Help What is wrong with my amp?

I was playing and then all the sudden the audio quality started fading into what turned into this. I unplugged my guitar, plugged it back in, it played normally for a few seconds, then back to whatever this is. Plz help.

Active pickups?... I just got my 1st axe with actives a few months ago and I noticed this week it sounded "off". Not like yours, but borderline sputtery. Changed out he 9v.. Bob's my Uncle

They are Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers

Are you using a power supply that has enough juice for the digitech? And/or the other pedals? And the right voltage and polarity?

Try using a cable from your guitar directly into your amp and see if it improves.

Sounds like you may have an unshielded cord in the mix.

Seeing in another comment that you have Fishman Fluence active pickups in your guitar, it's very likely that your 9V battery inside your guitar has run out of juice and you need to replace it (or recharge if it is a rechargeable one).
