Didn't expect wireless to solve this

Funny thing
Overall my signal chain is pretty clean.
But sometimes there is a very annoying hum/interference that i can't locate except suspect the Airco or washer/dryer.

To experiment i bought a wireless set and to my surprise the setup is a lot less noisy. I can understand grounding issues with wireless but didn't expect it also to have a positive effect on the other interference. I love older guitars so i guess I'm going to play wireless all the time now

Anyone else have experiences like this ?

I've never tried a wireless, but on my pedal board I switched from a plug in power supply to a battery powered one. It lowered the noise.

Is it possible that the cable you were using isn't well shielded? I have several different cables downstairs ranging from a cheap no name to Mogami. Perhaps I should do a comparison.

Tried different cables.
Whole set is on one group and over 2 power conditioners

Already solved some issues with 2 line isolators and overal the noise floor is almost non existent. Even with gain I hardly use a gate.

We live on an industrial area and sometimes there is an interference i can't really pin point. It seems with wireless it's gone. At least for a large part.

Just surprised me. I thought it would help with some grounding issues with some old guitars but was surprised it actually also helped with other problems

Electromagnetic Interference - Help!!

I am trying to pinpoint the source of the EMI that is making it's way into my DAW in my home studio. The funny thing is that if I sit facing my computer monitor with my guitar I get the EMI, turn 90 degrees and nothing as long as I stay within a degree or so of the sweet spot. Now, if I face the...
