Hi,

Today I tried a Blues Jr, actually it was a Texas Red. Well I was a bit surprised with the hissing noise it made. I had volume and master turned all the way down and it was hissing and the odd crackling noise as well.

Is this normal? I really love this amp and will be buying a standard one as soon as possible, but it's a bit off putting to hear it hiss like that?

Was that just a defective one or do they all do that?

Thanks

I've got my fingers crossed that it's a one off.

When I first got my Blues Jr it was making some strange noises too. It turned out to be that one tube not seated right. I looked at them and one tube had shifted, maybe during shipping. Once that was put in right the noise went away.

Could have been something else plugged into the same power supply causing some interference. I have mine plugged into the same power board as my computer. If the computer is ON then I can hear a (very) faint hissing noise from the amp but nothing really disturbing.

I'd suggest try another one or even a different amp. Maybe you had a dodgy cable or plug?
