Hi guys,

My SCXD is pretty noisy on the gain channel, and oddly it changes based on how I'm standing. Almost like I'm an antennae, but not actually hearing radio.

I'm using good cables and have tried taking everything out of the chain except one short cable. I have two guitars both with EMG actives that are very quiet. Same results with both. I have tested my outlets and they are grounded properly.

It didn't used to be like this. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Have you added a pedal or changed instrument cables recently?

I do have pedals, and I've tried taking everything out of the chain except for one short cable. It doesn't seem to change anything. :(

Did the increase in spurious noise coincide with moving the amp to a different room or did you recently place some new piece of electronic gear (TV monitor, computer, fluorescent lamp, etc) into the room?

I did move earlier this year. I can't remember if this started before or after that.

It's also notable that the clean channel is very quiet and sounds nice. It's the gain channel that is noisy and actually some of the voicings are way way worse than others.
