Hi, So I played at the same club again. Used a hard wire cord this time. The dimmer lighting was on full and there is a buzz/hum in my amp from this. Didn't try the G10 because of the last results. My thoughts are, is the interference from the dimmer signal the culprit. When these lights are dimmed low or off the buzz/hum goes away. A dimmer works on a PWM so its pulsing. The pulsing is interfering with my rig. Equipment, Clapton Strat with upgraded double hots Lace. Mesa Boogie older 50/50 all new tubes. Boss GT100. The switchable ground on the Mesa has no effect. 2 prior clubs had no problems. Not as nice as the one played now. Even though I'm using outlet strips with surge protection, I'm wondering if there is anything I should use for RFI protection. Anyone run into this issue? Will try some RFI protected strip next time.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Have a question about the working of the G10 and maybe interferences. So I played a pretty classy establishment, and during setup and sound check, noticed when the dimmer lights were on there was a buzz hum in my amp. The sound guy proved that it was the dimmers, by turning them on and off. He said those lights will be off during play. Were all good. During the gig that evening my G10 base receiver was doing some slow blinking like no signal getting to it. This went on all night and I could feel and hear my sound coming in and out. I'm trying to pin down in this case what can be done. Should I have plugged in a guitar cord? Forget the G10. Why would it happen? Maybe the remote dimming control of the lights in the establishment. I'm playing again tomorrow same place, I'll try replugging in the G10 transmitter to base and follow up. Many nice places have remote lighting and dimming. Right now it seems the G10 may be a hindrance playing nice clubs, am I wrong?
