oxyzzenic Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 In my case on Helix, If I turn the phone volume near 3oclock degree to maximum, I can listen the noise. I did it with no connection on any devices, jack, amp blabla anything. I turn off every fx inside the preset and make the input volume to 0db(It means I check it with no input). However without all my effort, I still can listen the noise. I check the headphones and connecting jacks but no problems are found. Is it only happen to me or happen to every helix devices?

DunedinDragon Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 What the HECK is phone volume?? Maybe try and explain your setup and what you're trying to do first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a noise gate if it bothers you. And not for nothing, but unless you're using very high impedance headphones, turning the volume up that high will be punishingly loud anyway... do your ears a favor and roll it back some. Lost frequencies don't come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he means "headphone volume". 2 hours ago, oxyzzenic said: If I turn the phone volume near 3oclock degree to maximum, I can listen the noise. Any audio device turned up that loud is going to have hiss/noise. Amps, stereos, ipods, etc... etc.... However... as stated above, why are you running it that loud! For most presets, that would take out eardrums. Playing at relatively normal volumes will not induce any noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxyzzenic Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 I mean this knob I use AIAIAI headphone it has no volume control on itself Also noise came from only phone jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungho Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I agree with everyone about the noise floor but what happens when you try a blank preset? On a blank preset, with the phones volume all the way up, you shouldn't hear any noise. Do you hear the same noise when connected to an external speaker from the 1/4" outs or XLR outs? I realize those outputs aren't connected to the phones knob. But if you do hear the same noise, it's obviously something else. Perhaps it is dirty power, improperly grounded electrical wiring, florescent lighting, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxyzzenic Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 I try on blank preset even the input is minimum, only connect on powercode and phone out. The noise happen same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT - you may be experiencing something different. Without actually hearing it, or knowing the actual noise levels, we simply don't know.

PiFromBRC Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'm suspecting that you have a potential fault in your *headphones*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
