Hi, I would like to get some info on my new amp I got.
first this amp is wow and pretty dam loud. I just want to know if is normal when all volume is at zero and I play on my guitar I can hear the sound get out a little bit out of the cab and my other question is. when the amp is open and my guitar volume is at zero and the amp too I heard a little hum from the cab
My cab is Marshall 4x12 set to 16 ohm (because I have 4 Celestion blackbacks at 25 watts each)
here a pic and you can see the head is in very good shape

Good grief! It happens, it's normal, but why in the world does anyone want to have the amp on with all volumes to zero and still play with the guitar volume turned up? :roll: Turn the guitar volume down and leave the amp settings ready to play.....problem solved. Any amp can have a little hum, and only excessive hum is reason to worry.

The volume bleed is pretty much normal for these amps. I have 5 Red Knob Twins and 2 Showman's ( I know, I have a problem! ) like yours and they all do it. Shimmi's right. Don't sweat the hum either! Good luck with the amp. Looks great!
Whip!

Modern. You can remove the chassis and have a peek inside. :wink:
