hi guys, please help me!
Please!
ok i have a very serious noise problem in my signal chain, along with tone loss and general annoyance at aformentioned problems.
the chain is quite long i will admit, but i see much longer ones on "lets see your pedalboards" so i figured my chain must have some problems.
it is
Guitars (Yamaha pacifca 122 with lace sensors x3, PRS SE Custom 22, Epiphone Les Paul Standard)
GE-7, CS-3, Hard bypass big muff, hard bypass diy overdrive, SD-1, Marshall Jackhammer, PH-3, CE-20, DD-3, EH-polyflange all into a 65 vox ac-50 head and 1x12 cab
when i run direct into the amp the noise is all but gone.
the noise in question is very severe hiss i guess casued by all the buffers.
the whole lot is powered by a Rocktron DC on tap
so any ideas how to curb the problem, and i wud much prefer to be without gates or suppressers on my clean tone, any mods that can help
well to be fair anything that helps i will try.
thanks
Ps: will upload a sample of the noise tommorrow if it helps.

Take out one pedal at a time and see if the noise goes away.
Could be a patch cable as well.
The noise could be from other sources, lighting... |

+1 on that.
Start with guitar to amp, then add each pedal & patch in succession until you find the culprit. |

I'd put my money on the GE7 and CS3 for the "culprits".
Upgrade the ICs in GE7 and electrolytic capacitors in both GE7 and CS3.

| i know the polyflanges are subject to quite a bit of noise, might be good start to isolate that! |

Maybe try checking your power supply.
I see a lot of pedals and you must first check the total amperes if your power supply can handle all those pedals.
If not, check the patch cables. I hope you get a regulated Power Supply. |

I use a LS-2 to keep some pedals out of my signal chain when not needed..i.e mod/delay pedals....this means i have 4 pedals plus a wah wah in my direct signal to my amp..no real noise i've ever noticed unless i leave the overdrive on the hi-gain channel bt mistake between songs..... |

Or, do it the other way around, start with your full setup, and take one pedal out at a time, until you find it.
Both ways should end up with something, also make sure that your patch cables aren't causing it, sometimes a jack will be crackly, even when the outside looks good.
Does the noise also happen when you turn all pedals off? |
