Hey RG, where was the second place you tried it? Or is the signal path you posted the better of the 2? Major difference in cleaning up the hum in your signal.
When I had the Beringer hd400 I placed it in the fx loop with similar results as you.
Now with no hum time for you to make some noise
Jeeez such I dumb ass! Forgot to post the second place. The second place did nothing. Like absolutely nothing!
I put the Box between my GT5 and Power amp. So on the outputs of the GT5. I ran both left and right through 1 and 2 inputs on the box.
Yeah man I've basically done what you did, it's in my GT5 FX loop, the box gets the guitar signal before the preamp does, and cleans up the hum.
I wonder what would happen if I put the box between the output of the preamp and the GT5 Return?
I can't rave enough about this product, I'm very happy. I put up with that shit noise for a good while thinking it was my practice room mains and other things going in the building. But no twas a big dirty ground loop.
Did you listen to that clip soloist? Silence is golden! Now I'm set for gigs in UK this weekend! Woohoo!
MJMP being the font of all knowledge, can you explain what the transformer does in the Art Clean box? So it separates the signal and the shield earth, ok but shouldn't that make noise then since it's like no earth going out of the box and into the preamp input since the box has captured it? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
