Was reading up on this after a studio visit yesterday. A friend was "recording" but the electrical was so bad that any guitar amp with almost every guitar they had was buzzing to the point it was louder then any guitar audio. This was with any guitar and pick up combo of active or passive, Humbucker or single coil except for one Strat with noiseless pickups. The buzz would change volume based upon where you positioned yourself with the guitar in the room and the buzz changed when the el cheapo dimmers were used. The amp when not connected to a guitar was quiet as a church mouse.
Aside from the obvious of the studio needs to be electrically wired correctly, no bootstrapped grounds, Iso ground outlets, etc/ What are some good ways to band aid the situation to work. Obviously the guitars would need better shielding internally and should have it. Obviously using a 3 prong to 2 prong plug is not only dangerous, it is a big no no for many reasons.
Do things like the attached below really work?
The diodes are 35A which seems high except they are on purpose to allow the breaker to do it's job. The cap is a .01uF and the fuse is optional.
