I have been using my HRD for about a week and no problems. Then yesterday when I turned it on I was getting the loudest hum/feedback sound you can imagine. I had to keep going back and forth to standby and back to see if the noise was gone. after about a minute or 2 the amp was fine. It did this today as well. Am I doing something wrong? Heres what I do when I power it up

- Start in standby and leave it there to warm up for about a minute or 2

- Keep all appliances off(TV, Radio,etc)

- Use a new Strat and new cables so I dont think its one of those.


I am hoping that its just a "tubes not warmed up" issue. What do you guys think? Thanks

Would transporting it to and from practice in very cold weather (single digits) affect the tubes? I keep the amp in the protective cover and try to warm up the car before bringing it outside....

Be sure the tubes are not loose. It could just be a bad preamp tube too. If it's new, take it back.
