noise on fender amp

[stupots]

I use a fender telecaster thinline going through a fender princeton amp I get a lot of buzz once i plug my guitar in ,all the electrics have been checked in the church where I play , I used to use a noise gate in the past in a rack system I had which worked great, question is there a adapter I can plug into the amp ,then my guitar into that, instead of having a noise gate unit on the floor
thanks

What do you call buzz? Is it hum? Does your Tele have single coils? Does it hum only when you let go of it? There are several reasons why this is happening, and some of them are entirely normal.

hi, the pickups are single coil but the buzz is annoying ,when i used to use a noise gate in my rack the amp was perfectly quite, that has been sold on some time back, but a simple plug in noise gate would save all my aggro,I done want to have any floor units as space is limited

Shielding your guitar, using only high-quality cables, and plugging your amp into a power conditioner *may* help but single-coil pickups are by nature noisy and susceptible to EMI/RF interference. Switching to noiseless pickups would eliminate the problem but you may not find their tone to your liking.

Is there noise while you are playing? If not, your fix is already there. Vol knob. Turn to 0.

Is the amp an older version?? Might be filter caps, or a funky ground.. I recently discovered a cool trick that is phasing the filaments so they are all in phase for the preamp and them reverfsed phase for the power amp.. Cleaned up a few of my noisy amps.. I have found that tubes can cause noise as well..

So, this has stock Tele pickups? Which model of pickups?

I bought a Squire Paranormal Offset Tele last Saturday and as usual, it was noisy. Really noisy. I was going to change the strings anyway and after those came off, I removed the screws and looked at the wiring, which was typically unkempt and in no way capable of rejecting noise, so I twisted the wires to the pickups and jack- it helped a bit, but didn't do much. Twisted pair wiring has been used for over 100 years for telephone and other wiring, including ethernet cabling because it rejects noise without the need for shielding and it helped with the noise when I had a Baja Player's Club Tele but ultimately, it's the missing connections to ground that need to be corrected. The Baja had a Copper-plated plate under the neck pickup with a ground wire, but the neck pickup's cover was ungrounded and it turned out that the Offset Tele's cover wasn't grounded, either.

I made sure the cover wasn't soldered at the edge by bending the tabs and pressing it away from the coil and it slid off easily. Then, I pushed it down and bent the tabs, bared the base metal and soldered a wire to it. Once that had cooled, I wound the wire around the twisted wires and soldered it to the back of the volume control and turned up the amp's volume control- the little buzz can now be almost totally eliminated by touching any of the grounded metal parts on the guitar, like the controls, bridge or strings.

Make sure that pickup cover is grounded.

Honestly, I don't know why they can't do this at the factory.
