Frying noise from plug-ins

Can someone help me?
Certain plug-ins make very bad frying noise. It’s almost an amp simulation…

(The sound of the video was recorded low, sorry.)

Is your Mod device plugged directly into your audio interface?

If so, you might get less noise using a DI box with a ground lift.

Thanks for the advice, I ran it today, but it didn’t work at all… Whether it was Di-box, balance cable, or power unit change, all of them couldn’t get rid of the noise. The only thing that’s clear is that if I turn off the amp sim plug-in in the dwarf, the noise goes away. I think this is a problem with the amp sim plug-in or the software. I bought the dwarf as an all-in-one solution without an amplifier, so this is very frustrating. I can’t record because of that noise…

Does it happen with all amp sims? If you pinpoint the issue to the amp sim, likely it won’t happen with others.

In your video, I see that you are using the Alembic with a Bass cabinet. Does that mean that you are trying to get a Bass rig? Have you tried other cabinets?
I see as well that you have a Big Muff plugin on. Those are quite noisy indeed, but that’s just like the real thing. If you turn it off does the noise disappear while you are not playing?

It looks like the audio signal is getting tainted, as it happens when you turn on an amp (which literally amplifies existing noise bits)

I think you need to find what the source is.

Try putting a noise gate early in your chain and see it blocks out noise below a certain treshold.
By changing the position of the gate, you might become somewhat wiser about the place in the chain where either the noise is generated or amplified (2 different things)

Noise gates you can check
