matonanjin Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 My POD HD 500X is connected to my Fender Blues Jr.3 via a regular guitar cable. If I hook up a guitar to it everything works fine. Sounds great. I just recently installed the Edit software and connected to my computer (Windows system) via USB cable. And now I am getting a horrible buzz out of my amp. It makes no difference if the POD is on or off. The second I unplug the usb cable out of the back of my POD it is quiet. This will give you an idea of the noise: https://soundcloud.com/matonanjin/noise I know this is not the fault of the POD. But I hope that there may be some electronics experts on here that can suggest where I start to resolve this. At some point I may want to start recording with my POD and DAW and I will have to figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Buzz? You mean, like a ground loop? Plug the amp into a different outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matonanjin Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Buzz? Yeah, I would call it a "Buzz". If you go to that Soundcloud link you can hear it. I don't know what a ground loop is. I'll try plugging into a different outlet if I can find an extension chord. All the outlets in my office/sound/practice room are on the same circuit.

pfsmith0 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I get this as well. It helps a lot if both the HD500 and laptop are plugged into the same power strip/outlet. You may want to try plugging the HD500 or laptop plug the other way around. That helps with some things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
