HELP ! As the title says , my black star ht 5 have just started buzzing today.. I just place a mic infront of it to mic it for recording and i'm playing through a epiphone les paul custom. Didnt hear any buzzes last few months i've been using.. HELP PLEASE !
 
The mic is like your ear amplified, and the mic is placed at the amp speaker.
How often do you put your ear at the speaker to hear that buzz?
It's probably always there.

Either that, or your guitar cables/ mic cables/ audio interface is noisy.
You can have fun troubleshooting
 
do provide more info for troubleshooting help,

1. take away the mic, play geetar, still got hum?

2. any effect pedals between amp and guitar?

3. mic is connected to where?

4. any audio interface for mic?

5. how do you monitor the output level of the mic input?

So everyday you played without any buzz.
And today you put a mic infront of the amp and there's a audible buzz.

Provide more info pl0xxxx
 
Okay, when i take away the mic, i still can hear the buzz.
i never connect any effects. Just pure Ht 5 And My epiphone les paul custom
THe mic is an usb mic and i connected it to my laptop.
With or without the mic, i still can hear the buzz, its loud :/
When i plugged in my Alexi 200 flying v, i dont hear any single buzz.
Had oxidation on the pickups on my les paul custom. Maybe thats the cause of it?

Ok, one problem solved. Nothing to do with mic

another area cleared.

confirmed, problem of the buzzing, is between amp---guitar, but where exactly, that one, still need more simple analytical steps to come to a bsic conclusion

When i plugged in my Alexi 200 flying v, i dont hear any single buzz
is the answer here? Plug in another geetar, theres no buzz, plug in ephiphone, there is buzz.
A possible clue to where the problem of buzzing came from perhaps. If you are not sure of the inner working, just bring the geetar to shops recommended round here for a check.

oxidation should not cause any hum/buzzing etc. On a geetar itself, those are purely cosmetic and has nothing to do with the inner workings of geetar wiring/components, which often can be the cause of issues like noise, hum, buzzing etc.
