ase_one23 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 i'm messing about with adding delay into my playing, i really like that kinda shimmery mary chain / glasvegas effect. so i've got an echo park, and running it thro my audio interface and then thro guitar rig it sounds great. problem is, when i brought it to rehearsal and tried to use it, it was awful, just a really bad backgound hiss whenever it's on. now i have a fairly distorted bass sound so i was expecting a bit of this but the level of hiss makes it almost unuseable. i'm using a visual sound jeckyll & hyde od and love it, tried putting the line6 before and after it in the chain but no real change. any ideas? do u think this will happen with all delays? thanks in advance!

vegas_hooker Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 This happens to my friends guitar rig. IIRC, he placed it at the end of his chain (right next to the amp) and with a sole PSU. I dont think this is a unique problem for that pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 The Line 6 pedals really need isolated power or they do get noisy. Are you running it on a daisy chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 You could also look at the GigRig Virtual Battery, which effectively isolates an output on a daisy chain. If you've got plenty of available current left on your 1-Spot and would rather avoid having another PSU to plug in, it might be a better idea than a second power supply. Probably more expensive though - typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ase_one23 Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) well, i've already got my evil psu for my ehx taking up room on my board, can't hurt now to have another fussy pedal! it's enough to turn me back to batteries Edited July 6, 2009 by ase_one23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
