major buzzing problem..help!

[cjx34]

Ok. If anybody in here can help me, i will worship you forever.

No matter what combination of guitar / amp i use at my house, it buzzes and sounds terrible, the louder the volume is, the louder the buzzing is, theres even a little bit of buzzing on the clean channel. I play the same equipment at my friends newer house and it works perfect, no noises at all.

I have had the grounds in my guitars checked, the amp is brand new, i bought new cables, i bought a 50$ power strip / surge protector, and i bought a ground adapter that turns my standard 3 prong plug into a 2 prong without the ground, no matter what i do, it always buzzes at my house.


Can anyone help me or offer any suggestions?
And can anyone tell me if i continue to play with it buzzing if it will hurt any of my instruments?

you probably have dirty pots(bad wire connection in the guitar/amp wiring) just call a good guitar store and have them help you :)

I'll try, but please don't worship me.

I'd go with what the person above me said, but, you said it's with any combination with Guitar/Amp. Have you tried different cables? Made sure there's no electronic interference in the room? My house is really bad for playing guitar because it has old electrical outlets. We recently had all the outlets in my bedroom replaced, and now it's pefect, so you may just all in all be getting interference. I'd also be careful using the two pronge plug adapter, if there ever happens to be a surge in your house, and you have your amped plugged in, it could damage your amp. (Unless you're using the surge protector of course).


That's just some stuff that it MAY be. You never know to be honest, you just have to check everything and electronic interference is almost positive to what I can say. Second guess would be your cables, the best way to check imo, is, get an extension cord and take your amp out into the middle of the yard, where interference will be minimal, see if you still buzz.

hey dood if i were you its either the surrounding of your house but if thats the case i would order mogami line cables on ebay OR george L cables they do wonders! ALSO if you have pedals maybe? get george L patches solderless ones and presto!

Sounds like the same problem I had with one of my wall outlets. I think it has dirty power coming through the outlet. Have you tried all the outlets?
