I have noisse issues with my Blackstar HT-5 at really high gain settings. old school metal, ok no problem, but when i get into some thrash and even some more really high gain metal territories it wheezing like hell, i boost the amp with bad monkey or boss equalizer pedals and instead of that i use noise supressor ns-2.
for early thrash ns-2 seems to be good, but something more high gain it won't help anyway. so i have been wondering at first if it's a guitar pickup problem or something. but i got my Vintage VS6 SG all shielded inside, and SH6 on bridge, and i even borrow some friend's ESP Horizon NT with JB on bridge ,tried them both to compare but affect was pretty much similar. i haven't yet tried it with guitar with EMG active pickups. what do you think, would EMGS do that really high gain stuff better, with less noise? and how is ISP Decimator, i haven't tried it yet, does it cut more noise than ns-2 ? thanks for some answers, suggestions.. that wheezing really disturb my creativity on playing extreme metal. it's annoying. oh, and i forgot mention something, i really enyoy practise at high volume with HT-5, at about 3 o clock on volume and i boost it with bad monkey at that volume. and today i tried Boss Equalizer GE-7 pedal, but i must go somehow further on settings. i really want to try that amp with all those boosters, equalizers with EMG actives, to compare if i can get less noise problems at high gain settings.
