EBTech Hum X Voltage Hum Filter

No longer available at zZounds
Plug your amp's power cord into the Ebtech Hum X before the wall outlet, and kiss ground loop hum goodbye -- while keeping your amp safely grounded.

The Ebtech Hum X filters out unwanted voltage and current in the ground line that cause ground loop hum while simultaneously maintaining a solid, safe ground. You no longer have to run your audio signal through any type of tone-sucking filter. Simply place the Ebtech Hum X on the end of the power cord of the equipment that has a Ground Loop and plug the Hum X into the wall outlet. Ground Loop is gone -- safely -- and audio signal remains intact. The easiest, safest way to get rid of ground loop hum.

Just a little background info on what I'm using the HumX for: my setup is a multi fx connected to my PC via usb, with the l/mono out of themulti fx going to the input of a bass amp. The hum sound was so bad that I just gave up using the software that came with the multi fx. Enter the HumX, I plugged it into the outlet and connected my power strip to it, had everything set up with the amp plugged into the strip, turned the volume and gain up on the bass amp and guess what? No more humming noise, it's a beautiful thing! It was really amazing just to hear silence for a change! Now I can use my multi fx software again!
Sound
The only sound I hear now is the music coming from my bass guitar, no more hum, buzz or noise.
Features
Small, fits into an outlet, red indicator light.
Ease of Use
No learning curve just plug in and get great sounds from your instrument.
Quality
Seems to be made well, we'll see how long it lasts.
Value
It is pricey, I shopped around and zZounds beat the price, it's cheaper than a noise gate which might not have solved my problem anyways, so I think it's worth it even at full price.
Manufacturer Support
No, have no dealt with them.
The Wow Factor
Not much appeal, just something you plug into the outlet, maybe along the same lines as a night light that doesn't light up!

Musical Background:

Playing guitar for almost a year, playing bass for about 6 months, just play at home for now.

Musical Style:

A little bit of everything, going through the Hal Leonard method books for guitar and bass.
