Would the modification being done cause the HUM or could it be that it's not done and that's why it hums? Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. I'll check in the guts ASAP...

I've had the amp since 2003'ish. Since then the only mod I've done myself was the volume modification. Is there a way I can see if the previous owners had modified it by opening up the amp? I've got the verision with the blue light and three metal flip switches on the front if that helps...

I've been trying to use a GT pedal using the 4 cable method but when doing so I have a loud hum. I've determined the cause is my effects loop. The higher I turn the knob on the back for effects output, the louder the hum gets. When I remove the GT from the effects loop and use it like a normal...

Well, I've never used the .50 caliber or the F-50 but I have owned a DC-5 for the past 8 years probably and enjoy it alot. Most of the reviews I've read on here previously though compare it to a hybrid MARK/Rectifier amp. The cleans aren't quite as neat as the Mark meaning their a bit more...

How do the cleans sound out of the blackout pickups?

Are you using the effects loop? When I use my effects loop, the further up I turn the saturation level on that, the more my DC-5 Hums... I've learned to just not use the loop because I haven't found any help regarding that issue.

I've done the same thing before with the speaker mute. I used to live in an apartment and had the direct out going into a home studio, then wired to some headphones because my headphone out sounded terrible. I noticed once in the apartment that sound was still coming out, but it was VERY...

How has nobody mentioned Buckethead yet???

So are we thinking it's just a bad potentiometer? Can I just change that out? I don't mind the blending knob on the back, I just want to resolve the loud HMMMMMMMM sound I hear with the knob turned up. = ) Appreciate your feedback... Does anyone else with this amp have this problem?

I knew a guy who had a diamond series once. It sounded okay when it was heavily distorted. It sounded bad clean though. Real bad...

How do I fix it?

Sorry to bring this back up again but it never really was clarified. When I run by GT6 through the effects loop now, The Volume / Wah pedal among many other effects doesn't really seem to be present until I crank the effects loop volume. Problem is when I do this, my amp has a pretty loud...

Thanks for the heads up on the MOD. I've never done anything like this inside my amps. While I'm not playing in an apartment anymore, I definitely notice the volume issue everyone is describing. How hard is it to get the amp out of the combo chassis? How long will this mod take me to...

I think the jpm is a pretty sweet axe personally. I like petrucci's Ibanez way more than the musicman guitars. I think they have more character.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to use the amp models that are on the pedal. The reason I was trying to use the 4 cable method was because a) I had heard such great things about the possibilities that come with it but also b) I was under the impression that some of the effects I could use pre - pre amp...

I saw one of these at a guitar center about a year ago in Phoenix and they wanted like 3200 for it. Good luck on your quest!

I'll give this a try and see how it works out for me. Thanks!

Greetings! I hope I'm posting this in the right place as I'm new and was hoping some of you boogie veterans could help me with my DC-5. What I'm trying to do is connect my guitar through a GT-6 using the 4 cable method, but when I connect this way, the separate channel controls on my amp...
