My Roadster

Anyone find their Roadster's noisy. Mine had a hum, that I think was a power tube. I swapped it and all is good again.

Just an idea, not knowing if this is a head or combo, regardless, start with one known good speaker cable to a known good speaker cab, a known good guitar cord to your guitar. It could be a list of problems, but if you start with the basics, you can go from there. Switch through the channels, note any differences.
Sometimes, from my experience, I would find out the simple connections I make over and over again gets mixed up.
The human factor I guess, well along with the aging factor in my case.
Give it a shot at low volumes but if there is something wrong with it, the less you run it the odds of making it worse
lessen.

You need to run it thru a different power socket, preferably with a power conditioner, to see if that stops the hum too...

All it was was the normal issues associated with tube amps. Thanks for the replies, no matter how unhelpful/helpful they were.

I've noticed the same slight hum issue and thought it probably caused by tubes.(especially on ch3 and ch4 )
After reading this thread,I gave it a try to change the cable between guitar and amp(Roadster).
The difference is...WOW.... :shock:
The tone is incredible!!!!
And the hum is totally disappeared!!!

Thanks LerxstLee.

Just use plain sarcasim, enough with the excl.!! gimpness.
A slight hum was the problem.
Trying to help with simple suggestions.
I pointed out it could be alist of problems, plus he was having it checked out
in a day or two, perhaps something simple would get him though.
