[QUOTE="mikegyver, post: 131495, member: 3148"] I've run into this before, and it's probably not your modules that's your problem because I have cranked higher gain modules than an SL+ and had very little noise. Feedback and squealing is a little different than noise too, where noise is normal with high gain, but feedback and squealing is something else. My suggestion: 1) Get a power conditioner (dirty power causes more noise than you might think) 2) Using a telecaster or guitar with single coils? Be sure to properly shield the cavity or swap to humbuckers (there are plenty of tutorials online on how to properly shield a guitar cavity to block noise). 3) Your Tubes! If it squeals and stuff at only 4-5 gain, then something is wrong. Swap them all out (the modules ones too) for some new ones, one of them has gone microphonic or is failing 4) Stand farther away from your amp :) Do that and I promise you will have no abnormal noise, squeals, etc. [/QUOTE]
