Horrific Scratchy Digital Interference HX Stomp

Listen to the track below to hear it. Whenever the strings are muted, there's always this scratchy fuzzy bleed off and if I just push up and down on the muted strings you can hear it more at the end of the clip. Noise gate won't solve this, I already have a Furman EMI/RFI power strip and Ferrite USB. I've tried with computer off and even with the guitar unplugged just touching the bare jack and it's there. What do I do?

Sounds like the decay of the noise gate in the input block is set so that it 'slowly' closes. Experiment with it's Decay and Threshold parameters.

 

Use less gain, a well-shielded guitar and remove or keep distance to noise sources (e.g. electronic devices).

I played around with this for a while. 

Most of the Marshall style amps I tried had a little of that when I cranked the gain, treble and presence.

When I lowered the gain from 7.4 to 6.5 the overall tone cleaned up a lot.

Setting the SCREAM to 0 Gain/10 Level (very common way of using it with Marshalls) also cleaned it up a lot.

Using the Input Gate at 500ms decay also helps.

Pulling out the Compressor made the biggest improvement.

Try the attached modded version.
