concerning noise and hum from the amp...some questions...i got some hum, and it really made me wonder
"how do i determine whats a normal noise or hum and whats bad?" i guess experience...
Should I start by getting a good power conditioner? think one is good to have? i traced my power and it goes from 3 outlets to the breaker. all i have plugged in now is the amp.
and i saw this:
"Mike Soldano suggestion...turn your gain/preamp volume way up, and slowly turn your master/poweramp volume down. If the noise stops when master is turned down, your in luck, preamp(s). If the noise persists, output tubes or worse."
gain/preamp volume is labeled " volume" ? its sets the gain level of the pre amp tubes? like V1 and V2?
master/poweramp volume is labeled "master" ? this controls the power tubes?
and NOW with the guitar and cables disconnected, the amp is pretty quiet with no noise or hum
and in stand-by mode all i can hear is the fan...
plug the guitar in, no hum yet.
seems to be in the pedals or cable... someone once told me wire is wire... i tried to explain its not, but it was useless. I guess thats why he works in a hardware store and I build things...
thanks for any suggestions, going to get 2 new cables for the amp.
thanks
