Archon loop hum

[CarlGuitarist]

Hey all, first time poster!

Recently got an Archon 25 and I am completely floored by it. Best cleans I’ve ever played and a gain channel that is kicking my drive pedals off the board basically. I do have a hum issue with the loop, even if I just run a cable from the send straight to the return. The hum almost goes away if I orient the cable plugs away from the IEC-input. Any ideas?

It's possible you have unshielded cables, happened to someone I know...

I made them myself so I hope not lol. But I’ll try other cables just to rule it out

Sounds like it might have a bad internal ground

Sounds reasonable. I’ve contacted CS so we’ll ser what they say. Would a bad internal ground be an expensive fix?

Well turns out I have a pre-loop fix Archon. The fix seems easy enough at least.
