Hey guys ....just a quicky,

Anyone got a simple solution to getting rid of the rubbish ground hum when connecting a guitar to two amps via a signal splitter?.... it's driving me INSANE!!!!

The only thing I know of is using and isolated splitter

You have a ground loop going i guess....any good splitter(isolated) is designed to avoid that....what are you using?

the only other way round it, is to remove the ground pin from the plug; not that id reccomend that at all.

Radial makes a pedal also look at robert keeleys site he sells one too there's other I just can't think of them off hand , I had a radial and that was good. If you're using the 2 amps at the same time you should get a splitter with a buffer as well as the isolation xformer. If you're just using one amp at a time all you need is a splitter with an isolation xformer.

Remove the ground from a signal cable instead. Its always fun watching someone try and sing with the ground off the amp. You know what need fixing when they complain of electric shocks to the teeth!!
