I have a '94 Fender Blues which I bought second hand and it works properly in the beginning of a gig. but after playing it for a while it starts humming. could this be a tube issue?

I want to avoid an expensive service check if it's me and not the amp doing something wrong :wink:

By any chance do you have any effect pedals hooked up to your amp ? Some pedals with create a hum or static and then you`ll need a Noise Supressor. If not make sure your tubes are seated right. I bought a new Blues Jr. and the amp had static until I checked the tubes. 2 must have shifted during shipping and after making sure they were seated right the static never came back. It could be a simple fix so start with that first. You might want to ask your local music dealer and see if the tubes need to be replaced. They should offer that info free of charge.
