Re: noise issues - not a "problem" but an issue
OK, yeah. You got me. I don't know what to think. Could it be the
preamp? Is the amp a tube amp? Guitar combo, or just plain power amp?
If you're running it with a distorted sound, you will be compressing
the signal, and that could be it. I'm sure you've checked your gain
path, and I trust aren't overloading the EDP (newer ones have a built
in limiter to avoid overload, but that's compression) or the amp
inputs... I'm sans EDP, so I think this is a job for Matthais or Kim.
Good luck.
