Hi Dave,

Does the Sennheiser work OK with Baggs preamps?

I have a SmoothHound, which is/was made and available in UK and Europe. Uses AAA batteries, sounds great, and is OK with Baggs preamps - just a tiny bit of squeal. It has reverse polarity power and requires a fully isolated power supply like Cioks and many others.

The noise from Line6 + Baggs is the ceramic capacitors, I believe. The more space-efficient surface-mount capacitors are microphonic. They can also resonate when near other circuits. Judging by the color and size, Baggs has several such caps on their boards.

Here is a study of the subject:
