Boss GT-1000 send/return noise

[afonsom98]

Well, it appers that the noise from the send return of the Boss GT-1000 Core is "supposed to happen" by Roland standarts.

I said so before, in both my main setups, the combination of a Tonex One in the loop of a GT-1000 is working with amazingly low noise.

It’s pretty apparent when sustaining a chord, as the noise creeps in subtly.

Just the TO and GT connected?

Not for me. I have already been posting some sound examples in the GT thread.

They're somewhere in the GT thread. I'm on a mini tour until Sunday and don't have my random file SSD with me.

So, weird thing. I notice the noise when connecting my headphones to the gt-1000 in stereo out, BUT I dont notice as much (very little compared to before) when connecting the gt-1000 to my focusrite audio interface. Now its playable to me, ah ah ah. weird.

Three things I noticed (not only with the GT but it's more apparent at times):

1) You *need* proper ground somewhere in the chain. As the PSU isn't supplying any proper ground, that might already result in some issues, especially when just playing through headphones. The connection to your interface might provide better grounding.

2) It's always worth checking the various ground lifting options. Because, as much as you need one proper ground, "too much" of it might throw it as well.

2b) With the GT-1000 Core, I'm running the main out through an extra DI box. That seems to help often.

3) You need a great PSU. For me, the Harley Benton ISO series ones work great. I have them on both boards.

All this said: So far I have always been able to get an extremely clean low noise signal out of my setups. In fact, I don't think I ever had cleaner setups before.

I have a fender engine room lvl8 connected to all pedals, so all good on that

By the way, how should I reconcile the GT-1000 input level with the Tonex pedal’s input trim? Do you recommend adjusting anything in the send/return settings?

I kept everything at the default settings on the GT, but I'm using 0dB as the input gain on the TXO.
