I just need to know if there is anything I should be adding to my rig to reduce bussing and hissing. I have a lot of pedals, and rack mount equipment in my set up. The pedals are running through a looping systems that offer actual bypass, I know that helps with the noise. Is there anything out there that pro rigs have that I don't know about. I've been looking at some pro rigs sych as david gilmour...and he's got a ton of stuff all running through his rig...
How do they keep all the noise down??
Look at my profile to see what I am running in my rig. I may be hooking it up wrong.

Mar 13, 2007 05:44 pm Boss NS2 pedal. People swear by them.
One thing about a rig like David Gilmours is that you can bet he has some kind of noise suppressor (or a ton of 'em) built into the switching system (Bradshaw or the like) somewhere.
Mar 13, 2007 06:46 pm high quality cables with heavy shielding helps, make sure you have clean power or a power conditioner can help...
also noise suppressors such as TallChap mentions is a good idea.
Mar 13, 2007 08:08 pm what would be the best cable to use...I mainly need a lot of short cables for inside my rack. I have all my pedals inside the rack so everythings close together.
Monster or Mogami????
I know there is another company out there I think its called evolution audio....but those things are about $120 a cable....crazy.
Mar 13, 2007 08:10 pm I am in no place to recommend a brand, I've been making my own for years...
Mar 13, 2007 08:14 pm and are they high quality
I would actually prefer that..then i could make each cable the correct length i need
Mar 14, 2007 04:41 pm First step for any problems like this: bypass everything and plug your guitar directly into the amp. If you still have buzz, it's either the pickups, the cable, or the amp. In the first case, a noise suppressor pedal first in your chain might be a good idea. In the second case, get a non-shitty cable. In the third case, you're kinda screwed haha
Mar 14, 2007 08:28 pm It could be in the amp, too. If your running high gain, then a noisy preamp tube will get amplified down the line, and end up pretty big out the speakers.
How old are the tubes? They can go microphonic, and add hiss/ noise.
I'd do what [ins] says, and bypass everything, and try to pinpoint the cause of the hiss. I'm assuming it's a 'hi-gain' hiss sort of thing, and not a 60-cycle buzz sort of thing.
I guess pinpointing what type of sound it is exactly will help in eradicating it.
I build my own cables with parts from parts express. I've only been making mic cables, and mic patch cables, but I'll be making 1/4" patch cables too. I've been using the neutrik ends, and dayton 22ga mic cable. It's been good so far.
Mar 18, 2007 09:02 pm amcolan, I use Switchcraft or Nuetrick connector's and will usually use Beldon or American cable products for the wires. I, like dB, have usually built my own cable's for years. Although in the studio with less abuse I have used some higher quality pre made cables.
I will also second the use of power conditioners in your guitar rig as well as the NS-2 or a similar noise suppressor. They make all the difference in the world.
