I noticed that if I plug my guitar straight into my interface and load up a high gain amp sim, I can hear that electrical buzzing when not playing.
But if I put an OD pedal in front of the interface, all that hum goes away. I mean, just dead silent even if I crank the amp sim gain. It's great, much better than before when I was using an overdrive plugin.
I'm using the Hardwire CM-2 and there's no internal noise gate as far as I know. Wonder what's going on, is the pedal acting as a ground lift or something?
