Line6 Pod line humm hmmmmmm? |
|
|
Does Anyone have any stategies for dealing with line humm for this
direct to recording box. It is usually not too bad unless it is tweek-
crancked for leads.
Using a Telecaster for leads (yeah...single coil pickup) and I am
getting a lot of humm off of this from my notebook and Digi-002.
Getting some great sustained tones but having to deal with this humm
problem, probably will do a lot of gating and cutting since the tones
are so damn good.
Maybe invest in a lead shield to play behind?

Is the noise from the pickup, or from ground loops?
If you run a 20 foot cable between the Pod and the notebook, does
it help to get away from it? If you move around, does the noise
change? Or is the noise the same in any position? Is it the same
when the notebook is running on batteries?

Being a user of Line 6 equipment, I have found that a Telecaster's contribution to the noise problem
is reasonably small if wired and shielded correctly (sometimes just turning off axis will kill the
buzz from the guitar, if one exists). Therefore, if your hum is not coming from the guitar, it has
to be the outlet. But remember, you are emulating a guitar amp and that ironically includes some of
the issues you will have with a real amp... guitar buzz, etc.
What you want to check is what else is on the circuit. Are there fluorescent lamps nearby -- on the
same circuit? You can change the circuit the unit is plugged into. You can lift the ground on the
Pod. You can lift the ground on the Digi 002 and/or the computer.
You can switch to humbucking pickups. ;)
Hope this helps a bit.

I didn't have electonics 101, what do you mean by "lifting the ground"?

Any suggestions on a good humbucking pickup that can emulate that
single coil Fender sound?

Yes I appreciate your and the previous author's suggestions. I can
rotate to a position to reduce it by about 80%, maybe I will try that
20' cord idea (long cord problematic too) and do punch ins from down
the hallway.
Thanks again. |

I basically took Dorsey's suggestion and moved the line6 pod away. It
was on top of the table next to all my other crap. I stuck it under the
table and that is sheilding it really well, the hum is about 90% gone
and I can rotate the axis of the guitar to take care of the rest.
World of difference! Thanks a lot for the suggestions! |

It is your tele. The ONLY way to get that tele sound is with the single coil
pickups. I have never found or heard a humbucker that even comes close. Just
turn OFF your CRT monitors and play away.

I guess this guy has the holy grail as far as single coil pickups go,
supposed to be ultra quiet. 350$ is a lot of money for them
though...maybe they're worth it.
My major issues have been resolved by moving the line6 away from the
other stuff.

"Lifting the ground" means to put an adapter that removes the ground pin from the three prong plugs

good luck.
Love my Tele! |

First strategy is to just move about the room a bit to see if there are
spots where you get less hum. Often if you face a different direction it
will make a difference. Sometimes moving a few degrees makes a big
difference.
Someone else mentioned Kinman pickups -- not cheap but worth every
penny. There are other "noiseless" single-coil type pickups but I don't
find any others to have as complex and full a tone as Kinman's.

An extrtemely unsafe, and foolish suggestion IMO. |
