i reently purchased a used frontman 25 from a guy on craigslist and it works fantastic with one exception, there is a really loud buzz/hum when i turn the reverb on, as soon as the knob is started to be turned up the buzz occurs. has anyone else here had this sort of problem? if so is it repairable by someone who has done pcb soldering and repairs in the past. because i only paid 40 dollars for this amp i just cant see spending a large amount of money to fix it, especially when i can now get one of these new for 99 dollars. Edit : thoought i ought to mention this happens when i plug in ALL of my guitars, an MIM hardtail strat, epi les paul studio, and a danelectro with 4 lipstick pickups. i also tried all of the cords i have as well.

Hard to say without testing it, but sounds like a broken ground loop.

Check all of the connections and look for broken or shabby solder joints.

Good luck!

lol, turned out that the amp didnt like being too near the old teevee i got rid of this morning. got a new tv over the weekend, put it in the same spot i had the old one and i noticed.no buzz!. then when the guy came over to check out the old tv before buying it, i turned it on and the amp, which was on, started the same damn hellacious buzz.
