I just picked up a new Waves iGTR pocket amp. Very cool. I use it all the time but it produces a somewhat annoying side effect.....I get "hum". I have a strat HSS knock-off. I get hum in the humbucker as well as the single coils. Its not terrible, but I'd like to get rid of it. The pocket amp uses batteries or a DC power supply (thing you plug into the wall that converts AC to DC). I use the DC power supply exclusively. However...... the DC power supply is a 2-prong device. No connection to ground. So the guitar ground is "floating" or isolated from ground. Obviously when I contact the strings the noise is reduces quite a bit (not entirely, but better). The bridge is tied to the guitar ground in the control cavity (tied to the Vol Pot case). Any ideas on how to reduce/eliminate the "hum"?
thanks.
thanks.
