Q: Only my Les Paul sparks and gets distorted at clean input

Hi everyone,

 

I have  problem with the input levels on my M-Audio Fasttrac pro and my Gibson Les Paul (burst bucker pro pickups). Its completely impossible to play the LP through the M-Audio, and it seems like the levels on the input is too high or the pickups are too "hot". When i turn my volume knob a millimeter for 0, it starts sparkling and gets distorted, and it sounds like everything is going to crack up. This is without any plugins or filter, just my guitar through the m-audio and into my mac with Logic Express. The weird thing is, this doesn't happen with any other electric guitar I've plugged in.

 

Maybe this post is more guitar technical topic, but i hope someone here could give me some tips on how to adjust the input / set up the divice so that it can handle the signal and make it playable.

 

 

 

Best regards
