Hey everyone!
This is first post on here. Also about my first mesa!
I owned a 50:50 but this is my first full mesa amp. It’s a Roadster, and so far I really enjoy it. The only issue I have is this high pitch hum. First, I assumed it was the transformers, and just accepted it. On closer examination I realized the hum is coming from the rectifier tubes. At least I think it is. I doubt the choke could make a hum noise? But the hum is right in that area. So I have two questions.
1.Do rectifier tubes put out a very high pitch hum/fizz/hiss?
2.Would replacing the tubes with a solid state rectifier plug remove the hum?
Also, any info or ideas about the cause and or removal of the hum would be greatly appreciated.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
