Hi Guys,

Please help me troubleshoot. I have a brand new Deluxe Reverb 65 reissue that I just received. It hums at all volumes and both channels but increases with volume increase on either channel. If I am plugged in to the normal channel (non- vibrato side) increasing the reverb on the vibrato channel increases the hum. If I turn of the reverb with the foot switch then the reverb pot has no effect on hum.

Please help.

Fender builds crap only because people keep buying it.

I prefer a good low noise balanced 12at7wc or 6201 in the reverb driver spot(V3), helps to reduce gain noise from preceding tube (V2).

What a pain. Return on warranty and get the same thing or replace a few preamp tubes starting with V3 and V4.

Take the warranty advice. The reverb tank's in/out are probably facing toward the back of the amp as well.
