) between the amp and cab. Maybe I am doing it wrong in a sense but It has been a life saver for me, especially when notes ring out and that EMI noise starts to creep in.Just ordered the Rocktron Hush 2x as well to see if it will work. Haven't really been able to get the Axe's gates to work in a natural way, so here's hoping that does the trick.
Regarding the high-end rolloff on the Hush, apparently the input resistance is 220k Ohms. That's probably why they say not to run a guitar directly in.
Most guitar amp inputs have a 1M Ohm resistor, and a lower input resistance will roll off high-end. You can get close by setting the Input block to 230K Ohm. It's not something a ton of people will notice, though (and my guitars tend to be on the super-bright side, so no issues here).

Do you have a midi cable near a cable with power? Frequent source of ticking noises...My Rocktron Hush 2x showed up today. I also was able to determine the meter isn't the source of the strange ticking noise. I think that's coming from an industrial building across my alley.
We'll see how well the 2x works when I get home from work today.

Wait. You hear the "ticking" noise when you're a block away from your house and not at your gear at all? Just coming through the air? If so, walk around until you find where it's coming from.I would be surprised that was causing the ticking as I could hear it a block away from my house when I walked my neighborhood.

NOTE: I just had a listen to the audio clip you posted. It's not a "ticking" noise at all. It's a sort of cricket-chirp sound, repeating at a rate of about 4 Hz.
Okay, that explains a lot.What I did was got a small battery powered amp, hooked a loose single coil pickup to it, and put on headphones and walked around my neighborhood to determine the epicenter of the interference.
Most of the components of the chirp your hearing are well above 60 Hz, but the chirp is repeating at a 4 Hz rate. Listen to it: it repeats four times per second.4hz is very interesting. I'm curious how that type of interference could be caused given it's so low frequency, and most interfering devices as I understand would be 60hz or at a harmonic of 60hz.
