A while ago I was plagued with a really noisy setup, and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I checked every cable I use, tested all of my pedals, checked my pickup wiring, and was contemplating trying some sort of custom sheilding inside my guitar . . . . eventually I figured out that my guitar was only noisy when the computer was turned on, so I was trying to find a way to put distance between my guitar, amp, and computer (not easy when trying to use my computer to record) thinking that the fans or chips were causing some sort of EM interference. Well, the other day I had a little flash of insight.
It turns out that the cheap power supply on my computer is really dirty, constantly spiking and dipping . . . so I moved it to a different wall outlet than my guitar amp. SILENCE!! Hopefully, if there is anyone else out there with the same problem, they'll read this and be able to quiet their amp down too.
