I have a older Digitech RP-1 effects processor for my electric guitar, and it makes such loud, annoying, and horrible background noise. It's especially loud when I turn the distortion on. If I turn the guitar in a certain direction away from the processor, the noise will stop on some non distortion patches, but will start as soon as I play a note.
I'm very much hoping that someone could help me with this problem. I really like this processor too, so I don't want to let it go eventhough it isn't as spiffy as some of the newer ones. I've heard the term "bad ground" and "polaris switch" in relation to this sort of noise problem, but have no idea as of how to fix it. If you have any solutions, please let me know.
This is a very used unit, though, and some of the foot buttons barely work, so I guess if none of your suggestions fix it, I'll just open it up and tinker aroud.
oh, yeah, I also not using an amp with this. I'm just using the processor's pre-amp, so it's not an amp problem.
Thanks
