That's actually common, as each piece of equipment has a different sensitivity, and each AC mains outlet has different ground issues. Always important to make sure that gear that is connected together is all run from the same AC mains outlet, and to have isolation transformers handy if that fails. I have an HE-2 just in case.but then why would it only happen to just the fractal unit?

PM me some details about what gear was connected to what via what cables and I can help you figure it out. I have a lot of experience with this sort of thing.
Gotcha. So I'm assuming that's more than just lifting ground with the switches on the FM9...I didn't have time to do much troubleshooting and was caught without a cable to run to the same outlet as the PA. It probably was a separate circuit. I should have disconnected the XLR cable going to the board. I had a couple of drinks in me already too, so that wasn't helping LOL.That's actually common, as each piece of equipment has a different sensitivity, and each AC mains outlet has different ground issues.

Another thing to consider is if the plug itself is wired correctly! I know it doesn't happen often but there is the possibility. I carry an outlet tester just to know that what I'm starting with is not wired wrong.No, and I don't know if the other outlets were on the same circuit/breaker. Outlet I was on had a xmas tree plugged into it, and I unplugged the tree...no change. I'm not sure what was behind us, but from the adjacent restroom there was a loud sort of oscillating hum coming from the other side of the shared wall. It got down to start time and cranking the gates took care of it, so I accepted the weird input situation and went on with the gig. Guitar was mushy and didn't sound as great as it normally does, but I got through the gig. I have a Furman M-8x2...never had a problem like this, so maybe I need to invest in a better conditioner with a voltage meter?
