Anyone know how to stop loud buzzing? I have to run the cord directly to/from the amp/guitar rather than the board when using dist. pedal due to buzz

Check your cable plugs are secure, move away from fluorescent lights, or could be the pedal itself. Run each seperately to test.

Shouldn't be the board, do you have a noise reducer? If your only getting from the board though then maybe one of the cords are flawed. Or another pedal on the board may be causing the buzz. Since buzz usually indicates a wire not grounded correctly somewhere. Not sottered right.

I had the same issue. The original power cord created a bug, so I used a power cable that came with one of my effects pedals and it worked. No noise at all

Most likely that will reduce the buzz. I occasionally get a buzz on the 3rd fret as well, but it hasn't been an issue.

Having the same issue with buzzing from left speakers...anybody found a solution yet? was thinking about returning it but realized Amazon only do refunds at this time

I actually didn't. I suppose I should have tried a better pickup, more shielding in the guitar cavity and better cables. Also, moving further away from the computer may help... or from the amp, for that matter. I don't use the Plug anymore.

I don't have many hours on my instrument yet, but so far, there is no buzzing sound like that, so I am guessing it may be a defect. I would suggest contacting the seller, as it could get worse later. I hope that helps.

To be honest I have always ran the gain pretty low because I use it as a direct amp and use other pedals for higher gain. The high or mid equalizer maybe? If the volume is really high alomg with the gain there could be more hiss.

I have this placed after my tuner and it feeds directly in to the rack effect unit that I control through a midi-pedal board. I ran into some cracking noise that was attributed to my cable which was old. Try arranging your pedals but keep in mind that distortion would have an affect on the output.

That's normal. Mine buzzes quite a bit, especially with lighter strings. Try a heavier gauge string and I bet the buzz stops.

Lee, I might offer that what you have is an electrical hum from an outside source like a computer or the current from your rig plugged into the wall. I experienced that before unplugging components and then listening. I still got to stick by this amp as it performs well for me not only busking a / stage work but studio work as well. Check for the proper wall adaptor or even call the people at Roland they actually answer the phone.well

Hi, A hum is typically a ground issue resulting from a wiring problem with the outlet into which you've plugged the amp. It could also involve any effect pedal you're using. The amp itself should be dead quiet unless you're playing--it's a digital device, and a hum is analog. Unless the amp is defective, it's likely that a hum comes from somewhere else in the signal chain. You might try plugging the amp into an different outlet or power strip, trying your guitar through a different amp at a music store, or trying another guitar through your amp. This is a good amp and Fender wants you to be happy with it. Don't be shy about switching things around to isolate the problem, or asking for repair/replacement if the amp is found to be defective.

Nope, more likely than not the buzzing is coming from your output source. Try playing audio from a different source and see what happens.

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.

Could but a short in one of the jacks. Open the unit and inspect for loose soldering or something making contact. Also check your guitar cable(s). A compressor/sustainer is going to basically amplify all string noise and buzzing coming from the guitar. The main thing that causes hum is the 60 Hz AC current, so check the pedal's power supply; make sure the output (100 mA) is matched. Make sure if your 9v battery is good if using battery alone. Compression is best AFTER Overdrive because you're picking up all the static in the line.

We do not have any buzzing at all from the cable. It works wonderful and is clear with the sound. We are using only one cable and have not attached a second cable to it. we have the cable attached from a computer to a TV 20 feet apart and it is as clear as if we had no cable and using on the TV. Depending on what device you are attaching the cable to if it has a gain button you might try adjusting the gain. or you may have a bad cable and need to return and replace it. Hope this helps

Only own one pair. I don't have any issues with buzzing. I'm sure you've tried, but it's worth asking: 1. Did you try them from a different source, amp, cable?2. Make sure the cables is inserted fully. I noticed one of the cables had a very snug fit. Hope you can solve the issue.

1. Don't use it like a pedal in front of an amp, it's meant to be used as a DI box into a soundboard. 2. Make sure your on board eq controls on your guitar aren't turned up the whole way, if the volume on your guitars eq is blasted it will distort the effect. 3. If you are using other effects, make sure they aren't overdriving the ADI21. If everything is correct and its still distorting than it may be the effect. I've never had any problems with it distorting at all, it should be a pretty transparent effect just adding some eq to your signal and acting as a DI.

I have sold several of these without any issues. Check your ground at the panel. I think neutral and ground need to be bonded in your panel if it is hard wired to panel. If you mounted an outlet to the inverter, try connecting the ground and neutral together and the use a ground rod to earth. I cant think of anything else that would cause it. Sometimes fans will hum slightly, that is from the square sine wave but I havent heard of buzzing in stereo yet.
