Hi There,
I have a buzz issue and would appreciate some suggestions to solve it. I am the sound tech for an Indian casino.
When we have bands play, anytime we have a player using single coil pick-ups, there is a loud buzz.
The buzz occurs according to orientation. When the musician turns in place the buzz lessens but is still audible. This leads me to believe that it is the guitar at fault picking up electromagnetic interference.
The buzz sounds more like a higher frequency buzz than a 60Hz hum. If they switch the pickup selector to a middle position (selecting two pickups at once) then the buzz is also reduced. Obviously a single coil situation here. We have tried a optical isolator which helped but does not solve the problem.
Being a casino there is obviously a lot of power being routed in many different directions for many purposes.
Any ideas for how to solve this issue? I can have the casino electricians fix the problem, but I would need to give them a direction to go in.
Thanks!
