I bought this amp from Armored Amplification on Reverb. It is a Fender Pro Jr. chassis stuck inside a vintage Knox lunchbox amp from the 60s. I am having a few problems. First off, it hums if you turn the volume up just a bit. The hum grows louder the more you turn the knob. There is also an odor when the amp has been running for a time. It smells like something is burning. Could this be a resistor or is the amplifier arcing? I heard installing shorting jacks might help. When it came in the mail the PT was stuck to the back of the speaker magnet. It looks like they made a poor attempt at trying to mount it and it broke. The OT is on stilts and just wobbles. At least they made the wiring look tidy. Any help would be appreciated.

Wrong forum.

Try reposting in the "modern" amp section.
