FAQ: Why would USB cause noise or hum?
A computer can create a ground loop with a guitar amp when the VP4 is
connected to both. To address this, consider using a USB Audio Ground
Loop Eliminator (Type C > C) between the VP4 and the computer, or an audio
isolation transformer between the VP4 and the amp. AIso, if you're using a
laptop, try switching from AC power to battery power or vice versa.
