I don't think this pedal will do anything for that problem. This problem is simply a volume regulator. Your problem could be anything from a bad cord to a bad 1/4" jack in the amp.

Sorry the late, well, mostly this box is for valve amps, because they need more volume to burn the valves and create a nice sound, because if the volume is very low, the quality is not the same, with high volume, sounds very good. With solid state amps, they do not need this box, because the quality of low volume is better than high volume. So this box is to decrease the volume trying to not change the tone(changes the tone but a little of bit) of valve amps.

If you are sure your guitar, cable, and amp is good then you need a noise gate pedal like the ISP Decimator II. The G-String version is 2-channels and you can have noise suppression both on the front end and in the fx loop!

Hello Ryan, with my old Engl 100 Watts Amp it works really fine. I get exactly the distortion I need. Connect it via fx-loop. Greetings, Tom

I'm running two of these monsters with a 2500 watt amp and they're in a ported single box, I've found they aren't very good at hitting the lows. Get the sealed box, trust me.

Dont use cheap distortion pedals like this. The real tone is already in your amp.

You might need to buy the cable that goes from the pedal to the amp. Other than that you should be okay. If you have the manual for the cube, it might shed a little bit more light on the subject.

Let me add one other thing. Kicker under rates there amps. You will get a bench test card with yours. It will tell you the real power of the amp. Mine is a 1500w, but benched at 1723w. To much power can cause distortion and blow your speakers even if you keep it turned down. Too little and you get bad sound and overdrive your amp. If your subs are rated at 750w @ 2 Ohms and you have two then 1500w is what you want. So keep that in mind. Also remember you want your amp to always do the work for you. So keep the base on your head unit at 0. Then mess around with the EQ on the head unit and the frequency on the amp. Gain can be your enemy if you have really good pre-amps. So you shouldn't have to turn it up a lot. My recommendation if your not experienced is once everything is installed take it to a place that does it all the time and have them fine tune it.

Have your amp checked by a factory installer. Planet Audio is very good at making it right with there customers. I'm sorry but I have never had one do that. So it my be internal.

Probably, I find it noisy in the effects loop of my amp. Not so much directly into input.

Unfortunately, no. I've been using Boss 9v adapters with my Joyo pedals, and so far no trouble with the AC Tone, the American Sound, or the Crunch Distortion. Joyo does make a multi-strip power supply, but I don't like the pricing on that one when I already have my Boss wall warts. Also, I continue to think these pedals work better to color your tone going into an amp than they do directly into a sound board or recorder. Some of the YouTube direct-in samples sound more like a live amp than I've been able to achieve with my setup. Maybe I'm just spoiled on the tube tone I'm getting from my rig. Unfortunately, no.

Lee, I might offer that what you have is an electrical hum from an outside source like a computer or the current from your rig plugged into the wall. I experienced that before unplugging components and then listening. I still got to stick by this amp as it performs well for me not only busking a / stage work but studio work as well. Check for the proper wall adaptor or even call the people at Roland they actually answer the phone.well

Check your LOC unit and make sure its connected and setup correctly. Everything on your amp should not be turned up. Put the low pass to the mid point, "mode" set to low pass, sensitivity might be 100mv-2v(check on the loc), and the level should be at the mid-point at most. Also make sure your subs are wired and connected correctly, for the appropriate power. You may want to Contact a local shop for further troubleshooting.

the clean channel sounds really good. I was happy with the distortion channel once I got the knack of dialing tones in. The amp is pretty loud alone. If you are using processor like Digitech or whatever, it really increases the volume. I no longer use this amp, it was just too loud for my needs, so I downsized to a 15 watt Marshall MG15CFX. I'll get around to reviewing that one of these days.

In most cases it's your cables. Depending on whether you are using the high impedance or low impedance outputs check the cables. Also try separating the place where you have the board and amp plugged in. Try putting them in them in separate wall sockets at two different points in the room. It may just be a 60 hz ground loop hum.

I have not had any issues with mine. Some folks reported issues with buzzing, but was related to the speaker not being tightened down correctly. Buzzing without your bass plugged in sounds like a ground loop problem. Have you tried powering it from a filtered source? (I use a Furman PL-8 which was already inmy guitar rack)

There is no problem with this pedal. I bought mine on a referral from the drummer in Candle Light Red. This is a bad @ss pedal!

The real answer to this question has to do with something called a ground loop effect. long story short a ground loop causes hum in almost all cases. Power supplies like this voodoo lab have completely isolated power slots that not only keep the power to your pedals a lot more consistent causing them to act better and last longer but it also will eliminate 60 cycle hum due to ground loops.I have two of these under my board because I run some high draw effects and I would never even consider using a power strip or one spot on my set up currently. But! All that said I have used a power strip and a one spot in the past with no problems. as my rig grew so did its needs for better power.

As others have suggested, the hiss is coming from something upstream of the speaker. I have two of these speakers and have used them extensively, and they are silent except for the signal coming in. If you are using a mixer or some other input device that requires you to set the level, pay close attention to the procedure for doing so. Improperly set levels can cause noise problems when you turn up the volume to the level you're after.
