It might be the wiring on my Shobud but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed more hum using the Hilton active versus a passive volume pedal
I am going into a Twin Reverb
Thanks! |

| I always found the Hilton VP to be dead quiet. Is the same rig in fact quieter with a pot pedal? |

| No noise whatsoever in my Hilton. About the same as my Goodrich pot pedals...equally quiet. |

| Amplified pedals amplify everything, even any hum from pickups or wiring. It's possible the volume in your Hilton pedal is set too high, and more gain means more 60-cycle hum may be heard from your guitar. If your pedal has a volume adjustment on the bottom, it may help if you turn it down a little. |

The hum is coming from my "I"spot transformer used for my digital delay. It pretty much went away using a Boss transformer'
Thanks for the replies!! |
