Anyone noticing any fizz/fuzz w/ their Mark V's?

Here's some things I noticed...

It seems the 10w and 45w modes do somewhat a little more noise than the full 90w. Putting in variac makes it pretty noisy... Channel 1 and 2 are perfect, channel 3 is fucking noisy, I noticed it's a lot noisier than before, especially on the mark IV mode...

could be your preamp tubes,etc....time to trouble shoot!!!

We recorded our last jam, and here's some samples of what it now does...

There's a kind of fizzle right after playing as you can hear after the mini lead in this file:

And you can hear it too, in the first part of the mp3. In the second part (which is a couple of seconds after), some weird noise the amp did after playing a song. Of course, this was boosted, cause the microphone wasn't picking it up that loudly, but it was clearly audible even with earplugs.

Oh and here are the settings of my amp:

That's a preamp or effects loop driver tube (most noticable in your 2nd file). Sounds like you're noise-gated(?) as well, so the tube noise must have to exceed a specific threshold just to be heard.

Oh yeah that makes perfect sense ! (Yeah I'm using a noise gate).

I'll have to do a battery of tests with my cables and stuff, but the more opinions I have, the better

Thanks a bunch ! Love this forum.
