Hissing Ashdown After 8

Hello.

After some feedback from anyone that uses an After 8. Start to get hissing when volume goes past 1 o'clock and gets worse as volume goes up. The hissing stops if I put on full volume and press the extra bass button but I don't like that sound!
This is all with the treble turned right down (gain doesn't make much difference to hiss)

Do they all do this, am I expecting too much or is there a likely fault?

Cheers,

Chris.

Sorry to ressurect a zombie thread but it is probably quite usual as the TRL072 IC used in the amp is a bit noisy. REpolacing it with a real audio opampo like OPA2134 will probably remove most of the hiss. I am reapiting mine at the moment so will pots here when I have done it and chnaged the Tl072 for an OPA2134.
