Hi All,
Brand new PRS owner here and I wonder if anyone else has experienced the (small) problem I'm having?
I've been running my PRS through some pedals (TC Electronic & BOSS) and into an amp. I've tried all three amps I own - BOSS Katana, Yamaha and Marshall - and with each I get a buzzing that's loud enough to put me off. I'm also using high quality cables (D'Addario). I can reduce the noise by earthing - ie touching any metal part of the guitar. To cut a long story short, it's the power supply to the pedal that's the cause as running the pedals off battery cures it completely.
So it sounds as though the power supply is faulty? Well, no. If I use any of my other electric guitars while the pedal is connected to the mains, it's completely silent.
Maybe this means that the PRS is hyper sensitive to electrical inference. I could try changing the power supply for my pedals, but this seems a little extreme when four other guitars work fine with it.
Has anyone else experienced and maybe resolve this?
Thanks.
