Hey all,
I've received my amp back from PRS with the mod implemented. All in all, I'd have to say it's an improvement. The loop noise is now much quieter and actually usable. It's definitely not silent but it's quiet enough that I can live with it. The RFI noise I had is much quieter but the loop cables are still very sensitive to picking up interference. I put a few ferrite cores on the cables and it's helped a bit. The loop is now tolerable, which is a win of some kind.
Btw, how noisy are your Archons with the gain channel master volume knob at, say, 9-11 o'clock? I seem to remember mine being quieter than it is now. When I crank the gain channel's master volume, the background noise is very loud. I'd have to speak up to be heard over it However, if I keep the gain channel master down very low (like just above the minimum), it is very quiet. Is this normal for Archons?
Also, anybody used a wireless unit into their Archon? I use a Line 6 G50 and the noise floor rises considerably using that vs. just a cable straight from the guitar to the amp. The noise floor with the wireless is now about the same as the noise floor not using the wireless but with the loop engaged.
