I posted this in Pedal Steels section but it works herre as well..
At first I thought it was the amp but after running other instruments through the 400 I discovered that only the Mullen created hum. It's there with or without the Boss FV=500H volume pedal although obviously the Boss increases and decreases the hum volume when used. However, I get no hum at all through my Crate GT65. I'm no techie so I don't understand pickups, windings, etc. Is there a simple explanation for the hum? Do I need to replace the stock Mullen pickup? I am a beginner so I don't want to spend a lot of $$$ resolving this issue.
I made a recording of the hum but can't seem to find how to upload it! It's just a typical electronics hum.
Thanks!

| Fred, I think the Discovery guitars have single coil pickups. In some situations single coil pickups hum. If you want no hum you may need to get a humbucking double coil pickup. Hope this information helps. |
