I have several cables and two guitars and I've tried all combinations with more or less the same level of noise/hum so I guess it's just the nature of the beast. I'm not sure how clean my playing area is (RF/EMI wise). If I just plug in the cable to the amp without the guitar connected (High impedance) the hum/noise gets a little louder so the impedance of the guitar must be quite high. I haven't measured but I'm guessing the guitars are around 1meg ohm(?).
I like the idea of using the clean channel and something inline between the guitar and AMP instead of using the overdrive/gain on the amplifier.
I don't have any experience with any of the inline FX units. Are there any units that you could suggest?
Thanks,
Adrian
