Reamping Woes.. with Passive DI.

[Mago]

yeah, I've read a lot of times that reamping without a dedicated reamp box "works".
It does work, but it doesn't do it too well, usually. Maybe for some it worked cause for some reason the amp was happy with the output of the interface/dibox.

I think it's funny though that you work at a pro studio and didn't think of investing into essential pro gear...it's a waste of money to buy an awesome amp, just to feed it with a weak signal^^

Im in a similar situation, i have all new gear.

Brand New Les Paul Studio

RME Fireface 800
Great River 1NV

I bought a monster power 200 and cable kit with guitar.

I get an odd "grounding" buzz when not touching metal and even a bit when i am.

This is where the story is different from all other "bad ground" stories. I sent the guitar back to sweetwater, and they sent me a new one. Honestly the new one is maybe slighty worse. How can this be?

Other details.
- I've taken the guitar from my studio to my home. I get the same results.
- I also get the same results just playing through a POD with headphones.
- Not getting it with a bass i have with active pickups.
- I get the exact same bad noise from my previous Epiphone with similar electronics.
- Obviously but the noise is much more evident with distortion on.
- It is at its worst when the volume pot is full. Kind of reduces when lowering the middle.
- When the tone pot is all the way down is goes 99% away!

No flourescent lights on etc.

I've checked and tried everything, honestly.

Any suggestions would be amazing. Thanks everyone!
