Hi all,

I got the Mustang LT25 today and noticed a hissing sound right out of the box.

It's not a loud sound but noticeable. The noise starts when I turn the amp on, the noise level doesn't change with presets or volume level. It seems to be from somewhere near the on-off switch/display panel. When headphones are plugged in, the noise isn't present in the headphone but is still present near the switch.

I suspect it's a power/transformer issue. The power sockets are properly grounded, so I think it's something with the amp itself.

I also saw similar problems in this forum and elsewhere:

The noise is quite similar to the one in the last link, but more constant.

Is this normal? Or should I return it?

Thanks,
leafpile

You may get better answers under the Mustang GT sub-forum, however...

Have you tweaked in the noise gate? Mustangs have hiss to “give them the character” of the tube amps they model, but you can dial it out.

If that does not work, exchange it.

Good luck!

The Mustang LT25 has Noise Gate function in Amp Setting like GT40 ?
