Hi gain hum

I use the Helix LT for gigging direct to PA, and use presets for different sounds.  Clean sounds are fine, but when using a Hi gain amp model there is very loud hum/buzzing when not playing anything.  (It seems the model is so good it also models the hum!)  Even with the guitar turned down it is still there.  I tested one patch - I put a hard gate on the input before any inserts or modeling at around -50 dB and that seems to work.  I have 20-30 presets that I use and dont want to edit each of them this way.  Here are my questions:

 

How can I get rid of the loud background hum on some of the models?

 

If I use a gate, should it be on the input end, or output?

 

Is there a global setting that I can apply a gate to, so I dont have to edit each preset?

 

Do some amp models have a setting that eliminates this feature?

 

thanks,

Joel
