Do you have an annoying hum, buzz, hiss or noise on your guitar amp that you can't get rid of? Then, this video is for you!

I'm going to give you 10 tips that you can apply to drastically reduce the noise of your rig and guitar amps.

Each tip alone is going to make a small difference only to eliminate the noise, but if you can apply 5 or more of them, it will make a big difference combined!

Here are the 10 tips and timestamps:

0:00 Why you shouldn't use a noise gate pedal
0:42 #1 - Get rid of any daisy chaining cable
1:18 #2 - Get a power supply with isolated outputs
2:00 #3 - Use high quality cables
3:04 #4 - Plug your gear in the same power strip
4:22 #5 - Play with humbuckers or noiseless single coils
5:06 #6 - Use shorter cables
6:16 #7 - Get a buffer (or buffered pedals)
7:01 #8 - Reduce the gain on your distortions/overdrives
7:54 #9 - Consider removing your compressor pedal
9:04 #10 - Find an optimal spot in your room
10:07 #11 (bonus) - Live with some noise!
