Members EmielJ Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hello. I have a few noisy pedals (compressor, Big Muff) and to tame the noise/feedback the Muff creates in combination with my Keeley Blues Driver/Boss CS-2, I bought a Boss NS-2 noise supressor. But whatever I try, the pedal can't cut the noise except when the threshold knob is maxed.. but then there's a volumedrop and I hear the guitarsound has changed too, like a loss of dynamics when playing... I'm using George L patchcabels soldered to Switchcraft Plugs... and quality instrumentcables (brand new Cordials). How can I get rid of the noise/feedback? Should I buy a other noisegate (which one???) or does it have something to do with my guitars? HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve.I did, but I still got feedback when I turn the Muff and the BD-2 or the CS-2 on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a boss hyper fuzz in there paired with a boss sd1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alteredsounds Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 I did, but I still got feedback when I turn the Muff and the BD-2 or the CS-2 on Are you saying hiss noise or feedback? 2 different problems. If it's feedback then it could be you p/up's or your too close to the amp etc If its hiss, then it is to be expected with that much gain. The gate should cut in when you stop playing, if there's that much noise that you need the gate on it's highest threshold then there may also be other contributing factors such as strip-lights, fridges etc or poor earthing somewhere. What kind of noise are you refferring to? oh, did I mention ISP Decimator there somewhere? I meant to have..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of noise are you refferring to? oh, did I mention ISP Decimator there somewhere? I meant to have..... Many thanks guys!I think it's really feedback. It squeals like mad when I don't touch the strings... that's called feedback right?People said it cold be poor earthing..but all my guitars are wired nicely and the sockets are earthed too...By the way, I'm using less gain than I used to. The gain on the Muff is like 35-40%. But I think I found something. When I just played with the Muff (using Ibanez adapter), no other pedals plugged in, just guitar - Big Muff - amplifier, I don't have feedback or a lot of noise. But when I connect the other pedals together with the Muff (for instance guitar - Boss CS-2 - Keeley BD-2 - Big Muff - Ibanez DE-7 - amplifier) and the Muff is on only, I get feedback! I thought it could be the power supply (Visual Sound One Spot) since the George L patchcables look good to me... I tried it with cheap patchcables and same results...What do you guys think? Can it be the One Spot?Sorry for my bad English... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Franco_De Posted December 14, 2006 Members Share Posted December 14, 2006 The squealing is probably a microphonic preamp tube. The gate won't cure that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... That's strange because the tubes are just a few months old... although I noticed that the V1 preamp tube makes some kind of 'trilling' noice. Could it be that one?

Members Franco_De Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 It could very well be. If v1 is noisy, then that noise will be amplified throughout several gain stages. By the time the signal is handed over to the power section, that minor noise in v1 will be out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
