Thanks for the feedback, I was looking for more of a hook up suggestion, I have spent a lot of time playing with the settings of the Silencer pedal itself, and the amount of Hum I get is directly effected by the venues where I play, sometimes none, other times a ton, My last show started out with a fairly decent amount of Hum and by the third set there was no hum and I had turned the Silencer completely off??? I have changed my pedal board config since my original post, so I can use the ES5 to control which patches are using the silencer, we will see how it goes.
