I've found that putting my guitar through max/msp causes a hissing sound to come out of the amplifier. Is there any way to get rid of this?

What is your audio interface? Are you applying a lot of gain in MSP?

Just figured it out. I put the guitar through 2 signal faders, the first one is set to a bit more than halfway to get rid of the noise, and the second one is turned all the way up to put the guitar back up to normal volume. This seems to work nicely.

I'm glad you found a setting that works for you.

I should point out that unity gain on a gain~ fader is not at the top 

of its travel. A default gain~ fader has a range of 0-157, with unity 

gain at 127 (or maybe128?). There is somewhere around 20 db of gain 

between unity gain and the top of travel.

I guess I would try setting your initial slider to unity gain and see 

if you can build the rest of your system around that gain.

Hissing sound?
