Something in your studio is adding a bunch of noise, and I know, because I've had the same issues. You hear that almost crunchy/crackly sort of noise, that's not the amp I'm pretty sure. I had the exact same kind of noise, and it was literally caused by a lamp I had plugged in, and sometimes I'd get a similar noise come through my amps from my wifi router. I know a boosted amp especially, your gunna have quite a bit of noise floor, but it shouldn't sound a crackly, and weird like that, and even after you had your gate in, it was still there. That's a huge sign it's actually dirty power, or something in the power, like I say appliances etc. Sounds weird, and I didn't think a lamp could cause that much noise, so it took me a min to figure out when I first had the issue, because it was a light I used almost all the time. As soon as I turned off the lamp, it went from that to almost nothing. Especially with humbuckers, like I say, you should have a bit of noise, but it's more like that lower sounding constant hum. This type is more like a high crackle. The other thing that can make it more confusing is, sometimes amps can get a similar sounding noise going on, almost the same crackly, almost staticky kind of sound, that can be constant, or constant with intermittent loud crackling, and that's usually from two-three things, or a combination, and those are usually bad Power Caps, which is kind of like the regular low 60 cycle hum, but only it's way louder than it should be, then the higher crackly/staticky noise is usually, and I say usually, because there could be other reasons, but usually I've had it from bad grid, or power resistors is a big one, and it often happens in Mesa's, because they use resistors that are often under rated for the voltage on them. Then, if you have bad Power caps, and that issue, or just multiple noise issues in general it can get really bad. The thing is, that 5150 is so new, I couldn't see it being bad caps, or resistors, though I mean, you never know, or there could be some other culprits in an amp that cause similar noise that I didn't touch on, like a bad tube somewhere, or some bad transistors, or something, but point is, I think you might be having a similar power issue like I was having from something in the house, or dirty power somewhere. When you have the noise going, try turn off, or unplug some different stuff around the room, and see what happens. All I know, is that amount, and type of noise isn't normal.
Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely look into my power situation. It's easy to forget about things like lamps and wifi routers when it comes to noise. I ordered a couple Furmans to try and test. The other thing is that the DJI wireless mic may be adding to noise floor,when I was “playing” it wasn’t fully muted so I think it was causing interference to the picks. Thanks again for the heads up really appreciate it!
Good comment.i use a old digitec effects pedal.29 years old.lol.has like 80presets.40 are programmable and saveable,it has a drum machine.but I can dial in a really great vanhalen type sound maybe o u 8 1 2 album sound.save it and play it a few days later and the sound isn't as good.its just not as good.also then I can play it a week later and it's back.also sometimes it will have unbearable feedback until I turn down the presets volume to half.which sucks using headphones.other days it's not there.i have a ton of other things plugged into the power.it goes from wall outlet,in the kitchen which has a ninja blast soda machine plugged in,a under cabinet fluorescent light,some various phone chargers,plugged into 2 plugs that branch.into a 6 way,then into a nother 6way,then to 3way,then an extension cord,across the room to a 6 way with 3 lights and a motorized recliner,and phone chargers, then into another 6 way....now that I write it all down it sounds insain..but that feedback thing has to be related.most likely from the power fluxuation.
@@ericgriffinthefirstthanks Eric for this. My furmans are coming today. I just assumed that since my house is only 10 years old I should have clean power. Interesting too I have had the same experience with my amps where one day they are dialed in and sound amazing then on another day they sound “different”.
I get it totally, can’t rip the amp out of a cab, people in my house will lose their minds with the noise. I use the captor and an ir so I can give an idea of the tones from the amp at a saturated level without blowing out my windows and eardrums. Totally a fair question! Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the comment. Thing is it doesn’t kill all the noise even if I am far away. With that being said does it function yea totally just not as well as other gates but I like having the feature built in
I dont mean to be rude but it always shocks me when I see a dude with all this gear and literally no guitar chops, it just doesn't make sense in my head - cool set up and shit tho

Dont be a hater skudini! My man has got talent!!!
🤣
STROBE LIGHT..SO POWERFUL!!!!!!!
😂😂
I had the little but massive iconic 15 combo. It sounded really good
Totally! That’s a sweet amp! Did you have the 6l6 or el34 version?
@@ChasingThatTone 6l6
Did you notice the 6l6 version sounded dark at all? That’s what I was getting in my ear and why i got the el34 version
Soooo why would you use an ir for a 80 watt head ?most people are going to play through a cab

Clicked on this because Boiler Up. Hammer down. Also those iconics sound sick.
Thanks for watching! Go Boilermakers!
You sit too close to amp friend, that's why the gate doesn't work very well
Thanks for the comment. Thing is it doesn’t kill all the noise even if I am far away. With that being said does it function yea totally just not as well as other gates but I like having the feature built in
I love the lip smack after every sentence
total tick lol
Let's go Hoosiers!
Definitely had a much better football year!

Not rude at all. My skills are pretty basic. Just love gear!
