i have a decent amp that costs about $900 dollers. However i have a standard fender. I tend to hear hum on the single coils and when ever i touch the low strings i hear a quick static pop, thats not to loud but you can hear it and its annoying! It is driving me crazy! Is a noise pedal the right path to take and if so which are good ones for about $100?

to reiterate: hum, which is characteristic of single coils, specially standard fender coils, but this annoying little static pop sound when ever i touch the low e and string below it.

A gate will only clean up the signal when you are not making any noise, so Im not sure it is the solution to your problem.

A Noise Gate will cancel the Hum, and the static if it's too low in volume.

The static is usualy a grounding problem.
