Just built my first eTap2hw and, whilst the echoes sound great, I'm a little concerned about the amount of hiss I am hearing through the amp. I have just connected the guitar to the eTap2hw and then straight to the input of my Laney VC15-110 (a 15W valve amp). I can roll off the treble on the amp and turn off the bright switch which helps a bit but then the tone isn't what I like. I also tried the same arrangement with my Marshall AVT50 and the hiss is quite audible with it too.
When the eTap2hw is connected to the computer through my Focusrite interface the hiss doesn't seem as bad. I recorded some 'silence' from the eTap2hw and from my existing setup for a comparison and the eTap2hw is as quiet if not quieter so it looks like it's an interaction with it and the amp inputs, maybe
I had originally made the audio connections inside the aluminium diecast enclosure using plain wire but on ecca's advice I re-wired using screened cable but this made no difference
Perhaps I am being overly critical but I think I read someone's comment on here how quiet their unit is
If anyone has come across a similar problem and found a solution I'd really appreciate some help.
Cheers.
