I have a Mesa Boogie Lonestar 2x12 combo. My main two electric guitars are a Fender 50's Series Telecaster and a Hamer Californian Elite. I have shielded both guitars with copper and potted the pickups on the Tele. My amp and all pedals are running into a Furman SS-6B power conditioner that has EMI/RF noise attenuation. My pedals run into a Voodoo Labs PP2+. So why am I having issues with noise?
1. I sometimes get radio signals through my amp
2. I pickup a lot of noise when playing too closely to my computer or other electronics
3. My amp pops when I turn my ceiling fan off.
4. My amp makes a light intermittent crackling staticy sound when the guitar is plugged in and volume all the way up using both guitars, on both channels, loop on or off, and out of different outlets. The amp has recently been serviced with all tubes swapped for new. The tech didn't have the problem at his shop or so he says. If you listen closely it sounds like a small campfire in the amp.
I used to play unshielded guitars through an efx processor into a power amp and never had issues. I thought I was upgrading
