Re: SansAmp Noise
Basically, it gets a lot of buzz when in Brit or Cal settings, even going direct into mixer. I took the thing apart (they don't make it easy) and checked out all diodes, resistors, connections, etc. I wondered if there was some sort of adjustment pot(s), but there wasn't. There IS an 8-pin surface mount IC that they removed all ID from, and a big square rubber covered thing, with no marking. It's basically useless in Brit or Cal settings, and I have heard that some get noisy, and some aren't. Just wondering if anyone has a cure. Almost sounds like a bad ground, but I checked all the traces, and everything (as far as I could tell) seemed fine.
