mrtcat Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi Dave, I've got an Ampeg SVT-6 Pro head which powers a mesa boogie cab. Now the sound is awesome and exactly what I wanted but one little thing is driving me nuts. I switch the head on and for about 10 - 15 seconds there's silence then a moderately loud click and the amp sends a constant buzz throught the cab. The buzz is loud enough that I can't mic the cab live which is my preferd technique. Is this likely to be something I'm causing or does the amp need to go back from whence it came? Ive tried different cables, power leads etc. Any advice would be most welcome. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
