Thanks Chris. Tried it all. I appreciate your diligent answers and links. Some things decrease noise but nothing knocks it out so far. I have to use a noise gate as my first component in every rack set up. The global one I can't turn up more than 20% or my high notes lose all sustain. The component ones I have to use lightly as well or lose my sustain on my leads. It's crazy to have spent so much money and have to deal with this.
