MY amp makes a weird noise. LIke in a frankenstein movie where the mad scientist has all the electricity goin in his lab and it fizzes and cracks. Its not my guitar, i checked that, however, I was messing around with the equalizer settings, so it could have been that. the noise diminishes with out distortion, but is still very quietly audible. It also gets quieter corresponding to the treble level on the distortion panel. Its a 75 watt amp with a 10 in. speaker. if that helps. I bought it used, if that matters, either. thanks.
