Re: Line6 loopers



Or a ground loop caused by any other piece of gear in the chain that has an improperly wired grounding scheme...

It could also be a shielding issue within the Line6 box (ie, it's receiving the
RF trash and processing it).

Or could it be a problem with differing line voltages? I've seen that vary
considerably between locations and every once in awhile a piece of gear will do
odd things if the voltage is too far out.
