dacop13 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I just purchased the HX Effects. I am using the 4 cable method so I can but delays and reverbs in the amp's effects loop. Playing out of a Mesa mk5 35w head. While on the Crunch channel with moderate gain and low volume, no problems. When at moderate gain and stage volume, there is a small squeal coming out of the amp with, even with the guitar volume at 0. When I switch over to the higher gain channels, MK4 at high gain and stage volume, the squeal is out of control, and this is with the guitar volume on 0. Unfortunately I dont have a effects loop level on the amp. I tried messing with the Inst and Line settings on the HX but all that does is drop the volume down, I could do that on the amp. When I turn it back up while in line mode, the squeal returns. Any suggestions or does anyone else have this problem with any other amps in high gain/stage volume?

codamedia Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Is it a squeal or is it white noise (loud hiss)? If it is hissing, open a support ticket... that is a known issue with some units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDonatelli Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I have the SAME EXACT issue with my hx effects. Everything sounds great 4cm. At home no problem. Once I get to stage volume with band anything moderate to high gain I get the CRAZY high squeal. I’m using a Marshall jvm 205c. Did you figure out a solution?

lperry65 Posted February 4, 2024 Share Posted February 4, 2024 I'm having the same Squealing using the HXFX in 4CM into a Roland Blues Cube artist, it's fine until I use an overdrive pedal on the 4CM patch at rehearsal volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Since this was first raised, way back in 2018, and neither the OP or the follow on poster have returned to provide any more insight into this issue, I would suggest your best bet is to raise a ticket Customer Support. Hope this helps/makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmalle Posted February 4, 2024 Share Posted February 4, 2024 Older HX FX had a hardware problem causing squealing that is fixed in the current version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
