Excellent info. Love Morley wahs. Switchless is what sold me. And they sound great.

Coil split humbuckers are electrically equivalent to single coil pickups. They can be just as noisy. My Gibson Les Paul Classic has coil split capability, and the noise increase in that mode was quite noticeable. I decided to shield the control cavity with copper foil tape. I was surprised to find that the 3-way switch cavity also required shielding. The noise level climbed as I held the switch cavity closer to my body. After adding the foil shielding, the noise floor was greatly improved. There was even a small noise floor improvement in humbucking mode. Guitar manufacturers should shield all their guitars.

got one of these for a rack mount synth that was causing horrible ground loop hum going into my audio interface. couldn’t believe it worked tbh absolute miracle product as far as i’m concerned lmao. nice work Morley

This channel has been surprisingly helpful. Guitar player here. Amp hums/buzzes uncontrollably in some places more, some less, some not at all. Is the Humno just a better/more versatile Hum Exterminator? I live in 🇨🇦 and have a basic setup, so which one is more ideal for me. Thanks for the help. Subbed!

Hello, thank you for your effort in this topic. I am having issue with my electric guitar directly connected to the amp and have hum noise. Noise is still there when I unplug the guitar, and noise increases if I move jack cable close to the power outlet. And it completely disappears if I unplug jack cable too. Will behringer hd400 hum destroyer with TRS cable to the amp solve my issues? I am searching for weeks and couldn't find a solution unfortunately.

I Won't be Purchasing a Crate GFX 15 Amp . . . any time soon - That's-for-Sure !!!

I have a Yamaha Genos keyboard and lately been getting subwoofer hum. I live in North America. Which attachment do you recommend?

[kennethdileo]

Hopefully it's not the power capacitors in the amp. Then you'll have to take it to a amp technician, unless you know how to do it yourself.

The humming sound only comes when i increase the gain on the amp. When i unplug the guitar the sound is gone, what can i do?

[mattflickinger]

So is the HumNo the same as the HumX, just a different solution? Have the Hum X at home, haven’t gigged in a while, just wondering if the HumNo is better.

[rahulsawant]

Sir, when ever electrical switch is on or off, speakers make noise, any solution

[waynegram]

What guitar cables have shielding that won't cause audio hum from transformers? there must be guitar audio cables that have a certain type of shielding so you can use them close to transformers. Why doesn't Morley make a Guitar Pickup Hum device that can filter out the noises and hum from single coil pickups.

[philipleigh]

How can the humno or humx work when the amp has only 2 core mains cable

[luia]

Does this also work for speakers and monitors and subwoofers?

[dnt]

Great product !!! What is this beautiful white guitar ?

[MYGAS]

Can a ground loop be created by two amps on the same power strip? If yes how is this possible when they have common ground?

[vincentbranciforti]

you never turned on the fender after installing the humno

[mrBDeye]

Is this a trick video? You plugged in the humno and vola the hum is gone. You kept the humno connected and hum appears again when turned on the amp to demonstrate hum exterminator. Did anyone else catch this? 😮
