the buzz comes from (first) your stratocaster single coil pickups

use a humbucking pickup to start with, then if you must use
pedals the power supplies must be modified to filter out all
the 60 cycle ripple before it enters the signal chain.
of course nearly all pedals have cheap crap design power
supplies, and are very noisy in 60 cycle ripple and hissssssss!
you are one of those who think that you need pedals to sound good,
or to make you a better player; and none of these pedals makes
you sound any better or makes you play better. junk them all.
then go buy a good guitar and a real tube amp, that really will
make you sound better, but it wont make you a better player.
you need to practice to be a better player, and no pedal will
ever solve that problem.


Dude. Why don't you keep your "anti-pedal" tirades to yourself?

They are just tools and far better players than you have been using
them for years to make great music.

What the hell are you doing posting to the acosutic guitar group? You
haven't a clue about 'em.
