I'm trying to run two amps just using a Boss stereo chorus, but I get a ground loop....

Well, my solution to run multiple preamps and such is a Voodoo Labs GCX Guitar Audio Switcher along with a Ground Control Plus pedal....There's one on rig-talk right now for 600...I know it's pricey but it's awesome....

Which is cool, because the GCX has a built in buffer, before the loops.
In other words: NEVER do this..Rod said:RAY'S SOLUTION IS THE BEST AND SAFEST..The emergency version is to lift the ground on 1 of the amps....You use those grey 3 into 2 connectors that go on the end of the power cord..Cost about 80 cents....but your 1 amp is not grounded..
I've never had this said about me, much less in CAPS, lol...my ideas are often described as Bad & Dangerous.RAY'S SOLUTION IS THE BEST AND SAFEST
$0.80 is too much, i'd just cut the third prong off the IEC power cable :shock:Rod said:..You use those grey 3 into 2 connectors that go on the end of the power cord..Cost about 80 cents....but your 1 amp is not grounded..
crankyrayhanky said:Regarding the "tone suck" issue, how could that be? It's basically converting power, so only 1 amp is grounded and the amp in the Ebtech is a safer version of a 2 prong? IDK, I never heard tone suck with this method.....though I haven't used it in a while, I used to run (2) rm100s but now I'm down to (1)
You're right... I wasn't thinking about the Hum-X (which interacts with the power line)... I was thinking about the Hum Eliminator ( http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ebtech-2Channel-Hum-Eliminator?sku=150450 ) when I wrote that. The Hum Eliminator works miracles but since it interacts with the audio signal can cause tone suck.
