So I moved to NYC and my amp and guitar came with me. It was only an hour ride, but as you can imagine the roads are not smooth, AT ALL! I just plugged in straight to the amp and I am when I flipped to high dynamic I am getting this NASTY NASTY NASTY buzz. I have still not solved the problem, but here were the steps I took in troubleshooting it:
switched outlets - no change
lifted ground - buzz got really thin sounding but still there
gently tapped on all tubes - no microphonic tubes or rattling
replaced pre amp tubes one at a time - no change, but buzz did get a little thin when i changed V3
changed cables - same buzz
walked around the place with guitar and turned of all lights and electronics - no change
UNPLUG GUITAR FROM CABLE - BUZZ GOES AWAY BUT A LITTLE HUM (seems normal i think)
UNPLUG CABLE FROM AMP - BUZZ GOES AWAY
obviously the buzz gets louder when i increase the master. on low dynamic it becomes noticeable when i hit 3/4 on the master
i think it may be the guitar because when i flip to the neck pup the buzz gets thin and when i flip to middle position the buzz decreases in volume a little.
PLEASE HELP!
