For recording right now, I'm using a Joyo JDI-01 between the power amp and speakers of my Music Man HD130 212 (in addition to micing the amp). The first time I tried it out, it did what it was supposed to: running that way, the amp colored the direct signal (rather than the usual flat direct sound you get with running guitar direct i.e. pretty much all of Prince's album Dirty Mind), and it gave me something to mix the mic'd signal with.
I tried it out for the second time yesterday, and I got really bad 60 cycle hum, which I didn't last time. Tried flicking the ground lift switches on both my amp and DI on and off, but it didn't go away. I had the box sitting on top of my amp both times. I managed to get rid of it with Ableton's noise gate for the most part, but I don't want to have to use a gate to begin with. Any way to fix this?
