    You wrote it's present no matter what cable, guitar etc.

    Can you try loading a rig with a bit more gain and completely disconnect the guitar cable and all other inputs (e.g. S/PDIF)? Listen through headphones connected to the Profiler. Is the noise still there? If not, I would guess it's not an issue with your Profiler but an RFI issue that makes your guitar / cable act like an antenna.

    Next step would be to shutdown your computer, switch off all cellphones, switch off room lights ... basically switch off everything but the Profiler. Noise still there?

    The noise is still present when the unit is away from other RFI sources - as far away as I can get in my relatively small house, that is. I took it with me to work, and the same noise at the same amplitude is still present in a completely different environment.


    Disconnecting the cable and other inputs (while monitoring through the headphone jack) does cause the noise to cease, which also made me suspect that it was something outside the unit itself. But if that's the case, I would also expect the volume of the noise to change when using different guitars or cables. Instead, the noise remains consistent regardless of all external factors. And - if it's the guitar or cables, why doesn't that same noise occur when I'm plugged into my amps, my Helix, or my audio interface? That's what's got me confused.

    Just recently took delivery of a used Profiler Stage, and while everything sounds great there's a noise issue I can't seem to resolve. It seems to be coming from the unit itself, as it's present regardless of what guitar, guitar cable, power cable, or location in my house I use. It's present in every output from the unit (headphones, XLR, etc.), and does not respond to any of the output control settings. It's louder in gainier profiles, or when increasing the gain on a given profile, but still present in cleaner ones as well. I've linked to a recording here:

    The unit has been updated to the most recent OS. For what it's worth - using the same guitars cables, power cords, etc. with my other gear (amps, direct box into my interface, Line 6 Helix) in the same room does not yield the same issue. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
