I recently tried out a Custom Vibrolux Reverb amp. Is the relatively loud hissing common on this amp? When the guitar was not being played, I thought I was listening to a Peavey playing a G string water faucet at a 4 or 5 volume setting. Was something wrong with the amp? I never heard any hissing on Fender amps.

The hiss on these amps is notoriously well-known. Some players have had success in taming it by upgrading to premium tubes and performing a few modest mods to the circuit.

Yep, normal. It's just something you get used to. These amps have character!
