I wonder if anyone else here has encountered anything similar:
Buzzing at one very specific frequency (880Hz, "A" fretted at 12th fret, 5th string) as I turn the volume or the gain up past a certain point. Different from overall base "Flub" in that frequencies only 1/2 step lower or higher don't induce the phenomenon. The usual trick of turning down the base/adjusting contour doesn't work unless I remove practically all base, which is not (typically) a sound I'm looking for. It isn't fret buzz (checked that unplugged), so I'm thinking that the chassis-cab together have a resonant frequency near 880 Hz? Oh, I'll add that the amp is mounted in a stand that lifts the butt-end off the floor about 8-10", and I am playing an a small (12 x 12), acoustically bright room.
Grateful to anyone with magic dust to spread on top of this one.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hallmark.
