So I have been having issues with my gate on my g major lately. First, here is my scenario:
i have a tremoverb, gmajor in loop, out to mesa cab.
I use a gibson explorer with emg 81/85
Volume master is about 11 and channel master is noon.
Lately, band practice has just been murder. Every time there is a break in the song and i'm on my modern high gain channel i get mad unwanted squeals/hums. I've tried to resolve this by turning my gmajor noise gate up....but then either it begins cutting off my leads, or muffling up the channel alltogether.
I realize the gmajor's noise gate isn't a good gate, but that's what i got for now. I believe i have my threshold set to -23db right now with damp around 20 (these are numbers i'm pulling off the top of my head from our last practice when i messed with it) but i can't seem to find good setting where i dont get the squeals/hums on breaks and still lets my full sound come through during play. It's getting so bad that i'm having to use my volume pedal every time there's break in the song (which is terribly inconvenient, especially when a break may be 1 sec long).
Any suggestions on the settings?
