Need help with "static" sounds.. urgently!!

[khaos11]

hi guys,

recently, i just got myself a Line 6 XT live pro, i think its great with all the sounds and such but when i went to this particular studio and plug it into their Peavey, (taking into consideration i already reduced everything on the amp to zero) it gave a super high feedback sound. but the amazing thing was when i pluged it into the marshall next to it... it didn't give that feedback... its really puzzling.... is it the amp, or are my settings on the XT screwed up...? and no, i'm not standing too close to my amp.

any gd advice on setting up my amp b4 i start jamming? i know, the best thing is usually to set both the effect processor and amp's volume to zero and adjust from there... but how do i prevent that feedback sound... thnks alots

i'm not very experienced with this, but i'm guessing the input hole on the Peavey amp may be loose. happens with old amps.

you may want to check the settings on your Line6 too, since it's new.

thnks for the response, other then a loose cable. could there be any other cause?... is it possible to even get a total silence when i'm on a heavy distortion when i totally mute my guitar? cause i'm kinda playing ambient stuff, and the static sound totally kills the vibe..

if the cause really is my jack (maybe i didn't tighten it properly), is it possible for anyone out there care to recommend me a gd guitar technician to advise this situation. thnks
