Noise when I pick or pluck

I have the same problem with my Frontman amp. I think part of the problem is because it's a solid state amp, I tried a friends Mesa tube amp using my own set-up and I found that the picking sound wasn't as noticeable. It doesn't totaly eliminate the problem but it does make a difference.

Side note. I tried TheDirt's suggestion about picking technique and it helps. Thanks for the tip! :)

funny thing is kind of like the authenticity of the picking noice you get from older LPs, like old BB King stuff. I especially think it adds a much needed touch to the blues.

I noticed with my noice that i was picking/plucking to hard. for me the 3 things that helped...help...

Thinner pick (wierd huh)

Turning UP the volume, tunes out the individual pick on string noise

and like everyone else, just picking differently.

i'm addicted to giving my two cents... so there you go.

I had that problem in reverse awhile back. I was playing thru a digitech rp200a, and using one of my presets.... the problem with it was it sounded too processed and digital... it was like I was playing a keyboard or synth.... it bothered me so much because I really wanted to change the tone by how I played... like make a difference between plucking and picking... etc..

I've started to just play thru amps more often (when not in the metal kingdom), and it fixed my problem.
