There's a buzzing in my ears!

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

could be something silly like a ground loop but does not sound right, might be worth getting it checked out.

My retailer has taken it on for me as it's still in warranty so with any luck that'll see it resolved!
Thanks for the reply
