Hi Steve, my name is Peter. I've got a VM2266C (2007 model) that I just recently purchased and I have this exact same issue as Jim above. I'm also in Australia. Any assistance with solving this would be really great.JimJ wrote:Thanks for the quick replies gentlemen. I think you've hit the nail on the head Steve. It is a buzzing type of hum. I took the back cover off and pressed down on the chassis as suggested. The tone of the buzz/hum does change and the volume reduces somewhat. The spacer is not present. What do you suggest in terms of getting the spacer. Cheers, Jim.
Since you have the combo I would also think that some of that buzz could be tube rattle.nondas wrote:Hi Steve, my name is Peter.

BTW, this is a fantastic amp.
Hi LiveWireBlanco. Tube rattle is a different noise. I had that at the beginning and it ended up being a bad tube. I got it replaced and now that rattle is pretty much gone. You can hear I a little if I turn the body up full and hit a fat bass note, but I don't even notice it. Actually, my windows have rattled more than the tubes on that setting :coolLivewireBlanco wrote:Since you have the combo I would also think that some of that buzz could be tube rattle.nondas wrote:Hi Steve, my name is Peter.

Wow! that was a quick reply!slowpokerhino wrote:Dave,
First, welcome to the forum.
The problem described above is, as far as I know, only an issue with the 2266c combo amps. I doubt that is your problem. Sounds to me like you may have a ground loop or power situation going on. Tell us a little more about what you use in your setup (pedals & cables are usually the culprit) and we'll try our best to help you track the problem down (we've gotten pretty good at this).
Welcome to the forum sib.sib wrote:Hello,
I've also just picked up a 2266. I got it off a guy who bought it new about a year ago. I've got exactly the same problem... I've pressed down on the chassis near the mains transformer and the buzz goes away, I can also just wiggle the mains cord for the same effect and there is no spacer evident.
Could you let me know how this is fixed.
Hope you can help, Cheers, Simon
The transformer spacer is actually applicable to both the 2266 and 2266C as they both use the same mains transformer.slowpokerhino wrote:Dave,

Just sign up to this forum just for these reasons, "buzzing" when turned on and also when the high gain switch-on (pushed in/white light) is this normal?!? I own a 50 watt version made in 07, my best amp so far, it just bugs me every time I power on.... so I just turn it up to mask the annoying buzz!
What's the cut off year for that spacer and how do I get one for my amp? and how much?
I live in Seattle, WA. and would definitely want to buy one for my amp!
Thanks in advance,
Dave
