Gound issue…

[JackBootedThug]

Okay. Everyone has seen my setup but hey…it works for me..lol now for some reason I’m having a ground loop issue with only my Mesa rec and I can’t wrap my head around it. Of course it’s a single so no polarity switch. My Budda….clear. 6505+…. Clear. Single rec….horrible. Nothing plugged into it either. Before I was having an issue with ground noise and unplugging the amps foot switch fixed it. Now it’s back and the worst I have heard. The other two are great though. Even in stereo. I don’t know…

Sounds to me like a cap going bad but you can check and see if the ground wire came loose from the chassis inside the amp.

Step 1: Throw all that shit in the trash.

Step 2: Have Wayne build you 3 pedals that will do what all 14 of your current pedals do.

Step 3: Get a Shure GLX-D a 20’ Mogami and three 6” patch cables.

This seems pretty logical to me Steve. As many ground loop issue threads I've tried to help you in I'm lost on what else it could be. Is everything plugged into the same outlet?

Also, put the Recto in a completely different room with all that other stuff turned off and see what happens. That could at least rule out the amp itself.

Wayne’s built most of my shit yo. I have four or five more not in the picture….

And just like that it’s fine. Broke out the cheap pyle $15 two channel hum eliminator and boom…quiet. Wtf? Oh well I’m cool. Nothing like playing three halfstacks at the same time… and that budda is no joke. I’m liking it more and more. That dude can build an amp. Can’t do a decent master volume but everything else is killer. The Budda smokes the single rec in volume. I think it will smoke my 6505+ combo also. It rated at what? 65 watts. My only complaint and it’s not a complaint really… it doesn’t have that Marshall klank or kerrang. Does that make sense? Also the pv combo is running into a 4x12 in case anyone was wondering…

Well that's good to hear. It's usually something goofy like that. I've never done 3 stacks at the same time, but the Budda is much like my Splawn in that neither of my Rectos can over take it and it only has a 2x12 cab. That Splawn just cuts right through like there isn't even another amp next to it.

Exaggerating a bit there. The Dual "G" can get painfully loud too.
