Hey guys! Long time lurker, first time poster here.
Over the last couple years, I’ve put together my forever studio rig inspired by Petrucci’s last few rig rundowns. I’m currently running two JP-2C’s with an Axe FX III in their FXL’s (7 Cable Method, 2 humbusters in appropriate positions in each loop).
There’s been much trouble shooting to get the rig to near perfection, many thanks to all of you for answering so many questions along the way.
I’ve come to the final piece of this puzzle. As the rig stood, I had dead silence across all three channels and glorious tone the second my pick hit the strings.
I recently added in the TC Electronic Stereo Mimiq pedal to get that last bit closer to nailing that Petrucci live tone. While it immediately sounded phenomenal while playing, it did introduce hum that was definitely not present before.
The Humbuster cables that were originally running from the L/R outs of the AFXIII to the inputs of each JP-2C now run into the in’s on the Mimiq pedal, and I have two Mogami gold 6ft TS cables going from the pedal’s outs to the amps’ inputs.
Troubleshooting so far has included:
Switching power supplies for the pedal
Switching to a battery for the pedal
Switching cables between the Mimiq and amps
Switching from true bypass mode to buffered bypass mode on the pedal
I’m simply at a loss. The important thing to note is that I do have dead silence achieved without the pedal, so now I realize that I’m at a point where I just don’t know what I don’t know, and i hope this might be an obvious issue to somebody more knowledgeable here.
Thanks in advance for any answers or ideas!
