Hi
Equipment...with no earth ground can lead you to this.. Consider also the room and its ventilation.

Sounds a little like an impedance mismatch or a grounding/shield
Sounds a little like an impedance mismatch or a grounding/shielding problem.
If cables are 1/4" cables make sure that they are pushed in all the way.
Sometimes, the cable seems to be in but it needs a little more push to completely connect.
Short anecdote:
Many times, I've given the direct box to a bass player with instruction to plug into the INPUT.
Then when we go to get bass sounds, there is either no sound at all or just some hissing. Naturally the bass player is looking at me to figure out why there's no bass in his headphones. After tracking down my connections and not finding a problem, I walk out to the studio only to find that he only pushed his lead into the direct box only half way. (or he's plugged into the OUTPUT!)
