lol – thankfully i’ve discovered its not the strat!! which is good news.
it made the same noise in another amp, but i think that was just coincidence. ive plugged several guitars into my 50watt fender amp, and the noise is stil there – i blew the fuse a while back, and replaced the original clear, seethrough fuse for a green coloured 1. altho it stil projects a guitar when connected, im wondering if it cood b the fuse.
wot do u fink??

cheers for the help

ps – leads are fine, ive tried a few, and the nasty droanin sound continues to annoy me!!
