Additional follow-up

I wrote a review earlier for this product, that it worked very well in removing noise from a setup plugging a mixer into a noisy church building system. I recently found another, unexpected use for this item. I also play guitar in a band. Those out there who may play an electric guitar with single coil pickups know that these instruments are subject to noise. My practice space has got some pretty noisy electrical wiring (mainly from multiple light dimmers), and I have always had problems with noise when playing my single-coil-equiped Stratocaster. I have done several things to reduce the noise, with variable amounts of success. The other day while playing, and experiencing a noisy condition, I had the idea of using this interface between the guitar and amp. Bingo! Quiet! Hard to believe, and it doesn't color the tone, either (not that I could notice, anyway). If guitar players get wind of this, sales of this product should skyrocket! (funny they don't advertise this -- Pro-Co makes guitar effects, notably the Rat overdrive pedal) At any rate, I will be including this from now on as part of my regular guitar setup.

Noise Gone!

I needed to connect a sub-mixer into the house system at a church for a special program. When I plugged the mixer into the sytem I got a huge amount of static and HF noise. When I turned on the mixer I got a local radio station broadcasting a basketball game! I inserted the AV1 and everything went away but some 60 cycle hum. Flipped the handy ground lift switch and silence. Zero noise! The difference was amazing, beyond my expectations. I highly recommend this product!
