I played with the noise gate last night, and ended up just leaving it at the defaults. Like you said, I might turn it down or off for the clean channels, but for now its fine for my purposes.

I like the built-in compressor for adding sustain, though it's disappointing that you can't tweak the "attack" setting when the compressor is used in combination with another effect. But by itself it seems to do a nice job.]]> Live Sound slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/noise-problem-resolved-new-amp-saves-the-day/#post-87620 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/noise-problem-resolved-new-amp-saves-the-day/#post-87551 Mon, 31 Jan 2005 01:33:22 +0000 Live Sound Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/noise-problem-resolved-new-amp-saves-the-day/#post-87551 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/noise-problem-resolved-new-amp-saves-the-day/#post-87528 Sun, 30 Jan 2005 22:53:50 +0000
And if I program something in manual mode, will the noise gate default to "off"?

Guess I should read the manual... ;)]]> Live Sound slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/noise-problem-resolved-new-amp-saves-the-day/#post-87528 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/noise-problem-resolved-new-amp-saves-the-day/#post-87477 Sun, 30 Jan 2005 14:48:33 +0000 Live Sound Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/noise-problem-resolved-new-amp-saves-the-day/#post-87477 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/noise-problem-resolved-new-amp-saves-the-day/#post-87373 Sat, 29 Jan 2005 17:25:58 +0000
I'm also glad I bought the amp locally instead of online... and especially happy that I don't have to rewire my house!]]> Live Sound slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/noise-problem-resolved-new-amp-saves-the-day/#post-87373 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/noise-problem-resolved-new-amp-saves-the-day/#post-87264 Sat, 29 Jan 2005 00:03:57 +0000

Well it turns out it was a problem with the amp (Line 6 Spider II 30W), not the cable. I narrowed it down to having something to do with the amp's gain boost feature. I know that increasing gain can amplify noise in the line, but this was really unbearable and getting worse over time. Sorry I'm not an electrician so can't give a more informative reason.

The good folks at Guitar Center gave me full credit for the amp even though I was past the 30-day return window, so I upgraded to the increasingly popular Vox Valvetronix AD30VT and am very pleased with it. What a difference an amp makes! Sounds really great with my Ibanez Artcore, and best of all it's quiet when it's supposed to be!
