I had the same issue running a Swart STR-Trem in stereo with another amp. This fixed it for me. I do not believe it removes the ground if the tab is connected to the wallplate screw.

Now, do we have a thread on using copper tape inside a Strat to get rid of pickup noise? I saw something called "Buzz Kill". Any experience? — Surf.The most dangerous of genres...

Now, do we have a thread on using copper tape inside a Strat to get rid of pickup noise? I saw something called "Buzz Kill". Any experience? I’ve used conductive tape to shield the control cavity of a Strat. Just a matter of working carefully and then making certain that it’s grounded. — The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. Top

Basically, the path to ground has to be precisely the same for both amps, and that can happen, but don’t count on it. There are ABY boxes that can take care of this problem, and that’s probably going to be the solution. The HumX eliminators Death Tide mention are probably a good path, although I don’t know the product. — SSIV Top

And, of course the possibility of introducing weird paths to ground is a factor. The thing you will want to do is transformer-isolate these outputs with a proper pedal. — SSIV Last edited: Aug 21, 2021 01:32:18 Top
