I have a new Blues Deluxe. Nice amp, but lots of hiss on the gain channel with the drive set aboove 6 and the master above 3 or so.

I heard this on other BD's that I demoed in stores, so it's not specific to my amp, but I wondered if there are any new tubes or mods that I can make to this amp to reduce the hiss.

Could be several things really, could be the tubes (probably the amps in the stores still have stock tubes, which usually are biased really cold and have that hiss), could be a cold solder joint, could be the plastic input jack, could be the electricity in the store, could be magic pixie dust that settled in the amp.

So new tubes, have somebody check and make sure there aren't any dry solder joints (doubt it cuz those are really noticeable usually), replace the crappy plastic jacks with metal ones, or get a power conditioner. Any one or more of these could be the solution. As for pixie dust, I have no clue how to fix that one <_<

New tubes alone did the trick for my HRDV, I prefer JJs but almost anything is better than stock tubes. If new tubes don't do the trick see the next part of the list >_<
