    Hey ppl,

    I have one of those rocker 30 combos, and it's being real noisy, buzzing like. I've used it in a couple different places and it's the same. Does anyone know how to help me sort it out??...

    I'd also say it's probably tube related, just make sure the guitar/cable/pickups etc are all ok. Process of elimination.

    Well I've only ever used it in the house, and in two other studios, and the hum was present in all of them.

    Well I haven't had it that long, over a year? and it has not been used that much really, like I've never pushed too hard. But I dunno maybe it could be that...

    Jaysus! Them ehrrrrrs are the worst.

    Is it a low frequency hum? Does it happen without guitar plugged in?

    Has the amp been dropped? If it's humming (low freq) with and without guitar plugged in, it may be the power supply capacitors.

    First step is get it back to your dealer.

    lol, ok I realise that was a bit vague....
    I don't know the exact frequency but yeah it's a low-mid kinda sound. I was checking it there just and there is no sound without the guitar plugged in, though the 'Natural' channel seemed to be a bit noisy, with the volume up about half way, it was producing a sound like static, not overtly loud, but...As far as I know it hasn't been dropped.

    Ok I bought this in England, can I bring this to the distributor over here you were talking bout?
