I bought a rebel 30 head about a year ago off Craigslist and I cant seem to find anyone else that has had the same problem as me.
A couple of months ago, I'd be playing and the amp would suddenly make an extremely loud hiss/buzz/screaming sound that you could probably hear down the block. I would turn it off and on again and the problem would go away. This continued to happen randomly while playing maybe once every session.
Now, the amp does nothing but this noise, even without anything plugged into the input, and even when volume is turned all the way down. I'd imagine that it is about as loud as this thing can make, and I would describe the sound as pure electrical tube chaos.
Kind of like: SHDGJSHSDFSFDSHH.
I have double checked everything I can think of:
- Checked tube pin connection
- Checked (tapped with a pencil) for microphonic tubes
- Checked Speaker Cable and correct Ohms for cabinet
Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?
I thought I'd try here before I bring it in to a shop.
