I don't mind it during practice, but I need it to be feedback free for gigging
I use a relatively cheap strat that I modded by adding a p90If you don't mind me asking. . . do you have an expensive guitar that came with the P90s, or do you have a low end guitar that came with the P90s, or did you swap out the original PUs for the P90s in whatever guitar you're using?
I'm curious because I've been looking at a Harley Benton SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series with P90s and am curious to see if they're noisy as in your situation.
it was originally an HSS, but it replaced the bridge humbucker with the p90. I wanted something a little more snappy. The humbucker buzzed a little bit before, but now it's a lot. I think i'm just gonna get a noisegate pedal, but it's still relatively irritating.How many P90s did you add to your (cheap) strat? Is your strat a 2-pickup model (not the usual 3-PU style) like this one with two humbuckers?

thank you very much sir, that just saved me like 70 bucks for an mxr noisegateIF it's a strat, I would recommend getting some copper sheilding tape and coat both the inside of the route and the underside of the pickguard. I did that with my G&L Legacy and it significantly quieted the buzz. You can get a roll of copper tape for $10 on Amazon. If you want to go the cheap route, you can use aluminum foil and double stick tape. Make sure everything is grounded, check continuity after you install it.
they just buzz a lot. I don't mind feedback, but i want to be able to hear my guitar instead of all the humming. it probably doesnt help that i play with distortion mostly, but I got some copper sheilding tape and that significantly quieted the buzzingAs in they feedback more than say, a strat or other single coil guitar? I have heard that some non hum-bucking pickups can become microphonic where the coil is wound a little loose and the coil windings can move, making them into mics? If you tape the pickups with the volume up, or even shot into to them, does that make a noise?
