Hey all....fairly new guitarist that purchased this amp a little over 3 months ago. My problem is that when I select voice 16 for my Squire Tele or my acoustic, I get quite a bit of static/hum unless it's turned down really, really low. I can put it on Voice 15 with any other knobs setting at whatever you want and I don't have this problem. Is there something wrong with this amp? I can't stand the extra noise while playing yet, I like the natural sound with voice 16. Any suggestions would be greatful!

I have the same amp, but I never noticed this. I'm generally using humbuckers, though. One of my guitars has coil-split humbuckers, so I will have to check it out in single coil mode to see if I get hum. That is not one of my favorite voices.

I like this amp a lot. My main dislike is the volume difference among the different voices.

Do you have the gain turned up?

I have this one too and got it mainly for voice #1 and to crank up at home. However, if you have a noise problem with the acoustic voice #16 there may be a problem with the amp. Should be no reason for the noise in the acoustic voice. The only noise I get is with the british amp and high overdrive voices when I crank it up. You may want to apply the 5 year warrant and contact your local licensed Fender repair person and see what they recommend.
