If you're a guitar player you've likely experienced this before, but ever since I moved into this new house I've been getting fm radio playing through my guitar amps. If varies depending on what guitar/amp combination I'm using. My vintage 78 JMP has been rendered useless, my orange amp has (until today) been fine. The radio interference is worse when playing with active pickups, and sometimes disappears with passive pickups.
Today I noticed something strange. I was playing a guitar with active EMG p/u's, into my Orange OR15, which usually is very quiet and free of any RFI. But, then the radio came blasting through, loud as hell. The only thing different this time was that I had a wah pedal plugged in, but not engaged. I found that if I disconnected the 9v wall wart power supply of my wah pedal that the RFI went away completely.
So my question to everyone is: Am I getting radio interference through my A/C power outlets? Or is it a combination of different factors creating a perfect storm of fm radio hell?
Any suggestions or tips for eliminating this?
