swleary Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 that was direct in to the amp :)....no effects. I had it on the overdrive channel with boost from the amp itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 That doesn't sound like a Marshall ...... It doesn't even sound like a tube amp Sounds like the preamp section of the amp is being slammed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swleary Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 it hums even on the clean channel. Keep in mind I couldn't do a great recording, I used my camera. My thoughts are, it's a bad tube in the pre amp of the amp. Problem is when I took it back to the store, the salesperson wasn't too helpful.Almost made me feel like I was stupid when he checked to see if the tubes were glowing in the back "Oh there fine"...I gotta a little pissy with him then..like comoeon how do you know if the tubes are bad by just looking at them, there's a whole pre amp section you can't see. One other thing the salesman said "we'll send it to be fixed and we'll give you something else to borrow and we'll send it to our guy at Yorkville sound to get it fixed". The amp is less than a week old...hmmmm total BS in my books..... I may have to get touch with the ceo of Long & McQuade inorder to get it resolved.

If he did, and there's no hum at the shop it must be an environmental contributor in your house. You could try killing every lthing in your house that has a motor such as fridge, freezer, heating, air-con, extractor fans etc. If you get no hum go round switching things back on one by one until you find the offending item. I'd start with devices that connect with a wall socket because anything that is hard wired should be on a different circuit and us less likely to be the culprit. Yeah, don't accept any bull about sending it for repair. If it comes to that demand your money back and buy another one else where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swleary Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 I took a ground finder lastnight to all the outlets in the house. Everything electrical in the house is good. Now the kicker, I took the amp over to a neighbour's house and tried it there. Hum hum yet again. Today I'll email the ceo just so I have some extra backing...haha I'm gonna do it right now lol it's a lemon for sure....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Take it back. Make a scene if they won't replace it. You said it was a floor model right? Who know how much abuse it has taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 What kind of lighting do you have in the room where your amp is? I have low voltage neon lighting in my studio, when I use the fuzz/overdrive on my Boss ME 50 the closer I am to the light switch the louder the hum gets... Turn off the light and no hum...
