Thanks for helping - I just checked and (un)plugging USB and MIDI cables seems not to have any effect. Any ideas out there for testing if a guitar output is "behaving well"? (I have standard passive pickups) -- strange thing: the noise is more present on the humbucker guitar (Epiphone LP). (I would expect the Telecaster to be noisier). - both are unshielded but I 'm not sure I hear an RF interference noise - the ticking indicates some capacitive effect. (I m just guessing)

Hope to hear your expert advise on the following: (maybe already handled extensively - thanks for referring me to the thread): I observe a ticking noise (+/- 5 to 10 Hz), polluting the sound when the guitar is connected. Apart from working with a noise gate I want to find the origin and work the issue. I test with an empty preset with only gain stage (around 30 dB - then the noise is clearly heard). in unconnected mode (cable connected to the Helix - not connected to guitar) the noise is not present. The effect is reduced when setting "guitar in pad" to "on" in global settings/IN. The effect is heard with different guitars (HB - Single coil) at different intensity. Using a Power Filter (Furman AC-210 A) does not help. Does anyone recognises this? What can be the reason? How to get rid of this without compromising sound quality?

I am building a rig as follows: 1/ Helix LT: Guitar Processor and main midi control (Select song - start song - next section - stop) 2/ Beatbuddy: now working fine in slave mode - controlled from Helix via Midi - clock being sent from Helix And - in trial mode: (to be disconnected if anything goes wrong on stage) 3/ Ableton - controlling multiple midi expanders for backing tracks What I need to achieve: I want to send the same clock signal to Ableton so that all instruments are in sync. Ableton says: "If you set Ableton to receive ext clock then it also responds to START / CONTINUE / STOP"' My question: how do I control the transport of Ableton in the situation where ableton is listening to incoming midi from Helix (EXT is on) - How do I set preferences? - What Start/stop messages are being sent from Helix and when?? - Can I do without a midi translator (Bome)? Would be VERY grateful for any advise ..
