nimans Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi, recently I noticed that there is a noise in UX2 inputs but it's so quiet that I had never noticed it before I can't really hear it until I put a compressor or an effect on and turn up the gain, this happens when I have nothing plugged in when I plug in my guitar and the volume of the guitar is at the 0 the noise is gone but I can't really tell if it's there when I play cuz it's so quiet, I also own a POD HD500 and I can hear the same noise on it too my question is, is this something normal? Or is there a problem here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazzy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Sounds like what your hearing is what I would consider normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Good Point BB, The higher gain the amp model and the higher up you turn the the gain knob there is going to be some idle noise use a noise gate if you need to. Also if your right in front of your computer screen or any other RF emitting device your guitar is going to pick up that noise. I can get some good high gain with my Kit Tele (which is the noisiest next to my Strat) with the guitar volume at the lowest level. Then all I need to do is turn the volume knob on the geetar to get more gain. When I use my Active EMG guitars I get a nice clean signal from the guitars, those active humbuckers work. Also, try out the PAD input. Edited October 17, 2014 by Brazzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a misunderstanding going on, I don't mean the noise of the modeled amps of course there will be noise on them I'm talking about the noise that I can hear when nothing is plugged in, I don't have the POD Farm opened and nothing is going on no effects, nothing plugged in only an armed track with inputs of UX2 and monitor on so I think I shouldn't hear anything but when I increase the gain of the track in my DAW I hear a noise.

nimans Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Now I plugged in a mic and seems like when something is plugged in the noise is gone. I don't really mind if it's not getting recorded and it's there ONLY when I have nothing plugged in and I'm not recording but I just wanted to make sure it's a normal thing to have some noise in the inputs when nothing is plugged in.

I'm sorry I misunderstood. Your obviously experiencing some other noise. I had noise without anything plugged in once long time ago. I uninstalled everything related to UX2 (even Monkey) restarted the computer (Win 7) then reinstalled everything starting with Monkey. Noise "Gone". I can only figure the software became corrupt.
