I am using a nashville 1000 with a stomp box digital delay, dtr-2 tuner, distortion stomp box and a goodrich volume pedal. When everything is unplugged the amp is quiet. All of the above equipment described is new items. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get rid of the noise? Any and all help would be appreciated
Thanks

Douglas;
In what sequence is all this stuff connected?
The volume pedal should be first in line. Are all the stomp boxes battery powered or on wall-wart power supplies?
Why do you want your tuner in line?

| I like being able to mute my guitar during a song or at a break in songs to bring a string up if it slips. The noise was present before the tuner was installed inline. All boxes are post volume pedal and delay is powered with adapter, overdrive powered by 9 volt battery. I tried the 9 volt battery on the delay but it would eat one battery per hour of use. |

| Power adapter that is used is the adapter made by the same manufacturer of the delay pedal. |

Do you still get the hum if you plug the steel directly into the amp, bypassing the volume pedal and all the other stuff? If so, it may be your pickup, or a bad cable.

Does not buzz when plugged straight to the amp.
I have tried several different brands of outboard equipment with no luck.

Is it "noise", or is it a ground loop hum?

| Well I think you may have hit on it Mike. It just seems to be there constantly no matter what I do. I have everything grounded and it doesnt matter where I go it follows. |

It may not be the most desireable for you, but; Try the Rear External Effects-Loop. That should cancel it out, when using A/C Adaptors, especially! Batteries don't usually cause a Hum in the front or rear, but; Adaptors do in the front!

| Thanks I will give that a try and see how it works. I will let you know. I have never used the rear effects loop. |

| Try different arrangements of ground lifts on your plugs. |
