OK here's the dilemma. I have my acoustic going into literally any effects processor and then out to a ditto X4 looper. I need to send that looped signal out to a monitor and to a PA but right now testing this, I can only get it to one or the other without introducing a loud buzzing sound.
If I try to send out of the second output of the looper, I get a buzz.
If I try to send out of a Radial bigshot AYB box, I get a totally silent signal out of one OR the other but the minute I hook up a second cable to either output jack, I immediately get the buzzing.
I've tried just plugging into a Helix LT and one output to a monitor (again, totally silent) but then a second cable out of the other main output or heapdphone output and immediately get the buzzing sound again.
The problem is that the PA cannot send to a monitor. It's a simple rig (not mine) that only sends out to a pair of mains so I have to split my signal down to my monitor.
I've ordered a Lehle Little Dual amp switcher that is active and has a transformer in it that they CLAIM eliminates the buzzing but will this actually fix the problem?
I've tried splitting this signal from a helix LT floor unit, a stomp HX unit, my Kemper and just straight into the looper and out to both PA and monitor and no matter what device I'm going to, the minute I try to split it to the second destination (pa or monitor) the buzz is introduced.
The bigshot's ground lift and iso switch don't fix the problem either.
I guess my main question is what is actually causing this problem in the first place? I've tried plugging both the PA and the floor monitor into a furman PL-Plus power conditioner to try and clean up the power if that was the culprit but no luck there either.
So the end result I need is this:
Acoustic guitar -> effects unit -> Looper -> Split to PA and Monitor
