Hi there,
I have a Fender FM 212R amp. when i plug in my electric guitar (Les Paul), there is a strong backgroud buzz. The sound of the buzz is disturbing and annoying and it's there even if i don't play.
It goes away if i turn the Treble to minimum.
The buss increases also when i turn on the distortion.
It has always been like that.

any idea how to resolve this?
thanks
Eli

Does the hum/buzz change if you place your hand on top of the strings or pups when plugged into the amp? And have you tried other guitars with this amp?

i have a Gibson Let Paul Traditional.
the hum doesn't stop if i touch the strings
i also tried an acoustic guitar with a built in pickup (Taylor) and there is no hum.
thanks
