I was wondering if anybody has one and if they actually work? I am thinking of getting one for my guitar setup as I have a hum that is caused by the dimmer switches connected in our sound booth and my pastor, who is also a licensed electrician, says that is what is causing major hum in our church when the miusical instruments are plugged into the wall sockets! You see the church was built in the 70s when only the microphone from the PA was used! Today, it is a whole different story, as you have several different instruments, keyboard, guitar, bass, etc. plugged in the wall sockets and going out through the PA! So back then, hum was not a problem because you didn't have all of the modern instruments we have now plugged into the wall and being magnified through the PA system! I was just wondering if this is the same thing as this "ground loop hum" they speak of, that the hum X is supposed to get rid of? So......Has anyone tried one of these in a live setup?? Here is a harmony central review of it. (the ONLY one I could find on the net!)

It would be great if they finally made a plug that got rid of unwanted noise, but has anyone tried this thing out in a "real world" setting?? Also, what do you think the differences are between the Hum X and the Hum Eliminator??
