    Maybe I’m just ‘lucky’ and got a lemon 44. The day before album release party….sigh.

    You “administrate” and “verbally chastise” selectively. I initially chimed in on another thread where someone else was experiencing the same issue, which, is an annoying high pitched humming sound. See below.

    https://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/4766/

    I guess I assumed my references to the “Hum Debugger” would have tipped you off to the problem within the context of the thread.

    One of the biggest selling points by EHX on the 44 Magnum was “how clean it sounds”. It’s simply not true. I assumed that it was a ground loop issue at first because the “amp” by itself was RELATIVELY clean (with a little hiss, no biggy) at the “8 o’clock” position that I was using it at. The “gnat buzzing” sound only happened when I fed the stereo out side of my effects loop to the 44. So, then I tried all the aforementioned methods to eliminate what I thought to be ground loop.

    Once the borrowed power conditioner failed. I once again went straight into the 44 and started dialing up the knob to where it “overdrives”. Low and Behold, the SAME high frequency hum revealed itself and led me to the conclusion that it was a problem inherent to the 44 itself (or it’s power supply) and NOT the product of ground loop.

    I had seen this as a known issue on reviews, but it seemed to be mostly contained to Keyboard players.

    Thanks for being so helpful instead of hostile, Admin. Oh wait…..

    44 Magnum is FAIL. I’ve tried everything this week to make it successfully push the “wet” side of a stereo setup. I moved my noise gate around, bought a “noise suppressing” surge protector (no improvement), borrowed a friend’s Furman Power conditioner and it made NO difference. I wonder if the 22 Calibur has the same problem, but my local EHX dealer is out of those.

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE EHX products typically, But I wish I had one more hand because I’d give the 44 Magnum 3 thumbs DOWN. I imagine, EHX would suggest I buy one of their “hum debuggers”, but between: POG2, Memory Boy, Holy Grail Nano, Electric Mistress and 44 Magnum, I’ve already pumped almost $1,000 into the company THIS YEAR ALONE. I’ll be damned if I’m going to go spend ANOTHER $150 to “debug” something that shouldn’t be there to begin with.

    After calling and leaving 2 messages with Tech support and NO RETURN Call after 4 days, I’m Returning my 44 this afternoon. EHX Tech support is also FAIL.

    I am encountering the same issue. Just bought mine 2 days ago as a way to run stereo. It actually sounds perfectly clean when I go straight in to the 44 Mag. I encounter the “little gnat” sound when I incorporate it into my effects loop.

    Any one trying this same thing and experiencing the same problem?
