One of the classics is plugging in your amp and faintly getting a radio station coming through it. I support power conditioners, shielded power strips, shielded cable, shield the insides of the guitar, shielded connecting cables on your pedal board and noise gates have evolved a lot so don't rule one out.

Years ago I had a severe noice issue when playing at home. I did all of this, lol. Checked the amp, cable, guitar electronics, pickups, my pedals, everything, but the noise was still there. I noticed it would only happen at my house. I also noticed the noise would go away if I was playing barefoot... That's when it hitted me. They had recently repaired a wall and, during that repair, they did changes to the house electric wiring! So, we called an electrician, he did his magic and now the noise was finally gone.

I have used copper shielding in the pickup cavities, even tried a special paint designed to shield that is supposed to quiet the pickups. I have a Decimator II and it affects the tone to me, as do coated strings. I use a Furman power strip that is supposed to have a buffer that suppresses electrical current white noise but I still get noise out of the best single coils I use. I finally just said the heck with it and crank it up, after years and years of playing, the loud amp covers the pickup noise and helps deaden the tinnitus I have developed. LOL. Crank it like Jimi and let it rip. Rock n Roll will never die. 👍🎸🙏😎✌️

Last year I bought a fully loaded Dave Murray Seymour Duncan pickguard and installed it in a MIM Stratocaster. The pickguard comes with pre-wired hot rails in the bridge and neck positions, a JB Jr. in the middle, and switches/pots that are all wired up. Unfortunately the thing buzzed once installed in the guitar. However, the buzz would actually go away when I touched the strings or bridge, which suggested a grounding issue. I checked all of the components using a multi-meter but could not find any problem with the grounding. So I removed the pickguard, redid the soldiering, replaced the output jack/wiring, and even replaced the ground wire that connects to the tremolo claw. But that stupid buzz still persisted. As a last resort, I bought some copper shielding tape and completely lined the cavity in the body. The back side of the plastic pick guard came with a small amount of silver shielding surrounding the pickups, so I added copper tape to the back of the pick guard in order to ground the silver shielding to the cavity tape when re-installed on the guitar. (Note that I had to run the cavity tape out a little onto the front side of the guitar so that it would make contact with the shielding tape on the backside of the pickguard.) The shielding miraculously eliminated the buzz! The guitar sounds great with these pickups.

One can have hum problems caused by an ungrounded circuit, which is not so uncommon in some countries and older apartments/houses. To get rid of this one can use a wireless scheme to plug the guitar to the amp (or to the beginning of the pedal chain) --- there are some alternatives in the market. This completely solved for me when I use single-coils, the hum is completely gone.

It's almost like businesses create things intentionally that we have to fix. For example, if you have Windows 10, there is a policy installed on it that makes your computer use way more memory. Once it's turned off, it runs like a Mac. Now with your guitar, adjust the saddles exactly like default Squier alignment and you will have perfect intonation all the way up the neck. It's almost as if getting to route causes, fixes problems. haha

everything before the actual amplification components in the amp act as (more or less directional) antennas picking up the the 60Hz frequency broadcasted by the AC power lines and other plugged in devices (other frequencies too, but 60Hz is usually the loudest. in europe they use 220V and 50Hz so the buzzing is 50Hz :) ). CFM/fluorescent lights are especially noisy. needless to say, a longer cable is noisier than a shorter one. touching the tip of the guitar cable jack is the most extreme/loud of scenarios... but simultaneously touching the tip and the sleeve (ground) of the jack greatly attenuates the noise because a sort of short circuit is happening. so it's well worth to check if the 'grounding' in your guitar is proper, meaning there is electrical contact between the jack's sleeve and everything else in your guitar: the potentiometers' metal cases, bridge/strings, switches' metallic cases, the shielding in the pickup cavity and scratch guard, etc. to check that, a multimeter on the resistance setting is best but also touching the metal parts of the guitar should quiet down the noise. for example, if touching the metallic bridge doesn't attenuate the buzz, chances are the ground wire under the bridge is not making proper contact ... ps: i tried to eliminate buzz by "shielding" the pickup cavities w/ aluminum or copper tape on particularly noisy guitars but it doesn't completely eliminate the buzz in noisy environments, such as a room w/ multiple fluorescent lights.

You just need to shield off your guitar. The buzzing happens because pickups are “picking up” your body’s waves until you ground yourself, aka touching a metal piece that’s grounded. You can mix graphite powder with acrylic paint or use conductive copper tape.

Thank you for making this video. Definitely a lot of good info to think about. Seymour Duncan makes a hum eliminator, you just plug the amp into the hum Eliminator then into the socket. I enjoy stereo amplification and use a fender Pro Junior and a marshall valvestate 15 which combined makes a dreadful hum. It did not eliminate the hum totally but it made it much more bearable, however, at 100usd per hum Eliminator they are expensive. Lately I've enjoyed plugging straight into the amplifier with no effects and find that also eliminates the noisiness aspect. Cheers

Good Video -- Something I don't see much information on although I probably haven't looked much since I'm not exactly a touring musician -- just making music/noise at home. A pretty informative video though! I had some issues with my guitar but haven't played it much in years so I cleaned the contacts for the pickup selector and the volume/tone pots and replaced the input jack (Pure Tone) and it is much better. This will give me more ideas as I add some more pedals to my rig in the near future. Also I know I have to go through and get some new cables -- probably a bit of my remaining issues after fixing my guitars.

Anybody who's tried everything in this video and still couldn't get rid of the noise, try playing around with the lighting in your studio/room. High power electric devices cause alot of electromagnetic radiation to be emitted from their wiring, and since the guitar pickups are electromagnetic devices, they pickup this radiation and send it to you amp/mixer. Try turning things off (lights, fans, appliances, ACs) and see if the noise subsides. This worked for me, certain lights were the problem in my case, maybe some other appliance in your case. You can also try powering your processor/pedals with batteries if they have that option thus avoiding ground loops created by the use of your power adaptors.

Get the Hum Debugger pedal. I love Jazzmasters and P90s BUT I live in an older house. The noise was ridiculous until I tried that pedal. Nice video btw!

@@frankybebop2913 I kinda use it while I am practicing (and I am not so focused on tone) or in an emergency. Not sure I would gig or record with it on. My house is pretty noisy though.

Interesting. I use a focusrite USB interface and with everything unplugged its still insanely noisy.. so that narrows it down to either the computer PSU or surge protector multi outlet lol (unless I got a faulty interface - doubt it would create that much noise on its own though). Its usable with a heavy noise gate but can still hear it behind the playing which is annoying plus the noise gate kinda takes the life and sustain out of any effects

FYI airplane mode no longer disables wifi, in fact many phones were tested for EMF viva mobile data, wifi and GMS and they all still sent signals when on airplane mode. As planes now have wifi , for a couple of years, it is no longer disabled when on airplane mode. Yes there should be a NO COMMS options on phones, but all the better to track you with. Most pedals will work on batteries, and I would probably only use them for gigs or recording. You could always use an UPS just for recording or gigging

I’ve found that the buzz comes from my really cheap amp so I’m trying to save up for a good one and I’ll buy a new Jack too so I can really improve my set up

So , I plug my amp into an inverter, because I play while in my semi, and there does seem to be a lot of buzzing, I'm wondering if it is a grounding issue

Really interesting. How does using batteries in pedals instead of mains power affect this - or does it?
@ViviSectia
@ViviSectia 3 жыл бұрын
It eliminates most noise. The vast majority of pedal noise issues are the result of using AC or mains power and most power supplies are just trying to smooth out the 60 cycle hum and other noise inherent to it to get the power as similar to DC as possible. Batteries avoid all that by providing DC from the start. One easy solution to power a lot of pedals is to use a lithium ion battery pack with a daisy chain. It lets you provide DC to multiple pedals while avoiding most noise issues.

Last night, for the first time in years i had noise. My telecaster goes to my Helix floor and i use headphones cause i live in an apartement. Never found the source. But thanks to your video, i'm going to plug my helix in a separate outlet. Cause on that outlet i have 4 amps on a power bar, even if i can't use them where i live haha

I'm running a 1989 gibson sg through a hughes and kettner black spirit and orange 12" celestion cab. I cannot get it to stop squeeling unless i've got the noise gate on the h&k cranked and I just can't figure out what's going on with it. I've used a top-tier cable as well as my nux wireless system and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Hi all, Issues: Loud random static noise pop up on one HS8 left speaker and it won’t output guitar sound. Unless I change guitar preset on my Hotone Amero stage 2 and it works again. Sometimes it produces loud pink noise (on both speakers) and it won’t go away till I switch the power off on guitar processor and speakers. It’s happening every time I play almost every day. Connections: Guitar -to Hotone ampere stage 2 - Xlr out from Hotone to XLR in Yamaha HS8 Studio monitors. Usb c to usb a to laptop. All the power is from one power Board. Please advise if you any idea how to get rid of these- thanks in advance.
