Glad to hear you found it, Gene. Low battery in a pedal perhaps?

Jason - I use AC adapters for my (4) pedals. But....I bought cheap patch cords (6 for $8.00). This may have something to do with it.

That goes back to my earlier statement:
"Make sure you have a low capacitance guitar cord."
That being said usually the shorter the cord the less capacitance there is. It could be in one of your pedals. Do all have true bypass?

Actually Ken, none of them has True Bypass. Although, the AC30CC claims that it has a True Bypass effects loop. Could this be the problem?

Find two good cables that sound good with just the guitar and amp (one at a time). Then start adding pedals and cables until you find the ones causing the problems. It could be a small effect of more than one adding up to the problem. George L's and Monster are just two of the good cables out there. I'm sure there are more. The issue is that there is a certain amount of capacitance between the signal lead and the shield allowing upper frequencies to bleed to ground. This is one of the reasons that audiophiles spend huge dollars on their HiFi cables. This principal holds true here too. Keeping the guitar's volume and tone controls at full also help.
