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.
