jamesburgundy Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hi guys, I have just recently picked up a Hd500x. I am experiencing a problem with unwanted noise for my progressive metal rhythm tones. When plugged in to my pc via usb, I don't experience any inwanted fret noise as I have my noise gates set quite aggressively. But when I'm take the usb out and continue jamming, I get unwanted fret noise. Not feedback or anything, it seems my noise gates are fine its just as I go to mute the strings after palm-muting or whatever I get that fret noise that no body wants. Does anyone have any suggestions that may help me? Cheers guys, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienux Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 That usually comes from having too much gain/drive. It could be related to too much treble or too much presence as well, or a combination of all three, but I'd start by lowering the gain level. Most pro's don't use nearly as much gain as we think they do, and when we try to dial in a good heavy sound, it's easy to start with way too much distortion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
