Helix LT w/ Tube Amp

I'm trying to use my Helix LT with an old Fender Dual Showman tube amp.  Amplifier is quiet when plugging guitar directly in.  When I plug my Helix LT into it there's a low hum.  Tried balanced and unbalanced cables as well as lifting the ground.  Used multiple guitars.  Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

Larry

A few things to investigate:

- could be a power issue especially if your LT is connected to your computer via USB. Try disconnecting.

- could be your Helix LT output is set to Line level while your amp is expecting an Instrument level input

- if you’re using 4CM and a Helix amp model, check the Hum setting 

 

Could be something else too; these are just my immediate thoughts.
