Power conditioner?

[Woody Sound]

Caveat, I am not an electrician. Would something like this help with noisy electric in my studio in my 70+yo ranch with a 100 Amp box?

Maybe. I have one (not that exact model, but a conditioner) and I think it helps with some amps some of the time. I'm in a very electronically noisy room, with routers, computers, printers, scanners, and what have you. LED lightbulbs. But overall, I don't get much noise from my amps most of the time.

I used to use a lithium battery power inverter when I wanted quiet, isolated AC in the last place I lived.

The thing in the picture is not intended to quiet audio electronics.

Why do you think the noise originated from the power line?

[GuyBoden]

Yes, an 'Off Grid Power Supply' would be very quiet, but would need regular recharging.

I have delt with power line spikes on the industrial level for many years.

I have measured spikes on high voltage power lines in the many thousands of volts for verry short durations.

For incoming power line spikes the best option in a 1 to 1 transformer.

For hash generated within your environment a line conditioner or UPS in a good option.

It depends on the cause of the noise. If the cause is EMI emitted by devices in your home being picked up by guitar pickups (especially single coils) and amplified by your signal chain, probably not. If the cause is devices in your studio being affected by noise in the power lines, maybe, but that's not all that common a problem.

Maybe.

^^^This is the only correct answer, and anyone who tries to give you a more definitive answer is either delusional or lying.

I *think* it's in the lines, because turning certain wall switches on and off has an effect. Someone in my area is selling one for $50 (less than half price), so I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it.

What does the switch switch on and off? What's the noise?

...unless what's causing the noise is whatever devices are being switched on and off by those wall switches.

[sgosnell]

Using it couldn't hurt, I suppose, but I could not guarantee it will help.

Look up Isolation Transformer, Woody. Tripplite and Hammond are industry goto-es.
